Aerobatics and Contact Unusual Attitudes

Question 1

Maximum Operating Speed

Answer 1

316 KIAS

Question 2

Operating Maneuvering Speed

Answer 2

227 KIAS

Question 3

Nose High Unusual Attitude Recovery

Answer 3

1. PCL - MAX (as required) and initiating a coordinated roll past 90° AOB towards inverted attitude until the nose approaches the horizon…use backstick pressure to pull yourself towards the horizon
2. If airspeed is low, the rollout may be delayed until the nose is below the horizon
3. Roll wings level and pull back up near the horizon

Question 4

Nose Low Unusual Attitude Recovery

Answer 4

1. Roll the aircraft to the nerest horizon while simultaneously reducing the PCL to IDLE (use speed brake as required)
2. DO NOT EXCEED MAX ALLOWABLE AIRSPEED
3. Pull nose towards the horizon (do not aggressively pull to the horizon and cause an accelerated stall)

Question 5

Inverted Unsual Attitude Recovery

Answer 5

1. Roll towards the horizon in the shortest direction
2. Established the aircraft in an upright position and add power as required

• ~70% power

Question 8

Barrel Roll Entry Configuration

Answer 8

• Clean
• Entry airspeed of 200-220 KIAS
• ~80% power

Question 9

Aileron Roll Entry Configuration

Answer 9

• Clean
• Entry airspeed of 180-220 KIAS
• ~80% Power

Question 10

Half Cuban Eight Entry Configuration

Answer 10

• Clean
• Entry Airspeed of 230-250 KIAS
• MAX power

Question 11

Half Cuban Eight Procedure

Answer 11

1. Check wings level, clear airspace above you, and report entry altitude.
2. Start AGSM and initiate a 4G pull up while keeping the wings level. Do not use aileron.
3. Re-check wings are level as the nose passes through the horizon and adjust backstick pressure to keep nose moving at a constant rate. Right rudder will need to increase as airspeed decreases
4. Airspeed will be at its lowest at the top of the loop: this point will require the greatest about of right rudder while also requiring less backstick pressure. Maintain wings level.
5. Allow the nose to fall through the opposite horizon, adjusting the amount of back-stick pressure to maintain constant pitch rate.
6. As the nose approaches a point 45° below the opposite horizon, release back-stick pressure and commence a roll in either direction. Apply slight forward stick pressure ruring the roll to hold the heading and allow the nose to continue pitching downward to a position 45° below the horizon.
7. After completing the half roll, maintain 45° nose-low until beginning the pull-up. Begin pull-up at approximately 205-210 KIAS (airspeed lead point approximately equal to the number of degrees of nose-low pitch). Continue the pull-up to entry altitude and reciprocal heading.
