Completion Standards

The lesson will have been successfully completed when the pilot displays an increased proficiency in the operation of a complex airplane. During this and subsequent flights, the pilot will perform the preflight inspection, engine starting, taxiing, the before-takeoff check, and the postflight procedures without instructor assistance. The pilot will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the shortfield takeoffs and landings, power-off accuracy approaches and landings, slow flight, and stalls (including the proper recovery procedures).
