Thereafter, the pilot should gradually decrease the angle of bank until the airplane is headed directly upwind. As the upwind becomes a crosswind and then a downwind, the pilot should gradually steepen the bank to the steepest angle upon reaching ... initial point of entry. During the downwind half of the turn, the pilot should progressively adjust the airplane’s heading toward the inside of the turn. During the upwind half, the pilot should progressively adjust the airplane’s heading toward…

necessary just after each turn entry and just before the rollout from each turn where the airplane is headed downwind and the groundspeed is highest. The shallowest banks are when the airplane is headed directly upwind and the groundspeed ... diagonally from one turn to the other, the rollout from each turn needs to be completed on the proper heading with sufficient wind correction angle to ensure that after brief straight-and-level flight, the airplane arrives at the point…

following are the most common errors made while performing S-turns across a road: 1. Failure to adequately clear surrounding area for safety hazards, initially and throughout the maneuver. 2. Failure to establish a constant, level altitude prior to entering ... maneuver. 3. Failure to maintain altitude during the maneuver. 4. Failure to properly assess wind direction. 5. Failure to properly execute constant-radius turns. 6. Failure to manipulate the flight controls in a smooth and continuous manner when transitioning into…
- Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Rejected Takeoff/Engine Failure
Rejected Takeoff/Engine Failure Emergency or abnormal situations can occur during a takeoff that require a pilot to reject the takeoff while still on the runway. Circumstances such as a malfunctioning powerplant, inadequate acceleration, runway incursion, or air traffic conflict ... stop. In the event a takeoff is rejected, the power is reduced to idle and maximum braking applied while maintaining directional control. If it is necessary to shut down the engine due to a fire, the mixture control should…
- Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Engine Failure During Flight
Engine Failure During Flight Engine failures well above the ground are handled differently than those occurring at lower speeds and altitudes. Cruise airspeed allows better airplane control and altitude, which may permit time for a possible diagnosis and remedy ... failure. Maintaining airplane control, however, is still paramount. Airplanes have been lost at altitude due to apparent fixation on the engine problem to the detriment of flying the airplane. Not all engine failures or malfunctions are catastrophic in nature (catastrophic…

Section 4. Two-way Radio Communications Failure 6-4-1. Two-way Radio Communications Failure a. It is virtually impossible to provide regulations and procedures applicable to all possible situations associated with two-way radio communications failure. During ... radio communications failure, when confronted by a situation not covered in the regulation, pilots are expected to exercise good judgment in whatever action they elect to take. Should the situation so dictate they should not be reluctant…
