Completion Standards

The lesson will have been successfully completed when the pilot demonstrates an increased knowledge of the complex airplane systems and flight characteristics. Additionally, the pilot will demonstrate a good understanding of the correct procedures in all of the listed tasks. The pilot will be able to maintain the desired altitude, ±100 ft.; airspeed, ±10 kt.; and heading, ±10°. During takeoffs and landings, the pilot will be able to maintain VY, ±5 kt.; VX, +5/–0 kt.; and the recommended approach airspeed (with gust factors applied), ±5 kt.
