TP 14277

Use a speed that corresponds to 1.3 Vso at gross weight or VMC+10 knots, whichever is greater.

While this item is to be conducted at a SAFE ALTITUDE, the intent is to assess the candidate’s ability to manoeuvre the aeroplane and extend gear and flaps while maintaining airspeed in the approach speed range. Acceptable performance of this item would be important when executing a circling approach at MDA during an IFR flight.
