- Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Steep Turns
elevator back pressure, trim (if used), and power should be gradually reduced, as necessary, to maintain the altitude and airspeed. Common errors when performing steep turns are: 1. Not clearing the area 2. Inadequate pitch control on entry ... rollout 3. Gaining or losing altitude 4. Failure to maintain constant bank angle 5. Poor flight control coordination 6. Ineffective use of trim 7. Ineffective use of power 8. Inadequate airspeed control 9. Becoming disoriented 10. Performing by reference…

setting or for a change in thrust to meet a specific objective. ⦁ Trim control—used to relieve the control pressures held by the pilot on the flight controls after a desired attitude has been attained. Note: Yaw control is used…

lead the rollout by 15°. The rollout from a turn is similar to the roll-in except the flight controls are applied in the opposite direction. Aileron and rudder are applied in the direction of the rollout or toward ... maintain altitude. As the wings become level, the flight control pressures should be smoothly relaxed so that the controls are neutralized as the airplane returns to straight-and-level flight. If trim was used, such as during a steep turn…
- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Straight-and-Level Flight › Straight Flight
correct bank flight control movement requires the coordinated use of ailerons and rudder. Straight-and-level flight requires almost no application of flight control pressures if the airplane is properly trimmed and the air is smooth. For that reason…
- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Climbs and Climbing Turns › Establishing a Climb
counteract this, right rudder and aileron flight control pressures should be used. During the initial practice of climbs, this may initially seem awkward; however, after some experience the correction for propeller effects becomes instinctive. As the airspeed decreases during ... establishment, the airplane’s pitch attitude tends to lower unless the pilot increases the elevator flight control pressure. Nose-up elevator trim should be used so that the pitch attitude can be maintained without the pilot holding back elevator pressure…
- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Trim Control
control surfaces are required to offset any constant flight control pressure inputs provided by the pilot. For example, elevator trim is a typical trim in light GA airplanes and is used to null the pressure exerted by the pilot ... pilot to divert attention to other tasks. Figure 3-9. Elevator trim is used in airplanes to null the pressure exerted by the pilot on the pitch flight control. Because of their relatively low power, speed, and cost constraints…
