  1. Teaching Takeoffs and Initial Climbs

  2. Ask a student pilot what they think is the most dangerous part of any flight, and their answer most likely will be: The ___________?

  3. What the statistics show… * 2010 Nall Report

  4. Shown another way… Combining T.O./I.C. with Go-around = 35.8%

  5. It’s not getting any better… * 2010 Nall Report

  6. “GA Takeoff Accidents average about one a day” 2010 2009 2008 2007

  7. WHO?

  8. WHAT? * 2010 Nall Report

  9. WHY?

  10. Where does teaching takeoffs fit in your syllabus? Do you include scenarios when teaching takeoffs?

  11. Do you teach to the test? or Do you teach beyond the test?

  12. The TEST!

  13. “1. Exhibits knowledge of the elements…” What are the “elements” that YOU teach/test?

  14. What about: Do you teach or test briefing takeoff procedures and actions in the event of engine failure during and after rotation? HOW?

  15. What about: Do you teach or test aborting the takeoff if performance parameters are not met? HOW?

  16. What about: What do you teach or test about the timing of retraction of gear and flaps?

  17. What about: How do you teach or test proper directional control and wind-drift Correction? What tools do you use?

  18. What about: What are your thoughts or feelings about the when or how usage of checklists?

  19. What about: Do you teach applying appropriate safety margins when calculating takeoff & initial climb performance, crosswind components, and appropriate safety margins for an engine failure?

  20. What about: How do you teach or test confirming the wind direction before taking the runway?

  21. What about: Do you discuss voluntary noise abatement procedures with your clients?

  22. What about: Short and/or soft field takeoffs? What are the special considerations that you emphasize?

  23. In summary: • Takeoffs & initial climb-out are the most dangerous part of a flight! • The rule of primacy is immutable!

  24. In summary: • It is important to teach a conservative approach in calculating T.O. / I.C. performance! • It is much better to be down here wishing we were up there, than up there, wishing we were down here!
