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

    retracted to avoid a stall. Common errors in the performance of slow flight are: 1. Failure to adequately clear the area 2. Inadequate back-elevator pressure as power is reduced, resulting in altitude loss 3. Excessive back-elevator pressure…

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

    ground for recovery should the airplane inadvertently stall. To begin the slow flight maneuver, the pilot should clear the area and gradually reduce thrust from cruise power and adjust the pitch to allow the airspeed to decrease while maintaining altitude…

  • Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Steep Spiral

    proceed after the establishment of a wings-level glide. Common errors when performing steep spirals are: 1. Not clearing the area 2. Inadequate pitch control on entry or rollout 3. Not correcting the bank angle to compensate for wind…

  • Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Maneuvering by Reference to Ground Objects

    should consider engine failure and have one or more locations available for an emergency landing. Pilots should always clear the area with two 90° clearing turns looking to the left and the right, as well as above and below ... pilot should complete the required checklist items, make any radio announcements (such as on a practice area frequency), and safety clearing turns. As a general note, a ground reference maneuver should not exceed a bank angle…

  • Chapter 3: The Learning Process › Domains of Learning › Cognitive Domain

    explain the procedure for entering a level, left turn to Beverly. The procedure includes several steps: (1) visually clear the area, (2) add a slight amount of power to maintain airspeed, (3) apply aileron control pressure to the left…

  • Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Chandelle

    airplane returned to straight-and-level cruise flight. Common errors when performing chandelles are: 1. Not clearing the area 2. Initial bank is too shallow resulting in a stall 3. Initial bank is too steep resulting in failure to gain…
