Regarding the touchdown zone....

• The PF shall nominate a touchdown point for every landing—usually the 300 m markers on large runways. The touchdown point shall be within the first third of the runway, unless specific airfield requirements dictate otherwise.

• The PF shall nominate a touchdown point for every landing—usually the 200 m markers on large runways. The touchdown point shall be within the first third of the runway, unless specific airfield requirements dictate otherwise.

• The PF shall nominate a touchdown point for every landing—usually the 300 m markers on large runways. The touchdown point shall be within the first half of the runway, unless specific airfield requirements dictate otherwise.

• The PF shall nominate a touchdown point for every landing—usually the 200 m markers on large runways. The touchdown point shall be within the first half of the runway, unless specific airfield requirements dictate otherwise.

When performing a glide approach...

• Must be dual only, unless specifically authorised by the Head of Training, CFI or delegate.

• If the wings are not level on final approach by 200’ AGL, a go-around is to be carried out.

• If the wings are not level on final approach by 300’ AGL, a go-around is to be carried out.

What are the criteria to meet stable gate requirements on a normal approach? (tick all that apply)

• The landing / final checklist is complete

• The aircraft is established on the correct flight path (lateral and vertical)

• The aircraft speed is not more than 10kt above, or 5kt below, target airspeed

• The aircraft is in the correct landing configuration or there is only one more stage of flap to be deployed to achieve the landing configuration

• Sink rate is no greater than 700 ft per minute; if an approach requires a sink rate greater than 700ft per minute, a special briefing should be conducted

What are the minimum heights over a built up and non-built up area that you must fly if you are a solo student? (Tick all that apply)

• 1500ft AGL over a built up area.

• 1000ft AGL over a non-built up area.

• 500ft AGL over a non-built up area.

• 1000ft AGL over a built up area.

When using the grass runway at Christchurch Airport, because of simultaneous operations on the main runway 02/20, aircraft taking off must...

• Passing 420’ AMSL aircraft are to commence a turn to diverge away from the main runway by at least 10⁰, climb to 500’ if conditions allow, then fly a square crosswind

• Passing 520’ AMSL aircraft are to commence a turn to diverge away from the main runway by at least 15⁰, climb to 500’ if conditions allow, then fly a square crosswind

• Climb out as per usual nothing extra is required

What is the Special VFR met minima?

• Ceiling 600ft

• Visibility 1500m

• Visibility 5000m

• Ceiling 1500ft
