1. Ensure area is clear of aircraft and obstructions and a clear area designated for
emergencies is declared.
2. Must be at pattern altitude – VPZ – 1,800' MSL
3. Reference point(s) should be verbally pointed out by both the student and instructor.
4. Must enter downwind and maximum bank angle of 30 degrees.
5. Can be broken off at any time by either student or instructor, or when traffic or other
event comes into the flight during the maneuver.
6. Can be performed in both directions (Left and Right turns).
Rectangular Course
1. Ensure area is clear of aircraft and obstructions and a clear area designated for
emergencies is declared.
2. Must be at pattern altitude – VPZ – 1,800' MSL
3. Reference point(s) should be verbally pointed out by both the student and instructor.
4. Must enter downwind and maximum bank angle of 30 degrees.
5. Can be broken off at any time by either student or instructor, or when traffic or other

Emergency Procedures (simulated) – Confined area landing
1. Refer to the Cessna Instructor Guide for guidance on how to conduct this situation.
2. Prior to instructor simulating this scenario, instructor shall provide an area where the
student has to make a choice of where to land the aircraft with a reasonable amount of
time and altitude.
3. Instructor will put hand on throttle and announce "Simulated Engine Failure".
4. While the student is establishing best glide speed and starting their immediate
memory items, the student should be looking for a suitable landing area that is free
from obstructions and people.
5. Student should refer to the emergency checklist if time permits.
6. Instructor will monitor the progress of the flight and will discontinue the flight before
reaching 500' AGL in a rural area only. No actual off airport landings are
permitted.
7. As the aircraft is descending, the instructor will occasionally clear the engine by
revving up the engine periodically to ensure the engine stays running.
8. If flaps are used, they will not be retracted until power is applied first.
9. Once student is proficient at off airport landings, instructor should bring the student
back to the airport to practice simulated power off landings within the traffic pattern.
10. When performing this at an airport, the student should aim for a landing on the 1,000'
markers. Once flaps are applied, they cannot be retracted until go-around power is
applied first.
