  Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Slow Flight

  Slow Flight Flying at reduced airspeeds is normal in the takeoff/departure and approach/landing phases of flight. While pilots typically perform these operations at low airspeeds and close to the ground, pilots learn to maneuver an airplane in slow flight ... safe altitude. During slow flight, any further increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or reduction in power, will result in a stall warning (e.g., aircraft buffet, stall horn, etc.), and pilots should react to and correct…

  this maneuver in other configurations, such as a clean or takeoff configuration, is also good training and may be evaluated on the practical test. With an AOA just under the AOA which may cause an aerodynamic buffet or stall warning ... flight controls are less effective. [Figure 5-7] The elevator control is less responsive and larger control movements are necessary to retain control of the airplane. In propeller-driven airplanes, torque, slipstream effect, and P-factor may produce a strong…

  cases, practicing slow flight should be conducted at an adequate height above the ground for recovery should the airplane inadvertently stall. To begin the slow flight maneuver, the pilot should clear the area and gradually reduce thrust from cruise power ... airplane decreases, there is a change in the sound of the airflow. As the speed approaches the target slow flight speed, which is an airspeed just above the stall warning in the desired configuration (i.e., approximately 5–10 knots above…

  Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Integrated Flight Instruction

  pilot’s attention should be devoted to outside visual references and scanning for airborne traffic. The process of visually evaluating pitch and bank attitude comes from a continuous stream of attitude information. When the pilot perceives that the attitude ... other than desired, the pilot should make precise, smooth, and accurate flight control corrections to return the airplane to the desired attitude. Continuous visual checks of the outside references and immediate corrections made by the pilot minimize the chance…

  Chapter 1: Introduction to Flight Training › Safety Considerations › Stall Awareness

  student pilot should fully understand that there are several flight maneuvers that may produce an increase in the wing’s AOA, but the stall does not occur until the AOA becomes excessive. This critical AOA varies from 16°–20° depending ... airplane design. [Figure 1-15] Figure 1-14. All student pilots receive and log flight training in stalls and stall recoveries prior to their first solo flight. Figure 1-15. Stalls occur when the airfoil's angle of attack reaches…

Application for certification is voluntary and the school must meet stringent requirements for personnel, equipment ... course outline (TCO) approved by the FAA. The certificated schools may qualify for a ground school rating and a flight school rating. In addition, the school may be authorized to give its graduates practical (flight) tests and knowledge (computer administered…
