  • Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › Common Errors › Autorotation with Turns

    lose altitude. A delayed turn will result in a lower altitude when arriving on the course line. Additionally, an uncoordinated flight condition (trim-ball not centered) results in an increased sink rate, which may be unrecoverable if not corrected…

  • Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Traffic Patterns

    Common Errors 1. Faulty entry technique. 2. Poor planning, orientation, or division of attention. 3. Uncoordinated flight control application. 4. Improper correction for wind drift. 5. Failure to maintain selected altitude or airspeed. 6. Failure to maintain an equal distance…

  • Chapter 9: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Common Errors › S-Turns

    Common Errors 1. Faulty entry technique. 2. Poor planning, orientation, and/or division of attention. 3. Uncoordinated flight control application. 4. Improper correction for wind drift. 5. Failure to maintain selected altitude and airspeed. 6. Selection of a ground reference with…

    regard to location, air traffic control, weather, regulations, aircraft status, and other factors that may affect flight. Skidding turn. An uncoordinated turn in which the rate of turn is too great for the angle of bank, pulling the aircraft ... with a remotely located magnetic direction sensing device (usually a flux valve or flux gate compass). Slipping turn. An uncoordinated turn in which the aircraft is banked too much for the rate of turn, so the horizontal lift component…

  • Chapter 17: Aeromedical Factors › Visual Illusions › Demonstration of Spatial Disorientation

    because of the forces acting upon the body in certain flight situations, many false sensations can occur due to acceleration forces overpowering gravity. [Figure 17-6] These situations include uncoordinated turns, climbing turns, and turbulence. Demonstration of Spatial Disorientation There…

  • Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Level Turns

    coordinated turn. Coordinated flight is an important part of airplane control. Situations can develop when a pilot maintains certain uncoordinated flight control deflections, which create the potential for a spin. This is especially hazardous when operating at low altitudes, such ... airport traffic pattern. Figure 3-12. The rudder opposes adverse yaw to help coordinate the turn. During uncoordinated flight, the pilot may feel that they are being pushed sideways toward the outside or inside of the turn. [Figure…
