  • Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Assessment of Piloting Ability › Practice Landings

    first third of the runway to ensure stopping before the end of the runway. This means teaching learners to go-around if they do not touch down within that distance. Instructors should also stress the need for a go-around ... opportunity to stop the flight if necessary. When instructing in a glider (other than a motor glider), a go-around will not be possible. Instructors should teach learners to make low energy landings based on current weather and wind conditions…
