(Below) Breakaway: After flying along side for the photographs at the bottom of these pages a T.33 turns sharply away to return to Zweibriicken. and "limited panel"; high- and low-speed exercises at various altitudes and the "twizzle"—a timed turn during which a pre determined altitude must be gained. Candidates are put through 12 exercise flights graded in severity up to the final standard for the rating (green or white card) desired. The main differences between the Canadian syllabus and that of the R.A.F. stems from the greater number of navigational facilities carried in the T.33. Exercises are planned using radio compass, radio range and ground beacons; both cross-countries between England and Germany and a variety of position-fixing procedures are flown blind. Particular attention is paid to G.C.A. and let-downs on what might be termed "primary navigation panel," with no more than D.F. and G.C.A. No fewer than four distinct types of let-down are practised—QGH, single beacon, radio range, and cruising. .
