b

Orientation, map reading

c

Altitude, speed, heading control, lookout

d

Altimeter setting. ATC liaison — compliance, R/T procedures

e

Monitoring of flight progress, flight log, fuel usage, assessment of track error and re-establishment of correct tracking

f

Observation of weather conditions, assessment of trends, diversion planning

g

Tracking, positioning (NDB or VOR), identification of facilities (instrument flight). Implementation of diversion plan to alternate aerodrome (visual flight)

SECTION 4 — APPROACH AND LANDING PROCEDURES

a

Arrival procedures, altimeter setting, checks, lookout

b

g

Landing without use of flaps

h

Post-flight actions

SECTION 5 — ABNORMAL AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

This section may be combined with sections 1 through 4

a
