DFE1 Tail wheel aeroplane

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to safely operate an aeroplane fitted with tail wheel undercarriage.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               DFE1.1 – Taxi tail-wheel aeroplane
            1.        taxi a tail-wheel aeroplane in the prevailing aerodrome and surface conditions and weather;
            2.        operate engine on the ground and exercise propeller care;
            3.         perform brake checks;
            4.        perform flight instrument checks while taxiing;
            5.        maintain forward visibility;
            6.          maintain aeroplane within the taxiway limits;
            7.        anticipate and manage ground slope;
            8.        use minimum power to achieve desired performance and exercise propeller care;
            9.          adjust taxi speed to suit aeroplane type, surface conditions, congestion, maintain control and avoid collision with obstacles, and other aircraft;
           10.          interpret and comply with taxiway and other aerodrome markings or, in the absence of markings, the aircraft is maintained in the centre of the taxiway and at a safe distance from obstacles;
           11.         compensate for effects of wind velocity and high engine power using aircraft controls.
     2.               DFE1.2 – Take-off tail wheel aeroplane
            1.        perform pre-take-off checks correctly;
            2.        line up aircraft in the centre of the runway in take-off direction and completes line-up checks in accordance with approved checklist;
            3.         apply take-off power fully, maintain aircraft aligned with centre of runway and maintain wings level;
            4.        raise tail to achieve minimum drag, ensuring the propeller is clear of the surface;
            5.        control yaw;
            6.          rotate at manufacturer's recommended speed to achieve planned climb performance;
            7.        adjust heading to maintain track along extended runway centreline;
            8.        configure aircraft for nominated climb profile and track on runway centreline;
            9.          perform after take-off checks from memory;
           10.          perform take-off into wind and cross-wind take-off.
     3.               DFE1.3 – Land tail wheel aeroplane
