  Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Lazy Eight

  ground reference maneuver, S-turns across the road. Recall that S-turns across the road are made of opposing 180° turns. For example, first a 180° turn to the right, followed immediately by a 180° turn to the left ... lazy eight adds both a climb and descent to each 180° segment. The first 90° is a climb; the second 90° is a descent. [Figure 10-4] Figure 10-4. Lazy eight. The previous description of a lazy eight…

  pilot continues the descent below the pivotal altitude, the projected visual reference line with respect to the pylon will begin to move forward. The altitude at which the visual reference line ceases to move across the ground is the pivotal ... altitude. If the airplane descends below the pivotal altitude, the pilot should increase power to maintain airspeed while regaining altitude to the point at which the projected reference line moves neither backward nor forward but actually pivots on the pylon…

  Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Altimeter Operation

  altimeter indicates an altitude above the actual field elevation. If the barometric pressure setting is reset to the current altimeter setting of 29.68 "Hg, then the field elevation is again indicated on the altimeter. This pressure change ... easily noticed in flight since aircraft fly at specific altitudes. The aircraft steadily decreases true altitude while the altimeter is held constant through pilot action as discussed in the previous section. Knowing the aircraft’s altitude is vitally important…

When operating at flight altitudes above 10,000 feet, the certificate holder shall provide enough oxygen for each crewmember for the entire flight at those ... altitudes and not less than a two-hour supply for each flight crewmember on flight deck duty.

  Figure 7-10. Pitch correction, less than 100 feet—one-half bar low to correct altitude error. When using the VSI as a rate instrument and combining it with the altimeter and attitude indicator to maintain level flight, a pilot ... should know that the amount the altimeter needle moves from the desired altitude governs the rate that should be used to return to that altitude. A rule of thumb is to make an attitude change that results in a vertical…
