  lowering the airplane’s nose to get a good look out toward the horizon is important for managing flight safety. Shallow banked turns in both directions of 10° to 20° also allow for clearing. Because flight control pressures tend ... sense that the engine is turning too fast; however, remember that the engine has gear-reduction drive and the propeller is turning much slower.
