Circuits
Right circuits in VH-AFR, runway 28R
- take-off
- set full power
- 55KIAS rotate
- apply right rudder to keep balance
- 300ft after take-off check
- flaps up
- power is full
- > 2300rpm
- landing light [can leave on for circuits]
- achieve 74KIAS (Vy)
- at 500ft turn onto crosswind
- lookout [for right turn]: clear left, clear centre, clear above, clear right
- roll out when heading bug at 90 degrees
- maximum AoB 15 degrees [in climb]
- adjust attitude for 74KIAS (Vy)
- level off at 1000ft
- at 1nm from runway turn onto downwind
- lookout [for right turn]: clear left, clear centre, clear above, clear right
- AoB 30 degrees
- rollout to straight & level when heading bug at 180 degrees
- radio
ALPHA FOXTROT ROMEO DOWNWIND FOR TOUCH AND GO
- BUMFISH check
- Brakes
- Under-carriage
- Mixture full rich
- Fuel on both and sufficient to go-around
- Instruments in green
- Switches, landing light ON
- Hatches and Harnesses secure
- hold the heading with visual reference point
- workflow: Height, Speed, Heading, Spacing
- abeam runway threshold reduce power to 2000rpm
- maintain 1000ft
- at below 110KIAS take [first stage] 10 flap
- trim for flap
- at 45 degrees from runway threshold turn onto base
- lookout [for right turn]: clear left, clear centre, clear above, clear right
- roll out when heading bug at 270 degrees
- power back to 1500rpm
- maximum AoB 30 degrees [descent]
- at below 85KIAS take [second stage] 20 flap
- trim for flap
- half-sky/half-ground attitude
- aim for 75KIAS in approach descent
- turn onto final
- aim for 75KIAS in approach
- tower
ALPHA FOXTROT ROMEO RUNWAY TWO EIGHT RIGHT CLEAR TOUCH AND GO
- radio
TWO EIGHT RIGHT CLEAR TOUCH AND GO ALPHA FOXTROT ROMEO
- aimpoint (runway numbers), aspect, airspeed (65)
- take [full] 30 flap
- trim for flap
- aim for 65KIAS
- land
- at just before threshold markers, power to idle
