- Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Elevator Trim Stall
Elevator Trim Stall The elevator trim stall demonstration shows what can happen when the pilot applies full power for a go-around without maintaining positive control of the airplane. [Figure 5-14] This is a demonstration-only maneuver; only flight ... instructor applicants may be required to perform it on a practical test. However, all pilots should be familiar with the situations that can cause an elevator trim stall, recognize its development, and take appropriate action to prevent it. Figure…

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…

possible profile to the relative wind. As a result, drag is at its minimum. Pilots know this as coordinated flight. In a multiengine airplane with an inoperative engine, the centered ball is no longer the indicator of zero sideslip ... asymmetric thrust. In fact, there is no flight deck instrument that directly indicates conditions for zero sideslip. In the absence of a yaw string, the pilot needs to place the airplane at a predetermined bank angle and ball position. Since…

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 ... 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 to as increasing forward pressure), the airplane rotates the nose forward relative to the pilot…

Landing Gear Control Selected Up, Single-Engine Climb Performance Adequate If the single-engine rate of climb is adequate, the procedures for continued flight should be followed. [Figure 13-20] There are four areas of concern: control, configuration, climb ... checklist. Figure 13-20. Landing gear up—adequate climb performance. Control The first consideration following engine failure during takeoff is to maintain control of the airplane. Maintaining directional control with prompt and often aggressive rudder application and STOPPING…

best attained by a combination of control pressures and subsequent trim adjustments. The trim controls are aids to smooth aircraft control. Helicopter Trim A helicopter is placed in trim by continually cross-checking the instruments and performing the following: • Using ... Using the pedal adjustment to center the ball of the turn indicator. Pedal trim is required during all power changes and is used to relieve all control pressures held after a desired attitude has been attained. An improperly trimmed…
