Synopsis

AN SMA FLT INSTRUCTOR RPTED 2 INCIDENTS ON THE SAME FLT: FLYING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF A BLOCK ALT WITHOUT CLRNC; AND MAKING A 'TOUCH AND GO' WITH A 'LNDG' CLRNC.

Narrative

DURING 1 FLT; 2 DEVS OCCURRED. 1) WHILE VFR IN THE W PRACTICE AREA OF LNK; I WAS AN INSTRUCTOR FOR A STUDENT WORKING ON HER PRIVATE LICENSE. THERE WERE SOME SCATTERED CLOUDS AT APPROX 5500 MSL. I RECEIVED AN IFR CLRNC BLOCK 4000-6000 TO MANEUVER NEAR OUR PRESENT POS. INTRODUCING THE STUDENT TO INST SCANNING AND BASIC IMC PROCS FOR APPROX 10 MINS; WE DSNDED BELOW THE CLOUDS TO VMC. THE NEXT BLOCK OF TRAINING WAS TO PRACTICE EMER PROCS AND I SURPRISED MY STUDENT BY SIMULATING AN ENG FAILURE. AT 3200 FT MSL (LNK APCH) ATC CALLED TO REMIND ME OF MY IFR 4000-6000 CLRNC. I PROMPTLY CANCELLED AND CONTINUED ON WITH THE FLT. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE I WAS IN THE HABIT OF BEING VFR WHEN IN THE PRACTICE AREA. APPROX 20 MINS LATER WE ADVISED LNK APCH THAT WE WERE INBOUND FOR TOUCH-AND- GOES. 2) LNK APCH PASSED US OVER TO TWR (BUT NOT OUR REQUEST FOR TOUCH-AND-GOES) AND THE TWR CLRED US TO LAND. MY STUDENT WAS PLANNING ON A TOUCH-AND-GO; AND AFTER LNDG; APPLIED FULL PWR. BY THIS TIME; RWY DISTANCE WAS VERY QUESTIONABLE AND I ELECTED TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE TOUCH-AND-GO. MY STUDENT IGNORED THE TWR'S CLRNC AND I WAS NOT WATCHING HER CLOSELY ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE SITUATION.
