  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…

  Chapter 4: Energy Management: Mastering Altitude and Airspeed Control › Review of Terms and Definitions › Energy Distribution Error

  Energy Error An altitude and/or airspeed deviation from an intended target expressed in terms of energy. Depending on the airplane’s total amount of energy and its distribution between altitude and airspeed, energy errors are classified as total energy errors ... energy distribution errors, or a combination of both errors. Total Energy Error An energy error where the total amount of mechanical energy is not correct. The airplane has too much or too little total energy relative to the intended altitude…

  type. • Indicated airspeed (IAS)—the direct instrument reading obtained from the ASI, uncorrected for variations in atmospheric density, installation error, or instrument error. Manufacturers use this airspeed as the basis for determining aircraft performance. Takeoff, landing, and stall speeds listed ... normally vary with altitude or temperature. Figure 8-7.

  Chapter 3: The Learning Process › Kinds of Errors › Slip

  Errors Errors are a natural part of human performance. Beginners, as well as the most highly skilled experts, are vulnerable to error, and this is perhaps the most important thing to understand about error. To believe people can eliminate errors ... from their performance is to commit the biggest error of all. Instructors and learners alike should be prepared for occasional errors by learning about common kinds of errors, how errors can be minimized, how to learn from errors…

  Managing Energy Errors In addition to learning effective techniques for maintaining stabilized path-speed profiles (e.g., tracking the glideslope) and transitioning from one profile to another during flight (e.g., leveling off from a descent), pilots should develop skills for managing ... inflight “energy crises” start as undetected, ignored or poorly managed path-speed deviations, pilots need the skills to recognize, correct and prevent these deviations. Although the intention is to correct altitude and airspeed deviations, the pilot is always acting…

  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…
