18. Landings Per Stage. The following is the recommended minimum
number of landings per stage, with corresponding recommended
average landings per sortie. A flight should not be incomplete
if a student does not meet the recommended average landings per
sortie for a given event. Commanding Officers are authorized to
schedule warmup flights in order to meet recommended stage
minimums, if student performance so warrants. However, students
are required to have 109 landings minimum prior to FCLP-05X, and
250 landings minimum prior to CQ-04. Landings are defined as
full flap/slat, left-hand pattern (FCLP type).
