  turn. After establishing the manufacturer’s recommended entry speed, VA, or VO, as applicable, the airplane should be smoothly rolled into a predetermined bank angle between 45° and 60°. As the bank angle is being established, generally prior ... keep in mind that as the AOA increases, so does drag, and additional power allows the airplane to maintain airspeed. After the selected bank angle has been reached, the pilot will find that considerable force is required…

  airspeed recommended by the manufacturer—in many cases this is the airplane’s design maneuvering speed (VA) or operating maneuvering speed (VO). [Figure 10-3A] After the appropriate entry airspeed has been established, the chandelle is started ... Once the bank angle is established, which is generally 30°, a climbing turn should be started by smoothly applying elevator back pressure at a constant rate while simultaneously increasing engine power to the recommended setting. In airplanes with a fixed…

It is important to be familiar with VA or VO, how it relates to accelerated stalls ... changes depending on the airplane's weight. VA is the maximum speed at which the positive design load limit can be imposed either by gusts or full one-sided deflection with one control surface without causing structural damage…

When this airspeed is attained, the nose is lowered to maintain the gliding speed and the controls trimmed ... wing flaps may be gradually lowered and the pitch attitude adjusted, as needed, to establish the proper descent angle. The base-to-final turn is planned and accomplished so that upon rolling out of the turn, the airplane is aligned…

Pilots often use the normal approach speed plus one-half of the wind gust factors in turbulent conditions. If the normal speed ... wind gusts are 15 knots, an increase of airspeed to 77 knots is appropriate. In any case, the airspeed and the flap setting should conform to airplane manufacturer's recommendations in the AFM/POH. Use an adequate amount…

In this case, the aircraft may become airborne initially with a deficiency of speed and then settle ... become airborne with a deficiency of speed. The manufacturer’s recommended takeoff speed is necessary to provide adequate initial climb performance. It is also important that a definite climb be established before a pilot retracts the landing gear or flaps…
