  Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Chandelle

  traffic and hazards. The maneuver should be entered from straight-and-level flight or a shallow dive at an airspeed recommended by the manufacturer—in many cases this is the airplane’s design maneuvering speed (VA) or operating maneuvering speed ... 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 is generally 30°, a climbing…

  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Pilot Sensations in Jet Flying

  effective slipstream over the lifting and control surfaces, and the lack of propeller torque effect. Even though moving the power levers has less effect at low power settings, the pilot should change power settings smoothly. To slow the airplane ... transitioning pilot may also need to learn when to use available drag devices appropriately. Transitioning pilots should learn power setting management for different situations. Power settings for desired performance vary because of significant changes in airplane weight as fuel…

  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Power-Off Accuracy Approaches

  accomplish this, it is essential that both the descent angle and the airspeed be accurately controlled. Unlike a normal approach when the power setting is variable, on a power-off approach the power is fixed at the idle setting. Pitch ... attitude is adjusted to control the airspeed. This also changes the glide or descent angle. If an airplane is on approach with an airspeed higher than best glide, pitching down will increase the airspeed and steepen the descent angle, while…

  Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Full Stalls, Power-On

  purpose of reducing the airspeed to lift-off airspeed before the throttle is advanced to the recommended setting is to avoid an excessively steep nose-up attitude for a long period before the airplane stalls. After establishing the climb attitude ... pressure to maintain coordinated flight while holding the attitude until the full stall occurs. In most airplanes, as the airspeed decreases the pilot should move the elevator control progressively further back while simultaneously adding right rudder and maintaining the climb…

  pilot decides to put all the surplus energy into altitude, the airplane can climb at a constant airspeed. [Figure 4-1A] If the pilot opts to place all the surplus energy into airspeed, the airplane can accelerate while maintaining ... stored energy to tap into. For example, the pilot may choose to let the airplane descend at a constant airspeed [Figure 4-1C)] or slow down while maintaining altitude [Figure 4-1D] as stored energy is withdrawn…

  Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Normal Takeoff › Initial Climb

  requires much quicker pilot response in the event of a powerplant failure to preclude a stall. Since the power on the initial climb is set at the takeoff power setting, the airspeed should be controlled by making slight pitch adjustments ... using the elevators. However, the pilot should not fixate on the airspeed indicator when making these pitch changes, but should continue to scan outside to adjust the airplane’s attitude in relation to the horizon. In accordance with the principles…
