•	Perform approach and landing. Allow student to follow loosely on the controls.
7.	Post-flight procedures
•	Guide student through performance of post-flight procedures using the appropriate checklists (shut down and securing of the airplane).
8.	Post-lesson debriefing
•	Encourage student to ask questions.
•	Explain logbook entries.
•	Preview next lesson and assign reading material.
