- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Standard Rate Turns
Turns Standard Rate Turns A standard rate turn is one in which the pilot will do a complete 360° circle in 2 minutes or 3 degrees per second. A standard rate turn, although always 3 degrees per second, requires higher ... angles of bank as airspeed increases. To enter a standard rate level turn, apply coordinated aileron and rudder pressures in the desired direction of turn. Pilots commonly roll into turns at a much too rapid rate. During initial training…
- Chapter 8: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying › Turns › Timed Turns
Timed Turns A timed turn is a turn in which the clock and turn-and-slip indicator are used to change heading a definite number of degrees in a given time. For example, using a standard rate turn, a helicopter ... turns 45° in 15 seconds. Using a half-standard rate turn, the helicopter turns 45° in 30 seconds. Timed turns can be used if the heading indicator becomes inoperative. Figure 8-14. Flight instrument indications in a standard-rate turn…
- Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Gyroscopic Flight Instruments › Turn Coordinator
Turn Coordinator The gimbal in the turn coordinator is canted; therefore, its gyro can sense both rate of roll and rate of turn. Since turn coordinators are more prevalent in training aircraft, this discussion concentrates on that instrument. When rolling ... into or out of a turn, the miniature aircraft banks in the direction the aircraft is rolled. A rapid roll rate causes the miniature aircraft to bank more steeply than a slow roll rate. The turn coordinator can be used…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Basic Instrument Flight Patterns › Standard 45° Procedure Turn
Standard 45° Procedure Turn 1. Start timing at point A (usually identified on approach procedures by a fix). For example, fly outbound on a heading of 360° for a given time (2 minutes, in this example). [Figure ... After flying outbound for 2 minutes (point B), turn left 45° to a heading of 315° using a standard rate turn. After roll-out and stabilizing, fly this new heading of 315° for 40 seconds and the aircraft will…
- Chapter 7, Section I: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Timed Turns
Timed Turns A timed turn is a turn in which the clock and the turn coordinator are used to change heading by a specific number of degrees in a given time. For example, in a standard rate turn (3 degrees ... second), an airplane turns 45° in 15 seconds; in a half standard rate turn, the airplane turns 45° in 30 seconds. Prior to performing timed turns, the turn coordinator should be calibrated to determine the accuracy of its indications. [Figure…

Common Errors During Straight Climbs and Descents 1. Failure to maintain heading 2. Improper use of power 3. Poor control of pitch attitude 4. Failure to maintain proper pedal trim 5. Failure to level off on desired altitude Turns Turns ... made by reference to the flight instruments should be made at a precise rate. Turns described in this chapter are those not exceeding a standard rate of 3° per second as indicated on the turn-and-slip indicator. True airspeed…
