aircraft into a potentially dangerous condition. In multiengine airplanes, single-engine stalls must be avoided. Descriptions of some different types of stalls follows: a. Power-off stalls (also known as approach-to-landing stalls) are practiced to simulate normal approach ... landing conditions and configuration. Many stall/spin accidents have occurred in these power-off situations, such as crossed control turns from base leg to final approach (resulting in a skidding or slipping turn); attempting to recover from a high sink…

recover from a student's poorly performed stall or unusual attitude that could lead to a spin. Configure the aircraft for a power-on or power-off stall, and continue to apply back elevator pressure. As the stall occurs ... both directions by the applicant. (1) Apply the entry procedure for a power-off stall. As the airplane approaches a stall, smoothly apply full rudder in the direction of desired spin rotation and continue to apply back elevator…

Approaches and landings are usually flown at speeds within the white arc. Figure 8-8. Single engine airspeed indicator (ASI). • Lower limit of white arc (VS0)—the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration. In small aircraft, this is the power-off stall speed at the maximum landing weight in the landing configuration (gear and flaps down). • Upper limit of the white arc (VFE)—the maximum speed with the flaps extended. • Green…

mechanically. Instead, it is necessary to convey problems and solutions (power, control, and configuration changes) based on what is actually happening on that specific approach. When an instructor teaches mechanically, they cause the learner to be ill-equipped ... This teaching method may result in unstable approaches and faulty landings. The instructor should prompt the learner on the current conditions and how to correct the situation to maintain a stabilized approach. The decision on choosing aiming points and touchdown…

One of the major components of a flight director system, it provides steering ... blending available inputs from long- and shortrange sensors. Flight path.

pilot loads the instrument approach and decides to remain on autopilot. However, after the aircraft passes the initial approach fix, ATC cancels the approach clearance. ATC provides vectors and tells the pilot to expect to hold. In this situation ... comply with the assignment from ATC. The lower level of automation allows the pilot to program and configure the aircraft for an unexpected change while keeping the flightpath and aircraft state under control. 12295 Pilots may sometimes choose…
