operate and monitor all aircraft systems during descending flight manoeuvres;
            2.        for the following descending manoeuvres select 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.          glide;
                   2.         approach configuration descent (flap and gear).
     4.               S3.4 – Turn glider
         1.         The person must be able to demonstrate her or his ability to do the following:
                1.        operate and monitor all aircraft systems during turning flight manoeuvres;
                2.        for the following turning 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 manoeuvre:
                       1.          level turns;
                       2.         climbing turn;
                       3.       descending turn.
     5.               S3.5 – Control glider at slow speeds
            1.        operate and monitor all aircraft systems when operating the glider at slow speed;
            2.        for the following climbing manoeuvres select, 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.          minimum approach speed with flaps retracted;
                   2.         minimum approach speed in approach configuration;
                   3.       observe visual stall warnings and recover aeroplane to controlled flight;
                   4.       recognise and respond positively to reduced effectiveness of controls during slow flight manoeuvres;
                   5.         transition from slow speed configuration to achieve nominated speed in excess of 1.5 VS.
     6.               S3.6 – Perform circuits and approaches
            1.        operate and monitor all aircraft systems when operating the glider in the circuit;
            2.        perform a circuit pattern (4 legs) by balancing, trimming the aeroplane accurately while applying smooth, coordinated control inputs to achieve the required flight tolerances specified for the relevant flight path flown during traffic pattern manoeuvres as follows:
                   1.          establish and maintain cross-wind leg tracking 90° to the runway;
                   2.         establish and maintain downwind leg tracking parallel to and at a specified distance from the runway at circuit height;
                   3.       establish base leg tracking 90° to the runway at a specified distance from the runway threshold;
            3.         establish the approach and landing configuration appropriate for the runway and meteorological conditions as required for the following:
                   1.          commence and control approach descent path;
                   2.         adjust descent commencement point to take account of extended downwind leg or traffic adjustments;
                   3.       align and maintain aircraft on final approach flight path with specified or appropriate runway;
                   4.       set and maintain approach configuration;
                   5.         identify and maintain aiming point;
                   6.       maintain a stabilised approach angle at the nominated airspeed to the round-out height;
                   7.      verify existing wind conditions, make proper correction for drift, and
