  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Spin Awareness and Stalls › Accelerated Approach to Stall

    high angles of attack and low rudder effectiveness due to low airspeeds, this reinforces the primary step of first lowering the AOA, which allows all control surfaces to become more effective and allows for roll to be better controlled. Thrust ... airplane manufacturer’s recommended airspeed, the specified design maneuvering speed (VA), or operating maneuvering speed (VO). The pilot should select an entry altitude that will allow completion of the maneuver no lower than 3,000 feet AGL. The entry method…

  • CHAPTER 2. FLIGHT TRAINING: STALLS › 200. STALL TRAINING

    slow flight and other maneuvers with distractions that can lead to inadvertent stalls, should be conducted at a sufficient altitude to enable recovery above 1,500 feet AGL in single-engine airplanes and 3,000 feet AGL in multiengine airplanes ... stalls should not be demonstrated or practiced in multiengine airplanes. Airplanes with normally aspirated engines will lose power as altitude increases because of the reduced density of the air entering the induction system of the engines. This loss of power…

  • Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Stall Training

    flight scenarios in which a stall could occur. Stall accidents usually result from an inadvertent stall at a low altitude, with the recovery not completed prior to ground contact. For example, power-on stalls are practiced to develop the pilot ... failed, or if low on the approach to landing. As in all maneuvers that involve significant changes in altitude or direction, the pilot should ensure that the area is clear of other air traffic at and below their altitude…

  • CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS › 103. STALL RECOGNITION

    noted, initiation of a recovery should be instinctive (unless a full stall is being practiced intentionally from an altitude that allows recovery at least 1,500 feet above ground level (AGL) for single-engine airplanes and 3,000 feet AGL ... aircraft. These preliminary indications serve as a warning to the pilot to increase airspeed by adding power, lowering the nose, and/or decreasing the angle of bank…

  • 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…

Thus, transitioning to a higher altitude at a constant speed (1-to-2) requires increased throttle and up-elevator to stay on speed, while transitioning to a faster airspeed ... constant altitude (1-to-3) demands increased throttle and (gradual) down-elevator to stay on path, re-trimming as needed to relieve elevator control pressures. Transitioning to a lower altitude at a constant speed (1-to-4) requires decreased throttle…
