ASEL – Slow Flight, Stalls, Basic Instruments - A070405-08

FAASTeam library-193544Published June 12, 2019Instrument

In Brief

What It Addresses

NOTE: The Flight Instructor will ensure the airman possesses the knowledge, ability to manage risks, and skills consistent in the performance of flight maneuvers specifically listed in the Areas of Operation for Takeoffs, Landings and Go-Arounds; Emergency Operations, and Night Operations (as applicable) to the ACS completion standards. While this WINGS Flight Activity targets specifically the Takeoff, Landing, and Go-Around Area of Operation, Airmen should satisfactorily demonstrate all pertinent parts of the ACS in their Preflight, Flight, and Post Flight activities consistent with their certificate or rating.

COMMENTS: (Use back for additional notes)

FLIGHT MANEUVERS (FM) GRADE D - Describe – at the completion of the flight, the Airman will be able to describe the physical characteristics and cognitive elements of the flight activities. Instructor assistance is required to successfully execute the maneuver.

E - Explain –at the completion of the flight, the Airman will be able to describe the flight activity and understand the underlying concepts, principles, and procedures that comprise the activity. Significant instructor effort will be required to successfully execute the maneuver. P - Practice – at the completion of the flight, the Airman will be able to plan and execute the flight. Coaching, instruction, and or assistance from the CFI will correct deviations and errors identified by the CFI.

C - Perform – at the completion of the flight, the Airman will be able to perform the activity without assistance from the CFI. Errors and deviations will be identified and corrected by the Airman in an expeditious manner. At no time will the successful completion of the activity be in doubt. (“Perform” will be used to signify that the Airman is satisfactorily demonstrating proficiency in traditional piloting and systems operation skills for the certificate or rating being exercised in order to act as Pilot in Command.)

N/O - Not Observed – Any event not accomplished or required

SINGLE PILOT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT GRADE (SRM) E- Explain – the Airman can verbally identify, describe, and understand the risks inherent in the flight. The Airman will need to be prompted to identify risks and make decisions.

P - Practice –the Airman is able to identify, understand, and apply SRM principles to the actual flight situation. Coaching, instruction, and/or assistance from the CFI will quickly correct minor deviations and errors identified by the CFI. The Airman will be an active decision maker. M/D - Manage/Decide - the Airman can correctly gather the most important data available both within and outside the cockpit, identify possible courses of action, evaluate the risk inherent in each course of action, and make the appropriate decision. Instructor intervention is not required for the safe completion of the flight.

(“M/D” will be used to signify that the Airman is satisfactorily demonstrating proficiency in SRM skills for the certificate or rating being exercised in order to act as Pilot in Command.)

N/O - Not Observed – Any event not accomplished or required
