  Chapter 10: Performance Maneuvers › Lazy Eight

  ground reference maneuver, S-turns across the road. Recall that S-turns across the road are made of opposing 180° turns. For example, first a 180° turn to the right, followed immediately by a 180° turn to the left ... lazy eight adds both a climb and descent to each 180° segment. The first 90° is a climb; the second 90° is a descent. [Figure 10-4] Figure 10-4. Lazy eight. The previous description of a lazy eight…

  Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Altimeter Operation

  altimeter indicates an altitude above the actual field elevation. If the barometric pressure setting is reset to the current altimeter setting of 29.68 "Hg, then the field elevation is again indicated on the altimeter. This pressure change ... easily noticed in flight since aircraft fly at specific altitudes. The aircraft steadily decreases true altitude while the altimeter is held constant through pilot action as discussed in the previous section. Knowing the aircraft’s altitude is vitally important…

  Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Elementary Eights › Eights on Pylons

  Figure 7-12. Speed versus pivotal altitude. Distance from the pylon affects the angle of bank. At any altitude above that pivotal altitude, the projected reference line appears to move rearward in a circular path in relation to the pylon ... Conversely, when the airplane is below the pivotal altitude, the projected reference line appears to move forward in a circular path. [Figure 7-13] To demonstrate this, the pilot will fly at maneuvering speed and at an altitude below…

  Chapter 3: Arrivals › Descending From the En Route Altitude

  Descending From the En Route Altitude Making the transition from cruise flight to the beginning of an instrument approach procedure sometimes requires arriving at a given waypoint at an assigned altitude. When this requirement is prescribed by a published arrival ... restriction. Even when ATC allows a descent at the pilot’s discretion, aircrews need to choose a waypoint and altitude for positioning convenient to start the approach. In either case, descending from a cruising altitude to a given waypoint…
