c. Special considerations while teaching takeoffs and landings
Managing risk during flight instruction, including: c. Special considerations while teaching takeoffs and landings
Bottom line
The instructor should conduct the majority of their teaching, such as airspeeds, pitch attitudes, visual references, flight control inputs, and engine parameters, before contacting tower or announcing intentions on the CTAF at a non-towered airport. Aircraft speed and control take precedence over other actions during landings and takeoffs.
