• Practice slow flight, including flight at Minimum Controllable Airspeed (MCA), in different configurations.

• Practice short-field and soft-field takeoffs and landings.



SYNOPSIS

During the Seminar your instructors will be working closely with you to produce a precise determination of performance characteristics unique to your aircraft. They will assist you in creating a performance data chart of your aircraft's "numbers" to be used for enroute, approach, and departure operations in mountain and canyon areas to help you maximize precision, control, performance and safety.
