pitch, airspeed, and trim errors. 2. Fixation on a single bank instrument. On a 90° change of heading, for example, leave the heading indicator out of the cross-check for approximately 20 seconds after establishing a standard rate turn, since ... approach the lead point until that time has elapsed. Make the cross-check selective, checking only what needs to be checked at the appropriate time. 3. Failure to check for precession of the horizon bar following recovery from a turn…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Change of Airspeed During Turns
proper execution requires rapid cross-check and interpretation as well as smooth control. Proficiency in the maneuver also contributes to confidence in the instruments during attitude and power changes involved in more complex maneuvers. Pitch and power control techniques…
- Chapter 8: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying › Turns › Change of Airspeed in Turns
proper execution requires a rapid cross-check and interpretation, as well as smooth control. Proficiency in the maneuver also contributes to confidence in the instruments during attitude and power changes involved in more complex maneuvers. Pitch and power control techniques…

actually a separate instrument, conveniently located under the miniature aircraft because the two instruments are used together. The ball instrument indicates the quality of the turn. If the ball is off-center, the airplane is slipping or skidding. That ... ball and correct the slip. At the same time, apply right aileron pressure as necessary to level the wings, cross-checking the heading indicator and attitude indicator while centering the ball. If the wings are level and the ball…

properly trimmed. A flight deck interruption when holding pressures can easily lead to inadvertent entry into unusual attitudes. 2 Disorganized flight deck. Hunting for charts, logs, computers, etc., can seriously distract attention from the instruments. 3. Slow cross-check ... instruments. 5. Failure to practice basic instrument skills. All of the errors noted in connection with basic instrument skills are aggravated during unusual attitude recoveries until the elementary skills have been mastered.
