  Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Steep Spiral

  useful during an emergency landing. A steep spiral is a gliding turn wherein the pilot maintains a constant radius around a surface-based reference point—similar to the turns around a point maneuver, but in this case the airplane…

  correction angle to ensure that after brief straight-and-level flight, the airplane arrives at the point where a turn of the same radius can be made around the other pylon. The straight-and-level flight segments should be tangent ... throughout the maneuver. 2. Poor selection of ground references. 3. Failure to establish a constant, level altitude prior to entering the maneuver. 4. Failure to maintain adequate altitude control during the maneuver. 5. Failure to properly assess wind direction…

  ground reference points about which the airplane turns first in one direction and then the opposite direction—like a figure eight. Eights maneuvers are designed for the following purposes: ⦁ Further development of the pilot’s skill in maintaining a specific ... manipulate flight controls to adjust the bank angle during turns to correct for groundspeed changes in order to maintain constant-radius turns and proper ground track between ground references.

  Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Drift and Ground Track Control › Constant Radius During Turning Flight

  given true airspeed, the radius of turn in the air varies proportionally with the bank angle. To maintain a constant radius over the ground, the bank angle used is proportional to groundspeed. For example, an airplane is in the downwind ... angle, the turn radius over the ground at that moment is approximately 890 feet. As the airplane turns, the groundspeed decreases and the bank angle needs to be reduced in order to maintain the same turn radius of 890 feet…

  with accurate timing. Turns Around a Point Turns around a point are a logical extension of both the rectangular course and S-turns across a road. The maneuver is a 360° constant radius turn around a single ground-based reference ... hazards and instrument indications. ⦁ Adjusting the bank angle during turns to correct for groundspeed changes in order to maintain a constant radius turn—steeper bank angles for higher ground speeds, shallow bank angles for slower groundspeeds…
