Category C Instructor Notes:
|
- Following release by their AFF Instructors,
AFF students who have not received turn training
in Category B may encounter heading drift. These students should
be taught to recognize a heading change, consider it acceptable,
and to correct it using the "altitude, arch, legs, relax"
procedure.
- Students who were taught turn technique in Category B may add
"correct turn" at the end
of that sequence, placing emphasis on the other four, more important
points. Relaxed stability must first be established for proper,
relaxed control.
- The instructor should advance students only according to the
recommended progression
during the rudimentary skills training in Categories A-D. Repetition
of fewer basic skills improves success later.
