9.8 Airplane Flight Training Supplement
Flight training on Aeroprakt-32 airplane foresees 5 hours of flying in accordance with the
normal flight procedures, described in Pilot Operating Handbook (POH).
It covers the following:
1. Preflight preparation including determining the takeoff mass and airplane CG position,
preflight check and preflight servicing of the airplane.
2. Airfield traffic and flight to the training area.
3. Airfield circuit flight.
4. Balked landing.
5. Low speed flight, recognizing the starting and ongoing stall and stall recovery.
6. High speed flight, recognizing and recovery from steep diving spiral.
7. Short field takeoff and landing with overflying obstacles.
8. Crosswind takeoff and landing.
9. Flights with imitated engine failure.
9.8.1 Preflight preparation
Preflight preparation includes preflight check and determining the takeoff mass and CG
position of the airplane. It shall be done in accordance with the sections
every flight.
9.8.2 Airfield traffic and flight to the training area
To adapt to the airplane controllability and flight characteristics a flight (its elements are
described in the POH) shall be performed that includes the following:
a) Level flight at various airspeeds and engine power settings.
Elevator trim tab shall be used for trimming the airplane in pitch.
b) Climb at various airspeeds and full power of the engine.
Elevator trim tab shall be used for trimming the airplane in pitch.
c) Descending at various airspeeds, flap settings and minimum engine power.
Elevator trim tab shall be used for trimming the airplane in pitch.
d) Turns to the left and to the right at various speeds and bank angles.
Total flight time
– 40 minutes. Number of flights – 2. Number of landings – 2.
9.8.3 Airfield circuit flight
Airfield circuit flight shall be performed for familiarization with the main flight elements, as
well as takeoff and landing. It consists of the following:
1. Before starting the engine, the door locks shall be checked along with the harness belts,
elevator trim tab lever, parking brake and carburetor heating knob; flaps shall be set to
1st position, choke lever shall be moved forward (if the engine is cold), then the master
switch and radio shall be turned on. Fuel level and position of the fuel valves (at least
one must be open) shall be checked. Radio communication shall be checked, ignition
switches set to ON and engine started. After engine begins to run smoothly the choke
lever shall be moved back (if it was used). After engine is warmed to the required
temperature ignition system check shall be done. Before taxiing the parking brake must
be set to OFF.
