- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Steep Turns
During training in steep turns, as in any other maneuver, attend to the most important tasks first. Keep the pitch attitude relatively constant, and more time can be devoted to cross-check and instrument interpretation. During recovery from steep turns ... released and power decreased. The common errors associated with steep turns are the same as those discussed later in this section. Remember, errors are more exaggerated, more difficult to correct, and more difficult to analyze unless rates of entry…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Pitch › Common Errors in Straight-and-Level Flight
overcontrolling is the anticipated error, practice small corrections and find the cause of overcontrolling. If any deviation is tolerated, errors increase. 6. Chasing the vertical speed indications. This tendency can be corrected by proper cross-check of other pitch instruments ... well as by increasing overall understanding of instrument characteristics. 7. Using excessive pitch corrections for the altimeter evaluation. Rushing a pitch correction by making a large pitch change usually aggravates the existing error, saving neither time nor effort. 8. Failure…
- Chapter 6, Section II: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying › Common Errors › Fixation
Common Errors Fixation Fixation, or staring at one instrument, is a common error observed in pilots first learning to utilize trend indicators. The pilot may initially fixate on the trend indicator and make adjustments with reference to that alone. Trend ... hold airspeed to within one knot; the Instrument Rating Practical Test Standards (PTS) allows greater latitude. Omission Another common error associated with attitude instrument flying is omission of an instrument from the cross-check. Due to the high reliability…
- Chapter 5: Flight Instruments › Dynamic Pressure Type Instruments › Magnetic Compass Errors
rule of thumb to correct for this leading error is to stop the turn 15° plus half of the latitude (i.e., if the airplane is being operated in a position around the 40° of latitude, the turn should be stopped ... prior to the desired heading). [Figure 5-20A] Southerly Turning Errors When turning in a southerly direction, the forces are such that the compass float assembly lags rather than leads. The result is a false southerly turn indication…

examiner may accept, at their discretion, a logbook endorsement in lieu of demonstrating the touchdown portion of these tasks during the practical test. This logbook endorsement must be given by a current flight instructor who meets the requirements ... their flight instructor certificate that provided the training and can attest to the applicant’s competence in these tasks. The following areas must be trained and documented in the endorsement, as evidence of instructional knowledge relating to the elements, common…
