balanced level turns at low level may appear to slip or skid when turning downwind or into wind.
3.5.6              Given level flight stall speed, determine the stall speed and load factor during turns at 45 and 60 degrees bank.

3.6.1              Describe:
(a)           the symptoms when approaching the stall; and
(b)           the characteristics of a stall.
3.6.2              Explain:
(a)           the effect of using ailerons when approaching and during the stall; and
(b)           why an aeroplane may stall at different speeds.
3.6.3              State the effect (increase/decrease/nil) of the following variables on the level flight stall IAS:
(a)           power;
(b)           flap;
(c)           wind shear vertical gusts;
(d)           manoeuvres;

(g)           altitude.
3.6.4              Describe the aerodynamic principles of stall recovery.
3.6.5              Describe manoeuvres during which an aeroplane may stall at an angle which appears to be different to the true stalling angle.
3.6.6              Differentiate between a spin and a spiral dive in a light aeroplane and describe the standard recovery technique from each.
3.7                    Taxi, take-off, landing
3.7.1              Describe situations which may cause an aeroplane to 'wheel barrow' and state the recommended pilot action in the event of such an occurrence.
3.7.2              Describe the effect of a cross-wind on high- and low-wing aeroplanes during taxi, take-off and landing.
3.7.3              List the advantages of taking-off and landing into wind.
3.7.4              Compare a flapless approach to an approach with flap in terms of:
(a)           attitude during descent; and
(b)           approach path angle; and
(c)           threshold and touchdown speeds; and
(d)           landing roll.
3.7.5              Describe the effect of wind shear (wind gradient) and ground effect on aerodynamic and flight characteristics and identify.
3.8                    Structural damage
3.8.1              Describe the effect of structural damage, including bird strikes, with emphasis on:
