  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…

  Chapter 10: Weight and Balance › Control › Management of Weight and Balance Control

  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 10: Weight and Balance › Determining Loaded Weight and CG › Weight Shifting

  Shifting, Adding, and Removing Weight A pilot must be able to solve any problems accurately that involve the shift, addition, or removal of weight. For example, the pilot may load the aircraft within the allowable takeoff weight limit, then find ... location will correct an out-of-limit condition. There are some standardized calculations that can help make these determinations. Weight Shifting When weight is shifted from one location to another, the total weight of the aircraft is unchanged. The total…

  Chapter 10: Weight and Balance › Effects of Weight

  Longer landing roll • Excessive weight on the nose wheel or tail wheel The pilot must be knowledgeable about the effect of weight on the performance of the particular aircraft being flown. Preflight planning should include a check of performance charts ... determine if the aircraft’s weight may contribute to hazardous flight operations. Excessive weight in itself reduces the safety margins available to the pilot and becomes even more hazardous when other performance-reducing factors are combined with excess weight…

  center or pilot school curriculum, the FAA-approved procedures for that operator and/or training center/pilot school take precedence. V-Speeds The following are speeds that affect the jet airplane’s takeoff performance. The jet airplane pilot should understand ... these speeds when planning for takeoff. ⦁ VS —stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable. ⦁ V1 —critical engine failure speed or takeoff decision speed. It is the speed at which the pilot is to continue…

  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…
