  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 10: Performance Maneuvers › Introduction

  Introduction Basic flight maneuvers taught to pilots include: straight-and-level, turns, climbs, and descents. As training advances, other performance maneuvers serve to further develop piloting skills. Performance maneuvers enhance a pilot’s proficiency in flight control application, maneuver planning ... situational awareness, and division of attention. To further that intent, performance maneuver design allows for the application of flight control pressures, attitudes, airspeeds, and orientations that constantly change throughout the maneuver. Deficiencies during execution of performance maneuvers often occur when…

  Climb performance is reduced by the moderate sideslip. With wings level, VMC is significantly higher than published as there is no horizontal component of lift available to help the rudder combat asymmetrical thrust. Figure 13-15. Wings level engine ... flight. 2. Engine inoperative flight using ailerons alone requires an 8–10° bank angle toward the operative engine. [Figure 13-16] This assumes no rudder input, the ball is displaced well toward the operative engine, and climb performance is greatly…

  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…
