- Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Steep Spiral
Figure 10-2. Steep spiral. The steep spiral is initiated by properly clearing the airspace for air traffic and hazards. In general, the throttle is closed to idle, carburetor heat is applied if equipped, and gliding speed is established. Once ... proper airspeed is attained, the pitch should be lowered and the airplane rolled to the desired bank angle as the reference point is reached. The pilot should consider the distance from the reference point since that establishes the turning radius…

throttle provides thrust, which may be used for airspeed control and to vary the radius of the turn. ⦁ The pilot uses the rudder to offset any adverse yaw developed by wing’s differential lift and the engine/propeller. The rudder does ... turn the airplane. The rudder is used to maintain coordinated flight. For purposes of this discussion, turns are divided into three classes: shallow, medium, and steep. ⦁ Shallow turns—bank angle is approximately 20° or less. This shallow bank is such…
- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Straight-and-Level Flight
high level of skill results when the pilot perceives outside references, takes mental snap shots of the flight instruments, and makes effective, timely, and proportional corrections from unintentional slight turns, descents, and climbs. Straight-and-level flight is a matter ... consciously fixing the relationship of a reference point on the airplane in relation to the natural horizon. [Figure 3-6] The establishment of these reference points should be initiated on the ground as they depend on the pilot’s seating…
- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Level Turns › Establishing a Turn
steeper turns, additional power may be required to maintain airspeed. If altitude is not being maintained during the turn, the pitch attitude should be corrected in relation to the natural horizon and cross-checked with the flight instruments to verify ... performance. Steep turns require accurate, smooth, and timely flight control inputs. Minor corrections for pitch attitude are accomplished with proportional elevator back pressure while the bank angle is held constant with the ailerons. However, during steep turns…
