After take off
1.) At 450 feet turn off fuel pump

4.) Straight and level at 1000 feet
5.) Check for traffic with full scan
6.) Turn left into downwind leg
7.) Radio Call
8.) Pre-Landing Checks
B = Check brakes for pressure, and ensure park break is off
U = Check undercarriage is down

Stalls

Things to pay attention to when practicing stalls.

(H)eight - over 3000 Feet AGL after recovery, aim for 3500 before commencing stall
(A)rea and (A)irframe - Do not practice over populated areas
(S)ecure - Loose articles and Check all harnesses and latches
(E)ngine - Check oil temperatures and pressures are in the green, T&Ps, Fuel Pump and Carb Heat on
(L)ookout - 360 degree turn for first stall, then 90 degree turns for all others.

Implications of pending stall

Buffeting of airframe
Stall Warning sound
Low Air Speed
High Angle of Attack

Stall Types

With and without power
Flaps On
Full Power

Tips:

Do not recover wing drop with ailerons, always use opposite rudder
Lower nose by reducing back pressure on control column
With power on stalls reduce power in stall otherwise increase in airspeed will occur, re-apply power when coming out of the stall.
