occur due to acceleration forces overpowering gravity. [Figure 17-6] These situations include uncoordinated turns, climbing turns, and turbulence. Demonstration of Spatial Disorientation There are a number of controlled aircraft maneuvers a pilot can perform to experiment with spatial disorientation ... While each maneuver normally creates a specific illusion, any false sensation is an effective demonstration of disorientation. Thus, even if there is no sensation during any of these maneuvers, the absence of sensation is still an effective demonstration because…

straight flight on the entry heading at VSSE or VYSE. The pilot increases power to the operating engine, and demonstrates controlled flight before restoring symmetrical power. To keep the foregoing description simple, there were several important background details that were ... covered. The rudder pressure during the demonstration can be quite high. During certification under historical 14 CFR part 23, section 23.149(e), 150 pounds of force was permitted. Most twins will run out of rudder travel long before 150 pounds…

recognize and recover from loss of directional control associated with the red radial indicated airspeed by performing a VMC demonstration. Since the object of a VMC demonstration is not performance, sideslip occurs during the maneuver. Detailed discussion on both ... certification. In reality, VMC varies with a variety of factors as outlined below. The VMC noted in practice and demonstration, or in actual OEI operation, could be less or even greater than the published value, depending on conditions and pilot…

Note that noise within the flight deck may mask the sound of the stall warning horn. While the VMC demonstration shows the earliest onset of a loss of directional control when performed in accordance with the foregoing procedures, avoid ... stalled condition. Avoid stalls with asymmetrical thrust, such that the VMC demonstration does not degrade into a single-engine stall. A VMC demonstration that is allowed to degrade into a single-engine stall with high asymmetrical thrust may result…

cause of an accelerated stall, it takes training to experience how these stalls develop and occur. The objectives of demonstrating an accelerated stall are to determine the stall characteristics of the airplane, experience stalls at speeds greater than ... such stalls. This is a maneuver only commercial pilot and flight instructor applicants may be required to perform or demonstrate on a practical test. However, all pilots should be familiar with the situations that can cause an accelerated stall…

engine cut had to be quickly lowered to regain the initial speed. Transitioning pilots should understand that attempting to demonstrate VMC with an engine cut from high power, or intentionally failing an engine at speeds less than VSSE creates ... high likelihood for loss of control and an accident. VMC Demo The actual demonstration of VMC and recovery in flight training more closely resembles static VMC determination in aircraft certification. For a demonstration that avoids the hazard of unintended contact…
