Objectives

To teach the requirements for, and the proper use, of carburettor heat, alternate air, mixture controls, cowl flaps, heating, defrosting, ventilation and any other ancillary controls applicable to the aeroplane type.

Motivation

Many ancillary controls may be new to the student; therefore, detailed training is required.  Proper use of certain controls is necessary for safe and optimum use of the aeroplane.  Misuse could lead to an actual in-flight emergency.

The majority of the following terms are used in this instructor guide.  Others may be encountered in flying various aeroplane types.

Applicable Speeds

V_A — Manoeuvring Speed - the maximum speed at which the application of full available aerodynamic control will not overstress the aeroplane.

V_F — Design Flap Speed - the maximum speed at which wing flaps may be actuated.

This section should be used in cross-reference with the Flight Test Guide.  Exercise numbers correspond to those in the Guide.  Generally, preparatory ground instruction and, subsequent pre-flight briefing should be given before in-flight training.

Each exercise has been divided into five sections:
