Attitude Flight Flashcards
The term “attitude flying” means?
using a combination of engine power and aeroplane attitude to achieve the required performance in terms of flight path and airspeed
An excessively high or low nose attitude, or an extreme bank angle, is known as -
an usual attitude
When maneuvering the airplane, a suitable control sequence to follow (the same as in visual flight) is:
5 steps
- Visualize the desired new flight path and airspeed.
- Select the attitude and the power required to achieve the desired performance by moving the controls, and then checking when the airplane has achieved the estimated attitude on the AI.
- Hold the attitude on the AI, allowing the airplane to settle down into its new performance, and allowing the pressure instruments that experience some lag to catch up.
- Make small adjustments to attitude and power until the actual performance equals the desired performance.
- Trim (which is vital, if you are to achieve accurate and comfortable instrument flight).he pilot, and not to change aircraft attitude.
At a rate one turn, the aircraft will turn through 360 degrees in how many minutes?
2min

To calculate the time taken to fly through a certain amount of degrees at rate one -
divide by 3
To calculate the amount of degrees flown over a certain amount of time at rate one -
multiply by 3
