training

Programme
• Training organisations develop TA training as it applies to their area
• Expand on syllabus requirements of low flying
• Incorporate increased level of experience & understanding regarding interaction with terrain & associated weather

Stage 1 Operating in a simulated confined space
• Aim:– Initially simple exercise exploring pilot’s & aircraft
capability to operate in a confined area
• Exercise:– Define a simulated confined area– Obstacle free– Clearly defined boundaries– Flat paddock 500m X 500m

Continuing Exercise
• Using ‘clean’ & ‘Poor Visibility’ configurations– Fly boundaries–Use all available space–Use minimum angle of bank–Commence with larger area–Reduce to desired confined size

Principles
• Develop awareness of space & inertia• Use all available space• Minimise bank angle therefore Vs• Use only required power• Safe speed between Va & Vs appropriate
to conditions & loading (clean etc )• Develop weather awareness, esp wind

Stage II Operating in a confined space
• Aim:– Apply technique & skill used in Stage I– Use actual area confined by terrain– Develop further awareness of space & inertia
• Exercise:– Relocate to suitable valley or gully– Repeat Stage I exercise– Ensure terrain above – less defined horizon

Principles
• Identify useable imaginary horizon by visualising where sky meets the sea as if terrain or obstacle to the visual horizon were transparent
• Use this horizon line to reference nose attitude– In S & L flight– In level turning flight

Continuing Principles
• Appropriately position the aircraft to– Execute level 180° and 360° turns–Use all available space–Minimize bank angle–Only sufficient power to maintain safe
speed between Va & Vs appropriate to conditions and loading

Stage III Crossing ridges, saddles or passes
• Aim:– Safely cross ridges, saddles or passes–Apply appropriate decision making–Determine safest compromise of options &
principles
11

Continue Saddle Crossing
• Exercise: – Use ridges into valley in Stage II... Or other ridge– Assess appropriate flight path for approach,
crossing, & after crossing – Apply safest compromise of options & principles
involved– Experience where possible merits of L to R, R to L
and re-crossing where safely possible

Continue Saddle Crossing
• Principles:–Apply sound decision making–Assess approach, the crossing, & flight path
after–Have escape routes available –Minimize commitment period

Summary & Recommendations
• High mountains not required to establish basic principles
• Stage I possible in most LFA’s• Alternative – 500’ above suitable defined area• Stage II & III – area safely enables turning
exercises and saddle/ridge crossings• Logbook signed – competence & minimum
experience met

Desirable: student experiences the exercises
• In clean & poor visibility configurations• In both calm & windy conditions
(<15knots)• In clear conditions & with some
precipitation • With 180° & 360° turns both ways
