INTRODUCTION
This book contains the Standard Operating Procedures covering the VFR operation of C150/C152. The
book is a integral part of the way to handle an aircraft during VFR conditions. Its not possible to cover all
eventualities and there for good airmanship and common sense is expected of the crew. The speeds and
procedures in this part must be preferred above the AOM/POH. No marks are made to indicate changes on
the previous issue due to the amount of changes.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
The SOPs in this chapter have a direct relation to the execution of a safe flight. They shall be known
thoroughly and used throughout the rest of your career as a pilot. Basically these SOPs inform the student
about the margins within which to operate, and step-by-step how to execute different flight manoeuvres in a
standard way.
Using SOPs greatly enhances the safety of flight, especially in non-standard circumstances.
1.3
AIRMANSHIP
Definition: All facets that allow the pilot to control the airplane at any time during the flight in accordance
with regulations in a safe way, on the ground as well as in the air.
During the ground school all different facets that compose airmanship will be illustrated. Safety is a very
important part in the mind of every conscientious airline pilot. Adherence to rules and regulations is only the
first part to incorporate "airmanship" into your existence.
1.4
CECKLIST ISSUES
Pay attention to the fact that this SOP document might have another issue number than mentioned on the
valid checklists. For the valid checklist issues refer to the document control list of SAA.

ENGINE FAILURE AFTER TAKE-OFF
Prompt lowering of the nose to maintain airspeed and establish
a glide attitude is the first response to an engine failure after
take-off. In most cases, the landing should be planned straight
ahead with only small changes in direction to avoid
obstructions. Altitude and airspeed are seldom sufficient to
execute a 180 gliding turn necessary to return to the runway.

Disorientation in clouds
In the event of a vacuum system failure during flight in marginal weather, the directional gyro and gyro
horizon will be disabled, and the pilot will have to rely on the turn coordinator or the turn and bank indicator
if he inadvertently flies into clouds.
The following instructions assume that only the electrically-powered turn coordinator or the turn and bank
indicator is operative, and that the pilot is not completely proficient in partial panel instrument flying.
EXECUTING A 180 TURN IN CLOUDS
Upon entering the clouds, an immediate plan should be made to
turn back as follows:
Time ..................................... NOTE MINUTES AND SECONDS
Note the time of the minute hand and observe the position
of the sweep second hand on the clock
Turn ............................. 60 SECONDS RATE-ONE LEFT TURN
When the sweep second hand indicates the nearest halfminute, initiate a standard rate left turn, holding the turn
coordinator symbolic aircraft wing opposite the lower left
index mark for 60 seconds. Then roll back to level flight by
levelling the miniature aircraft.
Compass Heading ......................................................... CHECK
Check accuracy of the turn by observing the compass
heading which should be the reciprocal of the original
heading
Heading ............................................. ADJUST IF NECESSARY
If necessary, adjust heading primarily with skidding
motions rather than rolling motions so that the compass
will read more accurately
Altitude and Airspeed ................................................ MAINTAIN
Maintain altitude and airspeed by cautious application of
elevator control. Avoid over-controlling by keeping the
hands off the control wheel and steering only with rudder.
EMERGENCY LET-DOWNS THROUGH CLOUDS

If possible, obtain radio clearance for an emergency descent
through clouds. To guard against a spiral dive, choose an
easterly or westerly heading to minimize compass card swings
due to changing bank angles. In addition, keep hands off the
control wheel and steer a straight course with rudder control by
monitoring the turn coordinator. Occasionally check the
compass heading and make minor corrections to hold an
approximate course. Before descending into the cloud , set up a
stabilized let-down condition as follows:

