- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Effect and Use of Flight Controls
With the pilot’s hand: ⦁ When pulling the elevator pitch control toward the pilot, which is an aft movement of the control wheel, yoke, control stick, or side stick controller (referred to as adding back pressure), the airplane’s nose ... will rotate backwards relative to the pilot around the pitch (lateral) axis of the airplane. Think of this movement from the pilot’s feet to the pilot’s head. ⦁ When pushing elevator pitch control toward the instrument panel, (referred…
- Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Trim Control
then hold the wings level with aileron flight control pressure while rudder control pressure is trimmed out. Finally, aileron trim should be adjusted to relieve any aileron flight control pressure. A properly trimmed airplane is an indication of good piloting ... skills. Any control forces that the pilot feels should be a result of deliberate flight control pressure inputs during a planned change in airplane attitude, not a result of forces being applied by the airplane. A common trim control error…
- Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Introduction
some sort of failure of the pilot. A significant number of takeoff accidents are the result of loss of control of the airplane. When compared to the entire profile of a normal flight, this phase of a flight is relatively ... short, but the pilot workload is intense. This chapter discusses takeoffs and departure climbs in airplanes under normal conditions and under conditions that require maximum performance. Though it may seem relatively simple, the takeoff often presents the most hazards…
- Chapter 6: Takeoffs and Departure Climbs › Normal Takeoff › Takeoff Roll
this point, the airplane is being flown more than it is being taxied. As this occurs, progressively smaller rudder deflections are needed to maintain direction. The feel of resistance to the movement of the controls and the airplane’s reaction ... such movements are the only real indicators of the degree of control attained. This feel of resistance is not a measure of the airplane’s speed, but rather of its controllability. To determine the degree of controllability, the pilot should…
- Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Takeoff and Climb › Takeoff Roll
levers from idle as the brakes are released. During the takeoff roll, the pilot flying should concentrate on directional control of the airplane. This is made somewhat easier because there is no torque-produced yawing in a jet as there ... propeller-driven airplane. The airplane should be maintained exactly on centerline with the wings level. This automatically aids the pilot when contending with an engine failure. If a crosswind exists, the wings should be kept level by displacing the control…
