CHAPTER SIX

OLF Pattern Procedures:

Complete the Before Landing Checklist (if not already completed).

NOTE

Once established in the pattern, using greater than 30 AOB is not

recommended. Do not exceed 45 AOB.

Abeam the intended point of landing (ABEAM position), begin the 4Ts:

TRANSITION: Reduce power to 15% and lower flaps to desired position.

NOTE

Unless otherwise specified by the IP, select flaps to the takeoff

position.

TRIM: Trim for deceleration and flap deployment.

NOTE

Airspeeds in the approach turn for no-flap, takeoff, and landing

flaps are 120/115/110 KIAS, respectively. Speeds on final will be

110/105/100 KIAS. Never fly slower than the AOA on-speed

indication (amber donut) in the pattern. While operating at or near

maximum allowable gross weight, the AOA on-speed indication

may in rare instances be faster than the defined pattern speeds.

At the 180 position,

TURN: On airspeed, initiate descending turn, utilizing AOB as required to fly to the 90

position. Pitch attitude should be approximately 2/3 ground and 1/3 sky.

TALK: "Call Sign, 180, gear down and locked."

NOTE

Pattern interval will be established in the break or crosswind turn.

Do not delay the 180 or vary the approach turn ground track. If

aircraft spacing is insufficient, waveoff from the final turn.

Fly to the 90 position, perpendicular to the runway and on airspeed. The altitude at the

90 is 400 feet AGL (or 1/2 the pattern altitude in feet AGL). Report over the ICS, "Gear down,

flaps ___, checklist complete."
