10) power-on stall and recovery
11) systems and equipment malfunctions
12) en route emergency procedures
13) emergency approach and landing
14) traffic patterns
15) normal and crosswind approach and landings
16) go-around
17) post-flight procedures
18) forward slips
19) flight by reference to instruments
Completion standards:
1) Instructor determines if student is able to competently conduct solo flights in the practice area
2) Altitude within 150 feet, airspeed within 10 knots, heading within 15 degrees
3) Demonstrate ability to depart airport, find local practice area, and return to airport with no instructor assistance
