                   2.         perform pre- and after-take-off, line-up and after-landing checks;
                   3.       line up aeroplane to use maximum runway length;
                   4.       apply take-off power fully before brakes (where fitted) are released and rotate aeroplane at manufacturer's recommended speed;
                   5.         set nominated climb speed appropriate to obstacle clearance requirements;
            2.        for short landing, demonstrate the following;
                   1.          calculate landing performance;
                   2.         land the aeroplane at the nominated touchdown point at minimum speed and apply maximum braking;
                   3.       touchdown simultaneously on main wheels and tail wheel;
                   4.       control the direction of the aeroplane on the ground;
