Lazy Eights: Description, Objective and Tolerances
Power 19” 2300 RPM
Pre-Landing Checklist
Emergency fields and clearing turns
Appropriate altitude
Determine wind direction and plan to enter with crosswind
Select heading & set OBS with heading bug at 90 degrees
Select visual reference points at 45’ 90 and 135 degrees
Pitch, pitch, bank until 15 degrees of bank and the steepest pitch is reached at 45 degrees
At 45 degrees, decrease pitch and increase bank until 30 degrees bank and nose down is reached at 90 degrees (allow the nose to slice)
At 90 degrees, constantly decrease pitch and bank until 15 degrees and the lowest pitch is reached at 135 degrees
At 135 degrees, increase pitch and decrease bank until both are zeroed out at 180 degrees
Begin maneuver in opposite direction
Objective: Airspeed should decrease to 60-65 kts at 90 degrees. Then, airspeed should increase to within 10 kts of entry airspeed at 180 degrees.
Tolerances: 5 degrees reciprocal heading, 50’ altitude, 10 kts entry airspeed
Chandelles: Description, Objective and Tolerances
Power 21” 2400 RPM
Pre-Landing Checklist
Emergency fields and clearing turns
Appropriate altitude
Determine wind direction and plan to enter into the wind
Select heading & set OBS with heading bug at 90 degrees
Select visual reference points at 45’ 90 and 135 degrees
30 degrees bank, prop forward, full power, pitch up (first 90 = constant bank)
At 90 degrees, decrease bank and maintain pitch (last 90 = constant pitch)
At 180 degrees, bank reaches zero, airspeed is 65 kts or less
Maintain altitude and allow the aircraft to accelerate to cruise setting
At 95 kts, 21” 24 RPM
Objective: reach 180 degrees within 10 kts of Vso at a constant power setting

Pre-Landing Checklist
Emergency fields and clearing turns
Determine wind direction and plan to enter into the wind
Determine pivotal altitude (TAS^2/11.3)
Locate pylons perpendicular to the wind, and 1/2 mile apart
Enter the first left turn at a 45 degree angle and at 110 kts
Elevator moves with the pylon to keep it on the line from the wingtip
At 180 degrees, wings level for 3-5 seconds until established on the second pylon
Objective: Maintain equal distance and wing-tip reference with pylons. Exit at entry point
Tolerances: minimal distance and reference deviation

Tolerances: exit within 5 degrees of original heading, maintain 50’ altitude, maintain within 10 kts entry airspeed
Steep Spirals: Description, Objective and Tolerances
Pre-Landing Checklist
Select altitude that allows for 3 full rotations

Clear engine after every turn
After 3 turns: GUMPS and flaps as required for landing
Objective: Complete three spiraling turns and roll out heading towards point at appropriate altitude. If over an airport, roll out on short final at an altitude which allows for touchdown on the 1000’ markers
Tolerances: Plus 5 minus 0 kts of Vg. Three rotations equidistant from point. Ending at appropriate altitude and
Power-off 180 Accuracy Approach and Landing: Description, Objective and Tolerances

Objective: Complete the approach and landing with no power
Tolerances: touchdown on or within 200’ beyond established point (usually 1000’ markers)
