| (a) Proper application of power | T |    |
| (b) Direction held during takeoff | T |    |
| (c) Proper takeoff air speed and altitude | T |  |

2. STRAIGHT AWAY CLIMB: (Directional Gyro & Horizon covered) 
| (a) Direction | T |   |
| (b) Airspeed | T |   |
| (c) Angle of Climb | T |  |
COMMENTS: __________________________________________________________

3. SPIRAL CLIMB 120 MPH: (Directional Gyro & Horizon covered) 
| (a) Constant bank (Standard Turn) |  T  |    |
| (b) Constant speed | T |  |
COMMENTS: __________________________________________________________

4. MANEUVERS: (All Instruments in Operation) 
| (a) Stalls | T |  |
| (b) Steep Banks, using|  Right:      | T |   |

5. ORIENTATION AND INITIAL APPROACH 
| (a) Knowledge of Loop method used |  |  |
| (b) Accuracy of execution | T |  | [[there is a shallow crescent line from the most recent T over the line above and then back down into the next column on the same line]]
| (c) Accuracy of identifying position | T |   |
| (d) General Orientation technique | T |   |
| (e) Homing to Station on initial approach | T |   |
| (f) Maintaining proper altitude on initial approach | T |  |

COMMENTS: You did not follow protocols as outlined in manual -- these steps are very important and you must memorize them.
When homing to the station make sure you pull off to one side at least 20º so that you can see using the pull and verify which side of the station you passed by using the pointer & don't try to get a move on the loop...
