CHAPTER FOUR

TOWER: "ROKT 204, Roger."

NOTE

Do not interrupt the Landing Checklist to make the three down-

and-locked transmission.

If a touch and go is requested, on climb out, in the VFR pattern, the student will request

clearance to turn downwind from Tower.

STUDENT: "Tower, ROKT 204, downwind."

TOWER: "ROKT 204, right downwind approved."

NOTE

A separate Landing Checklist is required for every approach and/or

landing.

During rollout after a full stop landing, the student will report airspeeds and boards to the IP on

the ICS. These calls occur every 1000 feet until the aircraft has slowed to less than 60 KIAS.

STUDENT: "6 board, 80 knots; 5 Board 60 knots."

417. RADAR APPROACH (GCA)

On any instrument approach, it is the student's responsibility to inform the IP when it is

appropriate to transition to the landing configuration. During a precision or surveillance

approach (PAR/ASR), this occurs when the aircraft is within 10 NM of the field and 30 of

runway heading.

STUDENT (ICS): "Slow to gear speed."

The IP will ensure the gear and flaps are lowered as the aircraft decelerates through 165 KIAS.

The student will initiate the Landing Checklist after three down-and-locked is observed on the

landing gear indicator. On a radar approach (PAR or ASR), the speedbrakes will remain

retracted until the aircraft begins its final descent. The student will proceed through the entire

Landing Checklist but will not call the checklist complete until the speedbrakes are extended.
