  • CHAPTER 3. FLIGHT TRAINING: SPINS › 300. SPIN TRAINING › a. Spin training must be accomplished in an aircraft that is approved for spins

    Spin training must be accomplished in an aircraft that is approved for spins. Before practicing intentional spins, the AFM or POH should be consulted for the proper entry and recovery techniques. b. The training should begin by practicing both power ... power-off stalls to familiarize the applicant with the aircraft's stall characteristics. Spin avoidance, incipient spins, actual spin entry, spin, and spin recovery techniques should be practiced from an altitude above 3,500 feet AGL. c. Spin avoidance training…

  • Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Slow Flight

    further increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or reduction in power, will result in a stall warning (e.g., aircraft buffet, stall horn, etc.), and pilots should react to and correct for any stall indication. Note that stall ... upon the knowledge and skill acquired from the slow flight maneuver and encompasses the period of time from the stall warning (e.g., aircraft buffet, stall horn, etc.) to the stall. The objective of maneuvering in slow flight is to develop…

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

    CHAPTER 2. FLIGHT TRAINING: STALLS 200. STALL TRAINING. Flight instructor-airplane and flight instructor-glider applicants must be able to give stall training. The flight instructor should emphasize that techniques and procedures for each aircraft may differ and that pilots ... should be aware of the flight characteristics of each aircraft flown. The most effective training method contained in Report No. FAA-RD-77-26, General Aviation Pilot Stall Awareness Study, is the simulation of scenarios that can lead to inadvertent…

  • CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS › 100. STALL/SPIN EFFECTS AND DEFINITIONS

    CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS 100. STALL/SPIN EFFECTS AND DEFINITIONS. A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the airplane’s wing is disrupted, and the lift degenerates rapidly. This is caused when the wing exceeds ... attack (AOA). This can occur at any airspeed, in any attitude, with any power setting. If recovery from a stall is not achieved in a timely and appropriate manner by reducing the AOA, a secondary stall and/or a spin…

  • Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Straight-and-Level Flight

    Level Flight All of the principal components of flight performance involve steady-state flight conditions and equilibrium of the aircraft. For the aircraft to remain in steady, level flight, equilibrium must be obtained by a lift equal to the aircraft ... weight and a powerplant thrust equal to the aircraft drag. Thus, the aircraft drag defines the thrust required to maintain steady, level flight. As presented in Chapter 4, Aerodynamics of Flight, all parts of an aircraft contribute to the drag…

  • Chapter 1: Introduction to Flight Training › Safety Considerations › Stall Awareness

    understand that there are several flight maneuvers that may produce an increase in the wing’s AOA, but the stall does not occur until the AOA becomes excessive. This critical AOA varies from 16°–20° depending on the airplane design ... Figure 1-15] Figure 1-14. All student pilots receive and log flight training in stalls and stall recoveries prior to their first solo flight. Figure 1-15. Stalls occur when the airfoil's angle of attack reaches the critical…
