 Only land at airports listed in the Eagle Aircraft attachment 7.
 Not takeoff or land on runways less than 2,000 feet long, or the sum of the
computed aircraft takeoff and landing roll, whichever is greater
 Not takeoff or land on runways less than 50 feet wide

accomplishing requirements directed by an approved syllabus of instruction
 Not perform simulated forced landings without an instructor
 Not descend below 500 feet AGL unless the aircraft is established on a stabilized

 Carry any hazardous cargo
 Attempt to takeoff if they have made an off-airport landing
 Attempt to takeoff if they have made a precautionary landing for a suspected
aircraft malfunction
 Conduct contact approaches
 Hand prop any aircraft
 Perform intentional in-flight engine shutdowns
4.8.2 The PIC shall occupy the left front seat in side-by-side aircraft or the front seat in
tandem aircraft, except when:
