  Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Steep Turns

  higher load factors, steep turns should be performed at an airspeed that does not exceed the airplane’s design maneuvering speed (VA) or operating maneuvering speed (VO). Maximum turning performance for a given speed is accomplished when an airplane ... flight without exceeding the airplane’s structural limitations or stalling. As the load factor increases, so does the stalling speed. For example, if an airplane stalls in level flight at 50 knots, it will stall at 60 knots…

  Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Introduction

  Introduction Basic flight maneuvers taught to pilots include: straight-and-level, turns, climbs, and descents. As training advances, other performance maneuvers serve to further develop piloting skills. Performance maneuvers enhance a pilot’s proficiency in flight control application, maneuver planning ... situational awareness, and division of attention. To further that intent, performance maneuver design allows for the application of flight control pressures, attitudes, airspeeds, and orientations that constantly change throughout the maneuver. Deficiencies during execution of performance maneuvers often occur when…

  that configuration. Accelerated stalls should be performed with a bank of approximately 45°, and in no case at a speed greater than the airplane manufacturer’s recommended airspeed, or the specified design maneuvering speed (VA) or operating maneuvering speed ... important to be familiar with VA or VO, how it relates to accelerated stalls, and how it changes depending on the airplane's weight. VA is the maximum speed at which the positive design load limit can be imposed either…

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

  ensure that a pending situation, such as decreasing oil pressure, does not turn into an unexpected incident. Ground reference maneuvers place the airplane in a low altitude environment with associated hazards. Pilots should look for other aircraft, including helicopters ... clearing turns looking to the left and the right, as well as above and below the airplane. The maneuver area should not cause disturbances and be well away from any open air assembly of persons, congested areas of a city…

  These limits include the weight and balance of the aircraft. To enable pilots to make weight and balance computations, charts and graphs are provided in the approved AFM. Weight and balance control should be a matter of concern ... pilots. The pilot controls loading and fuel management (the two variable factors that can change both total weight and CG location) of a particular aircraft. The aircraft owner or operator should make certain that up-to-date information is available…

  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Load Factors › Load Factors and Stalling Speeds

  Load Factors and Stalling Speeds Any aircraft, within the limits of its structure, may be stalled at any airspeed. When a sufficiently high AOA is imposed, the smooth flow of air over an airfoil breaks up and separates, producing ... abrupt change of flight characteristics and a sudden loss of lift, which results in a stall. A study of this effect has revealed that an aircraft’s stalling speed increases in proportion to the square root of the load factor…
