Emergency Situations, loss of flaps, engine
We first did a few landings without flaps, here we put 1600rpm at the on the runway on downwind, our approach was therefore from a lower position and we used throttle to control height, as well as lifting the nose to maintain speed. While doing the aerodrome circuit, at certain times the instructor would inadvertently turn off the engine. It was now time to decide what to do regarding making it either back to the runway, finding a place where to make an emergency landing (a park taking off, near the shore of the lake). Flaps were used if we were too high, and we were sure to drop the nose at the beginning in decent to have speed. Remember first fly the plane then worry about the rest.
