  Chapter 6, Section I: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying › Attitude Indicator › Helicopter Trim

  best attained by a combination of control pressures and subsequent trim adjustments. The trim controls are aids to smooth aircraft control. Helicopter Trim A helicopter is placed in trim by continually cross-checking the instruments and performing the following: • Using ... Using the pedal adjustment to center the ball of the turn indicator. Pedal trim is required during all power changes and is used to relieve all control pressures held after a desired attitude has been attained. An improperly trimmed…

  Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Elevator Trim Stall

  Elevator Trim Stall The elevator trim stall demonstration shows what can happen when the pilot applies full power for a go-around without maintaining positive control of the airplane. [Figure 5-14] This is a demonstration-only maneuver; only flight ... instructor applicants may be required to perform it on a practical test. However, all pilots should be familiar with the situations that can cause an elevator trim stall, recognize its development, and take appropriate action to prevent it. Figure…

  then hold the wings level with aileron flight control pressure while rudder control pressure is trimmed out. Finally, aileron trim should be adjusted to relieve any aileron flight control pressure. A properly trimmed airplane is an indication of good piloting ... skills. Any control forces that the pilot feels should be a result of deliberate flight control pressure inputs during a planned change in airplane attitude, not a result of forces being applied by the airplane. A common trim control error…

  possible profile to the relative wind. As a result, drag is at its minimum. Pilots know this as coordinated flight. In a multiengine airplane with an inoperative engine, the centered ball is no longer the indicator of zero sideslip ... asymmetric thrust. In fact, there is no flight deck instrument that directly indicates conditions for zero sideslip. In the absence of a yaw string, the pilot needs to place the airplane at a predetermined bank angle and ball position. Since…

  Chapter 6, Section II: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying › Learning Methods › Control and Performance Method

  Learning Methods There are two basic methods utilized for learning attitude instrument flying. They are “control and performance” and “primary and supporting.” These methods rely on the same flight instruments and require the pilot to make the same adjustments ... flight and power controls to control aircraft attitude. The main difference between the two methods is the importance that is placed on the attitude indicator and the interpretation of the other flight instruments. Figure 6-22.
