Demonstrate precise airplane control in slow flight situations including maneuvering and stalls. (VI) 7. Respond to simulated emergencies including engine failures with proper procedures while maintaining precise airplane control. (VII) 8. Demonstrate precise airplane and airspeed control during normal, cross-wind, maximum performance landings and go-around situations. (VIII) | |||
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work.
