being maintained during the turn, the pitch attitude should be corrected in relation to the natural horizon and cross-checked with the flight instruments to verify performance. Steep turns require accurate, smooth, and timely flight control inputs. Minor corrections…

relationship between aircraft motion, head movements, and resulting disorientation. 4. They help instill a greater confidence in relying on flight instruments for assessing true aircraft attitude. A pilot should not attempt any of these maneuvers at low altitudes ... eyes still closed and the aircraft in a straightand-level attitude, the instructor pilot now executes, with a relatively slow entry, a well coordinated turn of about 1.5 positive G (approximately 50° bank) for 90°. While in the turn, without…

mitigate this risk by ensuring that all of the directional flight instruments are checked properly before taxiing or taking off so that the position of the aircraft in relation to the runway and other traffic is always known. 1. Turn ... instrument is unreliable. Adjust the miniature aircraft with reference to the horizon bar for the particular airplane while on the ground. For some tricycle-gear airplanes, a slightly nose-low attitude on the ground gives a level flight attitude…
