  turn or does not complete the turn as the wings come level to the horizon. Figure 10-3. Chandelle. Prior to starting the chandelle, the flaps and landing gear (if retractable) should be in the UP position. The chandelle ... operating maneuvering speed (VO). [Figure 10-3A] After the appropriate entry airspeed has been established, the chandelle is started by smoothly entering a coordinated turn to the desired angle of bank. Once the bank angle is established, which…

  during these maneuvers. Generally, the better the maneuver is performed, the less extreme the load factor induced. A chandelle or lazy eight in which the pull-up produces a load factor greater than 2 Gs will not result ... altitude. The smoothest pull-up possible, with a moderate load factor, delivers the greatest gain in altitude in a chandelle and results in a better overall performance in both chandelles and lazy eights. The recommended entry speed for these maneuvers…
