Pilot Training In order to introduce the student pilot to the essentials of control of the Legend 600 aircraft and put the technical training required of a pilot to practical use in developing his overall skills, a structured approach to training is required.
Page 45
Serial Number 1646 guide, as required under the LSA regulations. This training requires constant reference to the aircraft’s Pilot Operating Handbook (P.O.H), the aircraft Maintenance Manual and other material available from the trainee’s Instructor and in general terms would proceed according to the steps below.
Page 46
Serial Number 1646 The instructor shows proper performance of turns at small bank angle to the student. The student tries to perform turns properly, finishing them at indicated bearing. At the same time, the student strives to maintain even flight speed and to keep slip indicator ball in center position throughout the turn.
Page 47
Serial Number 1646 Conditions for passing: The student is able to correct improper approach, high leveling out, ballooning, and rebound on his own. 4.8 Lesson 8: Safety landing practice Training methodology: The instructor practices approach to suitably selected area, with engine operating. The instructor assesses student’s selection of area for landing, and performance of the maneuver by the student.
Page 48
Serial Number 1646 observes and assesses the flight from ground. If no obvious piloting errors are observed, the instructor will allow the other two flights forming this Lesson. Two-way radio communication between the instructor and the student is recommended. 4.13 Lesson 14: Check traffic pattern flight Training methodology: Having passed the three solo flights forming the previous Lesson, the instructor with the student fly a check flight, during which the instructor checks student’s piloting skills and habits.

Serial Number 1646 4.20 Lesson 21: 100km navigation flight Flight level is 1000ft / 300m AGL, minimum visibility 8km, without chance of storms and/or rain showers. A Solo triangular navigation flight with landing at different airfield is planned with a minimum flight distance 100 km, minimum flight time 1hr.
