Configuration. Flaps, landing gear, and other configuring devices can affect an airplane’s stall speed. Extension of flaps and/or landing gear in flight will increase drag. Flap extension will generally increase the lifting ability of the wings, thus reducing ... lower airspeed limit of the white arc (power-off stall speed with gear and flaps in the landing configuration) is less than the lower airspeed limit of the green arc (power-off stall speed in the clean configuration…
- Chapter 8: Aviation Instructor Responsibilities and Professionalism › Evaluation of Learner Ability › Keeping the Learner Informed
Evaluation of Learner Ability Evaluation of a learner’s ability is an important element of instruction. Used in this context, evaluation refers to judging a learner’s ability to perform a maneuver or procedure. Demonstrated Ability Evaluation of demonstrated ability ... during flight or maintenance instruction is based upon established standards of performance, suitably modified to apply to the learner’s experience and stage of development as a pilot or mechanic. The evaluation considers the learner’s mastery of the elements…
- Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Slow Flight › Performing the Slow Flight Maneuver
speed approaches the target slow flight speed, which is an airspeed just above the stall warning in the desired configuration (i.e., approximately 5–10 knots above the stall speed for that flight condition), additional power will be needed to maintain ... control pressure is needed on the elevator, which will make precise control difficult. Slow flight is typically performed and evaluated in the landing configuration. Therefore, both the landing gear and the flaps should be extended to the landing position…

trying to clear an obstacle. Airplanes equipped with flaps or retractable landing gear should normally be in the takeoff configuration; however, power-on stalls should also be practiced with the airplane in a clean configuration (flaps and gear retracted ... ensure practice with all possible takeoff and climb configurations. When practicing takeoff stall recovery, the airplane should be at maximum power, although for some airplanes it may be reduced to a setting that will prevent an excessively high pitch attitude…
- Chapter 9: Techniques of Flight Instruction › Assessment of Piloting Ability › Postflight Evaluation
Postflight Evaluation In assessing piloting ability, it is important for the flight instructor to keep the learner informed of progress. This may be done as each procedure or maneuver is completed or summarized during postflight critiques. Postflight critiques should ... highly structured script of real-world experiences to address aviation training objectives in an operational environment. During the postflight evaluation, collaborative assessment is used to evaluate whether certain learning criteria were met during the SBT. Collaborative assessment includes learner self…

determined primarily by the aircraft's airspeed and attitude. Factors such as aircraft weight, center of gravity (CG), configuration, and the amount of acceleration used in a turn are also considered. The speed at which the critical angle ... Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) or the pilot’s operating handbook (POH) and pertain to certain conditions or aircraft configurations, e.g., landing configuration. Other specific operational speeds are calculated based upon the aircraft's stall speed in the landing configuration. Airspeed…
