- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Steep Turns
During training in steep turns, as in any other maneuver, attend to the most important tasks first. Keep the pitch attitude relatively constant, and more time can be devoted to cross-check and instrument interpretation. During recovery from steep turns ... released and power decreased. The common errors associated with steep turns are the same as those discussed later in this section. Remember, errors are more exaggerated, more difficult to correct, and more difficult to analyze unless rates of entry…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Pitch › Common Errors in Straight-and-Level Flight
Common Errors in Straight-and-Level Flight Pitch errors usually result from the following faults: 1. Improper adjustment of the attitude indicator’s miniature aircraft to the wings-level attitude. Following the initial level off from a climb, check ... heading indicator must be stabilized with airspeed indication at normal cruise before pulling out the caging knob to obtain correct indications in straight-and-level flight at normal cruise airspeed. 4. Failure to interpret the attitude indicator in terms…

horizon and the terms “decreasing the pitch attitude” or “decrease pitch attitude” means lowering the nose in relation to the natural horizon. The pilot’s primary reference is the natural horizon. For all practical purposes, the airplane’s airspeed remains ... such as spoilers. Exposure to the effect of the various configurations should be covered in any specific airplane checkout. Common Errors A common error of a beginner pilot is attempting to hold the wings level by only observing the airplane…

especially during changes in power settings. 6. Anticipating heading changes with premature application of rudder pressure. 7. Failure to correct small heading deviations. Unless zero error in heading is the goal, a pilot will tolerate larger and larger deviations. Correction ... degree error takes far less time and concentration than correction of a 20° error. 8. Correcting with improper bank attitude. If correcting a 10° heading error with a 20° bank correction, the aircraft will roll past the desired heading before…
