     2.               S6.2 – Perform forced landing (simulated)
            1.        after a simulated emergency has occurred, without prior indications, carry out the following:
                   1.          perform immediate actions;
                   2.         select most suitable landing area within gliding distance;
                   3.       formulate a plan;
                   4.       perform all emergency procedures;
                   5.         establish optimal gliding flight path to a landing on the selected landing area.
     3.               S6.5 – Manage other abnormal situations (simulated)
            1.        correctly identify the situation and maintain safe control of the aeroplane at all times;
            2.        abnormal and emergency situations are managed in accordance with relevant emergency procedures and regulatory requirements;
            3.         appropriate emergency procedures are followed while maintaining control of the aeroplane;
            4.        identify and conduct flight with an unreliable airspeed indication.
     4.               S6.6 – Recover from unusual flight attitudes
            1.        identify nose-high or nose-low unusual attitude flight condition;
            2.        recover from nose-low or nose-high unusual attitudes by adjusting pitch and bank to resume controlled and balanced flight;
            3.         apply controlled corrective action while maintaining aircraft performance within limits.

S7 Navigation – gliders

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to conduct a cross-country flight in a glider using visual references and dead reckoning.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               S7.1 – Conduct cross-country flight
            1.        prepare for a cross-country flight that terminates at the departure aerodrome;
            2.        maintain a navigation cycle that ensures accurate tracking and apply track correctional technique to re-establish track prior to waypoint or destination;
            3.         maintain heading to achieve a nominated track;
            4.        maintain and revises ETAs (±2 minutes) for waypoint or destination;
            5.        navigate en route using dead reckining;
            6.          navigate using accepted map reading techniques;
            7.        maintain navigation log to monitor tracking and ETAs;
            8.        use appropriate technique obtains a positive fix at suitable intervals;
            9.          maintain awareness of route and destination weather and reacts appropriately to changing weather conditions;
