        29.    Descending 
	     
	      (i)   For the engine assisted descemt reduce to
	            11-1200 r.p.m. speed 66 m.p.h. (58 knots).
	      
	      (ii)  During turns maintain the same power, but
                    lower the nose sufficiently to maintain AT
                    LEAST the same airspeed.

	      (iii) For gliding without engine the same speed 66
	            m.p.h. (58 knots) is to be used.
	      
	      (iv)  For gliding turns the speed should be increased
                    (by lowering the nose) up to as far as 70 m.p.h.
                    (60 knots), depending on the steepness of the
                    turn.

        30.   Low Flying 

	      (i)   Use the same power setting as for cruising,

	      (ii)  Power should be increased when turning.

        31.  Approach and Landing

	      On the down wind leg the following pre-landing
        vital action drill is to be carried out:-
	      
	          Fuel:		Sufficient for another circuit
	          Mixture:	Fully rich
	          Slots:	Unlocked

	      The airspeed recommended for gliding and engine
	 assisted approaches is 66 m.p.h. (58 knots).

        32.   Precautionary Approach and Landing 

	      The correct speed for the final approachis 55 m.p.h.
        (48 knots) and this spreed should be assumed at 250 ft.

        33.   Mislanding (Going Round Again) 

	      The initial climbing speed is 70 m.p.h. (60 knots).
        This is to be maintained until the engine is throttled
        back to climbing power at 2-300 ft.   The climbing
        speed of 66 m.p.h. (58 knots) should be assumed.
