flight grading

hi people,

as quite a few of you were interested, i'll just post it here. Hope thats alright with you guys. Anyways, here it is:


Dragonair Advanced Flight Grading: Diamond Twinstar DA42-L360

Flight 1: General handling
- straight and level
- Climbing and descending
- Turns:- medium, Steep
- Climbing and descending turns
- Stalls:- Full clean stall, incipient stall in landing config
- Unusual attitudes


Fight 2: Circuits
- normal
- flapless
- short field
- engine failure after takeoff
- engine failure on downwind
- asymmetric go-around
- asymmetric landing


Flight 3: Instrument Flying
- same as Flight 1 but under the hood


Flight 4: VFR nav
- around five legs including one diversion. Google map helps a lot, just look up what the places look like beforehand.
- You are given a flight plan and a map with the legs drawn on for you. All the winds , distances, tracks, hdgs and times are given as well.
- You don't need to do any planning but make sure you know how to do diversions.


Flight 5: IFR nav + VOR approach
- Similar to the VFR nav, no diversions though.
- Again, all the planning is done for you.
- So all you hv to do is fly what the flight plan says
- making sure you do all the procedures (climb checks, cruise checks, pre-descent checks etc)


Flight 6: ILS approach
- After take-off, you're radar vectored to intercept an ILS thats close by


Flight 7: Combo flight
- the last flight goes through everything you've done from flight 1-6.


good luck everyone!
