  attempt any of these maneuvers at low altitudes or in the absence of an instructor pilot or an appropriate safety pilot. Climbing While Accelerating With the pilot’s eyes closed, the instructor pilot maintains approach airspeed in a straight ... maintaining straight-and-level attitude. The usual illusion during this maneuver, without visual references, is that the aircraft is climbing. Climbing While Turning With the pilot’s eyes still closed and the aircraft in a straightand-level attitude, the instructor…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Climb Performance Factors › Region of Reversed Command

  curve represents the speed at which the lowest brake horsepower sustains level flight. This is termed the best endurance airspeed. An airplane performing a low airspeed, high pitch attitude power approach for a short-field landing is an example ... operating in the region of reversed command. If an unacceptably high sink rate should develop, it may be possible for the pilot to reduce or stop the descent by applying power. But without further use of power, the airplane would…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Climb Performance

  Positive climb performance occurs when an aircraft gains PE by increasing altitude. Two basic factors, or a combination of the two factors, contribute to positive climb performance in most aircraft: 1. The aircraft climbs (gains PE) using excess power above ... that required to maintain level flight, or 2. The aircraft climbs by converting airspeed (KE) to altitude (PE). As an example of factor 1 above, an aircraft with an engine capable of producing 200 horsepower (at a given altitude…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Rate of Climb (ROC)

  Rate of Climb (ROC) ROC is a comparison of altitude gained relative to the time needed to reach that altitude. ROC is simply the vertical component of the aircraft’s flight path velocity vector. For maximum ROC performance, a pilot ... achieve a maximum gain in altitude over a given period of time. Maximum ROC expedites a climb to an assigned altitude. This gains the greatest vertical distance over a period of time. For example, in a maximum AOC profile…
