    • Setting coordinate system (MM:DEC vs MM:SEC) and PRECISION
    • Creating waypoints (HSI, UFC, POSITION/ELEVATION)
    • Inserting waypoints into sequences (HSI, SEQUFC, INS)
  • BRA calls
  • Understanding Radials and determine what radial you are on relative to steerpoints and TACAN stations
  • Bullseye usage
    • Setting a WP as Bullseye (HSI, DATA, A/A WP)

Landing

  • On-speed Flying
    • Level Flight (Pick an altitude, dirty up and go on-speed maintaining altitude)
    • Turning (Perform ~30 degree bank turns maintaining altitude)
    • Careful climbing and descending (around 500 feet/minute)
    • Quickly going from ordinary flight (around 350 kts IAS) to on-speed flying.
  • Landing (~500-700 feet/minute, no flare, extend speed brake if full stop)
  • Traffic Pattern Touch'n'Go Practice (maintain on-speed, climb to 1500', turn downwind to end up ~1.5 NM from course line, turn final and descend when wingtip passes runway threshold)
  • Overhead break (Approach in runway direction, 300 kts IAS, 1500'. Break over runway, enter downwind and land as explained above) http://wiki.masterarms.se/index.php/Fil:OverheadBreak.png
