________ Steep Turns (<Va & 50 degrees +/- 5 360 degree turn then immediate in opposite direction) (Heading +-10 degrees, Altitude +-100’ Airspeed +-10 Kts.)
 
 
________ Chandelles (<Va & 30 degrees bank) (Constant bank to 90 degree point) (Constant rate rollout 90 to 180 degree point.) (constant pitch; rollout +-10 degrees; +-5kts. of power on stall speed.) (Resume straight-level at final altitude +-50’)
 
________ Lazy Eights (Constant change of pitch, bank & turn rate.) (Consistent altitude and airspeed at 90 degree points +-100’ +- 10kts.) (Attains starting altitude & airspeed at completion +- 100’ +-10 Kts.) (Heading tolerance +-10 degrees at each 180 degree point.)
 
________ Eights On Pylons (3-5 sec. Straight flight through pylons.) (Line-of-sight remains on pylon with minimum longitudinal movement) (Avoid slips and skids.)
 
________ Go-Around (Vy +-5)
 
________ Forward Slips
 
________ Short Field Approaches & Landings (Recommended speed or 1.3Vso w/gust factor, +-5Kts.) Specified point, or <100’ past point.)
 
________ Soft Field Takeoff & Climb (Vx or Vy then Vy +-5)
 
________ Soft Field Landing (1.3 Vso +10/-5 w/gust factor)
 
________ Crosswind Landing / Taxi
 
________ Supplemental Oxygen
 
________ Pressurization (Simulated pressurization system malfunctions.)
 
________ Other Procedures (specify)
