S3 Control glider in normal flight

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to control a glider while performing normal flight manoeuvres.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               S3.1 – Climb glider
            1.        operate and monitor all aircraft systems when commencing, during, and completing a climbing flight manoeuvre;
            2.        for the following climbing manoeuvres select attitude and configuration as required for the flight path, balance and trim the aeroplane accurately, apply smooth, coordinated control inputs to achieve the required flight tolerances as applicable to the normal climb manoeuvre.
     2.               S3.2 – Maintain straight flight
            1.        operate and monitor all aircraft systems during straight flight manoeuvres;
            2.        for the following straight manoeuvres selects attitude and configuration as required for the flight path, balance and trim the glider accurately, apply smooth, coordinated control inputs to achieve the required flight tolerances as applicable to the manoeuvre:
                   1.          at slow speed;
                   2.         at normal cruise;
                   3.       at high-speed;
                   4.       at maximum range;