Electrical power supply system malfunctions

Malfunctions in the electrical power supply system can be detected by periodic monitoring of the ammeter
and over-voltage warning light; however, the cause of these malfunctions is usually difficult to determine.
Broken or loose alternator wiring is most likely the cause of alternator failures, although other factors could
cause the problem. A damaged or improperly adjusted voltage regulator can also cause malfunctions.
Problems of this nature constitute an electrical emergency and should be dealt with immediately.
Electrical power malfunctions usually fall into two categories: excessive rate of charge and insufficient rate
of charge. The paragraphs below describe the recommended remedy for each situation.
EXCESSIVE RATE OF CHARGE
After engine starting and heavy electrical usage at low engine
speeds (such as extended taxiing) the battery condition will be
low enough to accept above normal charging during the initial
part of a flight. However, after thirty minutes of cruising flight,
the ammeter should be indicating less than two needle widths of
charging current. If the charging rate were to remain above this
value on a long flight, the battery would overheat and evaporate
the electrolyte at an excessive rate. Electronic components in
the electrical system could be adversely affected by higher than
normal voltage if a faulty voltage regulator setting is causing the
overcharging. To preclude these possibilities, an over-voltage
sensor will automatically shut down the alternator and the overvoltage warning light will illuminate if the charge voltage
reaches approximately 16 volts. Assuming that the malfunction
was only momentary, an attempt should be made to reactivate

Master Switch (both sides)............................................... OFF
Master Switch (both sides)................................................ ON
If the problem no longer exists, normal alternator charging will
resume and the warning light will go off.
IF THE OVER VOLTAGE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON
AGAIN A MALFUNCTION IS CONFIRMED
IN THIS EVENT PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
The flight should be terminated and/or the current drain on
the battery minimized because the battery can supply the
electrical system for only a limited period of time.
If the emergency occurs at night, power must be conserved
for later use of the landing light and flaps during landing
INSUFFICIENT RATE OF CHARGE

If the ammeter indicates a continuous discharge rate in flight,
the alternator is not supplying power to the system and should
be shut down Since the alternator field circuit may be placing an
unnecessary load on the system.

EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT)
Forced Landing
Before performing a forced landing activate the ELT transmitter
manually by turning the ELT remote switch in the circuit breaker
panel to the 'ON'-position.
Immediately after a forced landing, perform the following
procedure:
NOTE:
The ELT Remote Switch and Control Panel Indicator could
be inoperative in the event of a forced landing. If
inoperative, the inertia G switch will activate
automatically.
However, to turn the ELT OFF and ON will require manual
switching of the main control switch located on the ELT unit.
1. ELT Remote Switch....................................VERIFY ON
Switch the ELT Remote Switch ON even if the red

LED annunciator is flashing.
If airplane radio operable and can be safety used (no

threat of fire or explosion), turn radio ON and select
121.5 MHz. If the ELT can be heard transmitting, it is
working properly.
2. Battery Power.............................................CONSERVE
Do not use radio transceiver until rescue aircraft is

sighted.
After sighting rescue aircraft:
3. ELT Remote Switch.......................... ARM POSITION
TO PREVENT RADIO INTERFERENCE.
Attempt contact with rescue aircraft with the radio

transceiver set to a frequency of 121.5 MHz. If no contact
is established, switch the panel mounted switch to the
'ON'-position immediately.
Portable Use of ELT
The ELT transmitter can be removed from the airplane and
used as a personal locating device if it is necessary to leave the
airplane after an accident. Access the unit as described below
and set the ELT transmitter control switch to the 'ON'-position.
1. Remove tail bay access panel along the aft portion of the
RH fuselage or the lower aft center access panel of
baggage compartment.
2. Disconnect fixed antenna lead from front of unit.
3. Disconnect lead from remote switch and indicator unit.
4. Disconnect antenna from mounting tray.
5. Loosen attach straps and remove transmitter unit.
6. Attach antenna to antenna jack on front of unit.
7. Set main control switch to ON.
8. Hold antenna upright as much as possible.

LANDING WITH ONE FLAT TIRE
Expect the airplane to swing off on the flat tire side
Flaps......................................................... LOWER NORMALLY
Land ........................................................................... NOSE UP
Land ................................................................. WING BANKED
TO HOLD THE FLAT TIRE OFF THE GROUND AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE.
At touchdown, directional control can be maintained with
rudder and the brake on the good wheel.
LANDING WITHOUT PITCH CONTROL
Trim for horizontal flight (with an indicated airspeed of
approximately 55kias and flaps lowered to 20) by using
throttle and elevator trim controls.
Then,
do not change the elevator trim control setting.
Control the glide angle by adjusting power exclusively.
At flare-out, the nose-down moment resulting from power
reduction is an adverse factor and the aircraft may hit on the
nose wheel.
Consequently, at flare-out, the control should be set at the full
nose-up position and the power adjusted so that the aircraft will
rotate to the horizontal attitude for touchdown. Close the
throttle at touchdown.
