A written flight preparation is expected, incl. Center of gravity calculation for the UL including pilot and co-pilot involved, luggage and required fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Navigation is always based on a map and compass.

On the flight home, bad weather can also be simulated and you have to find another point without much flight preparation. Here the examiner wants to see whether the future pilot is able to develop spontaneous plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Once you have found the point, the last section of the SPL test flight involves flying exercises:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Curves<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Steep curves<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Emergency procedure<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Rolling exercise<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">The &#8220;target landing&#8221; part is usually flown with the engine running at idle from 2,000 ft AGL at the home airfield.
