LESSON 13 – Performance takeoffs and landings
Dual – ground: 0.5, flight: 1.0
Objective: Introduce student to varying runway conditions and develop skill during takeoff and
landing
Discussion topics:
1) performance computation
2) elements related to performance takeoffs and landings
Review:
1) flight at slow airspeeds with realistic distractions
2) recognition and recovery from low-level stalls
3) forward slips
Introduce:
1) short-field takeoff and climb
2) soft-field takeoff and climb
3) short-field approach and landing
4) soft-field approach and landing
Completion standards:
1) Student understanding of the need to use performance takeoffs and landings
2) Student demonstration of the correct procedure to be used under simulated or actual
conditions
