  • Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Soft/Rough-Field Takeoff and Climb

    Common errors in the performance of short-field takeoffs and maximum performance climbs are: ⦁ Failure to review AFM/POH and performance charts prior to takeoff. ⦁ Failure to adequately clear the area. ⦁ Failure to utilize all available runway/takeoff area. ⦁ Failure to have ... with excessive forward-elevator pressure. ⦁ Inadequate rotation resulting in excessive speed after lift-off. ⦁ Inability to attain/maintain VX. ⦁ Fixation on the airspeed indicator during initial climb. ⦁ Premature retraction of landing gear and/or wing flaps. Soft/Rough-Field Takeoff and Climb Takeoffs…

    power is reduced, resulting in altitude loss 3. Excessive back-elevator pressure as power is reduced, resulting in a climb followed by rapid reduction in airspeed 4. Insufficient right rudder to compensate for left yaw 5. Fixation on the flight ... instruments 6. Failure to anticipate changes in AOA as flaps are extended or retracted 7. Inadequate power management 8. Inability to adequately divide attention between airplane control and orientation 9. Failure to properly trim the airplane 10. Failure to respond…

  • Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Climbs and Climbing Turns

    turn while seated. 6. Insufficient feel for the airplane as evidenced by the inability to detect slips or skids without flight instruments. 7. Attempting to maintain a constant bank angle by referencing only the airplane’s nose. 8. Making skidding ... direction of turn. 10. Gaining proficiency in turns in only one direction. 11. Failure to coordinate the controls. Climbs and Climbing Turns When an airplane enters a climb, excess lift needs to be developed to overcome the weight or gravity…

  • Chapter 18: Emergency Procedures › Inadvertent VFR Flight Into IMC › Turns

    turns, climbs, and descents can and should be made at this airspeed. Straight flight is maintained by keeping the wings level using “fingertip pressure” on the control wheel. Any pitch attitude change should be made by using no more than ... tendency of the pilot to over-control, leading to steep banks and the possibility of a “graveyard spiral.” ⦁ The inability of the pilot to cope with the instability resulting from the turn. When a turn is to be made…

  • Chapter 17: Aeromedical Factors › Visual Illusions › Demonstration of Spatial Disorientation

    many false sensations can 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 ... sensation during any of these maneuvers, the absence of sensation is still an effective demonstration because it illustrates the inability to detect bank or roll. Skid, slip, and uncoordinated turns feel similar. Pilots feel they are being forced sideways…
