TP 14277

This item on the RPP flight test is not to be used as an emergency procedure and the scenario used by the examiner should not indicate such conditions to the candidate.

You will assign a suitable landing area, and the candidate will confirm the selected site as being suitable for landing or not (inspection).

The aim of this item is to carry out the procedures for a safe landing in a suitable area. Provided that the procedure used is organized, logical and the aircraft configuration is as recommended in the Pilot Operating Handbook, you should not be adversely influenced by a procedure that varies from your own. When a suitable aerodrome is available, candidates should be asked to demonstrate a short or soft field landing (Exercise 18) in order to evaluate them on this item, along with the precautionary approach.
