  • CHAPTER 2. FLIGHT TRAINING: STALLS › 200. STALL TRAINING › a. Stall Avoidance Practice at Slow Airspeeds

    Adverse yaw demonstration. While at a low airspeed, have the student enter left and right turns without using rudder pedals. (8) Have the student practice turns, climbs, and descents at low airspeeds. (9) Demonstrate the proper flap extension and retraction ... procedures while in level flight to avoid a stall at low airspeeds. Note the change in stall speeds with flaps extended and retracted. (10) Utilize realistic distractions at low airspeeds. Give the student a task to perform while flying…

  • Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Types of Altitude

    Indicated altitude—read directly from the altimeter (uncorrected) when it is set to the current altimeter setting. 2. True altitude—the vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level—the actual altitude. It is often expressed as feet above mean ... level (MSL). Airport, terrain, and obstacle elevations on aeronautical charts are true altitudes. 3. Absolute altitude—the vertical distance of an aircraft above the terrain, or above ground level (AGL). 4. Pressure altitude—the altitude indicated when the altimeter setting…

  • Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Instrument Check › Airspeed Indicator (ASI)

    This error is generally greatest at low airspeeds. In the cruising and higher airspeed ranges, IAS and CAS are approximately the same. Refer to the airspeed calibration chart to correct for possible airspeed errors. • True airspeed (TAS)—CAS corrected ... altitude and nonstandard temperature. Because air density decreases with an increase in altitude, an aircraft has to be flown faster at higher altitudes to cause the same pressure difference between pitot impact pressure and static pressure. Therefore, for a given…

  • CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS › 100. STALL/SPIN EFFECTS AND DEFINITIONS › j. Altitude and Temperature

    stall speed increases. The increased weight requires a higher AOA to produce additional lift to support the weight. j. Altitude and Temperature. Altitude has little or no effect on an airplane’s indicated stall speed. Thinner air at higher altitudes ... will result in decreased aircraft performance and a higher true airspeed for a given indicated airspeed. Higher than standard temperatures will also contribute to increased true airspeed for a given indicated airspeed. However, the higher true airspeed has no effect…

  • Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › Thrust

    vectors during a stabilized climb. Likewise, if the engine power is increased, thrust becomes greater than drag and the airspeed increases. As long as the thrust continues to be greater than the drag, the aircraft continues to accelerate. When drag ... equals thrust, the aircraft flies at a constant airspeed. Straight-and-level flight may be sustained at a wide range of speeds. The pilot coordinates AOA and thrust in all speed regimes if the aircraft is to be held…

  • 14 CFR Part 91, Appendix A to Part 91—Category II Operations: Manual, Instruments, Equipment, and Maintenance

    Evaluation program—(1) Application. Approval by evaluation is requested as a part of the application for approval of the Category II manual. (2) Demonstrations. Unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator, the evaluation program for each aircraft requires the demonstrations specified ... successful. A successful approach is one in which— (i) At the 100-foot decision height, the indicated airspeed and heading are satisfactory for a normal flare and landing (speed must be plus or minus 5 knots of programmed airspeed…
