that will prevent an excessively high pitch attitude. To set up the entry for power-on stalls, the pilot establishes the airplane in the takeoff or climb configuration and slows the airplane to normal lift-off speed while continuing ... speed, the pilot sets takeoff power or the recommended climb power for the power-on stall (often referred to as a departure stall) while establishing a climb attitude. The purpose of reducing the airspeed to lift-off airspeed before…

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…

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…

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descend at a constant airspeed [Figure 4-1C)] or slow down while maintaining altitude [Figure 4-1D] as stored energy is withdrawn…

pilot should use the manufacturer's recommended airspeed or 1.3 VSO if there is no manufacturer's recommendation. As the pitch attitude and airspeed stabilize, the airplane is re-trimmed to relieve any control pressure. The descent angle is controlled ... descent angle remains constant in a steady state wind condition. The pilot controls these forces by adjusting the airspeed, attitude, power, and drag (flaps or forward slip). However, wind may affect the gliding distance over the ground [Figure…
