  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: Performance Maneuvers › Lazy Eight

  Poor flight control coordination 10. Stalling at any point during the maneuver 11. Execution of a steep turn instead of a climbing maneuver 12. Not scanning for other traffic during the maneuver 13. Performing by reference to the flight instruments ... rather than visual references Performance maneuvers are used to develop a pilot’s skills in coordinating the flight control’s use and effect while enhancing the pilot’s ability to divide attention across the various demands of flight. Performance maneuvers…

  Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Upset Prevention and Recovery › Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT)

  Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) Upsets are not intentional flight maneuvers, except in maneuver-based training; therefore, they are often unexpected. The reaction of an inexperienced or inadequately trained pilot to an unexpected abnormal flight attitude is usually instinctive ... effort, which is without purpose and even hazardous in turbulent conditions, at excessive speeds, or at low altitudes. Without proper upset recovery training on interpretation and airplane control, the pilot can quickly aggravate an abnormal flight attitude into a potentially…

  Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Clearing Procedures

  Clearing Procedures The following procedures and considerations are in place to assist pilots in collision avoidance under various situations: • Before takeoff—prior to taxiing onto a runway or landing area in preparation for takeoff, pilots should scan the approach area ... possible landing traffic, executing appropriate maneuvers to provide a clear view of the approach areas. • Climbs and descents—during climbs and descents in flight conditions that permit visual detection of other traffic, pilots should execute gentle banks left and right…

  Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Incipient Phase

  Entry Phase In the entry phase, the pilot intentionally or accidentally provides the necessary elements for the spin. The entry procedure for demonstrating a spin is similar to a power-off stall. During the entry, the pilot should slowly reduce ... limit of travel. Unless AFM/POH specifies otherwise, ailerons are maintained in the neutral position during the spin procedure. Incipient Phase The incipient phase occurs from the time the airplane stalls and starts rotating until the spin has fully developed. This…

  Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Introduction

  Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers Introduction During initial training, pilots learn how various flight control pressure inputs affect the airplane. After achieving a sufficient level of competence, the pilot is ready to apply this skill and maintain the airplane ... application (crop dusting), and various other flight profiles requiring specific flightpaths referenced to points on the surface. Ground reference maneuvers are the principal flight maneuvers that combine the four fundamentals (straight-and-level, turns, climbs, and descents) into…
