Question 5

Slow Flight

Answer 5

or 15 bank +/- 10

COMM
+/- 10 heading
or 15 bank +/- 5

Question 7

Power On Stall

Answer 7

To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the takeoff configuration.

Question 8

Accelerated Stall

Answer 8

To demonstrate to the student that the aircraft will stall at a higher airspeed under increased load factor.

45 bank

Question 9

Cross Control Stall

Answer 9

To demonstrate and show the effects of uncoordinated flight on stall behavior and to emphasize the importance of maintaining coordinated flight while making turns.

Question 10

Elevator Trim Stall

Answer 10

To demonstrate the effects of trim when applying full power in a go-around without maintaining positive control of the airplane.

Question 11

Secondary Stalls

Answer 11

To demonstrate the effects of improper recovery inducing another stall after initiating a recovery from the initial stall.

Question 12

Eights on Pylons

Answer 12

An advanced training maneuver designed to develop coordination skills while the pilot’s attention is directed at maintaining a pivotal position on a selected pylon.

H = GS ^ 2 / 11.3

< 40 bank

Question 13

Steep Spirals

Answer 13

To provide a flight maneuver for rapidly dissipating substantial amounts of altitude while remaining over a selected point.

+/- 10 heading
+/- 10 kts

Question 14

Lazy Eights

Answer 14

To develop proper coordination of the flight controls across a wide range of airspeed and attitudes.

+/- 100 ft
+/- 10 kts
+/- 10 heading

Question 15

Chandelle

Answer 15

To demonstrate a maximum performance, 180 degree climbing turn that begins approximately straight and level flight and concludes with wing level nose high attitude just above stall speed.

180 degrees +/- 10
Just above stall

Question 16

Emergency Descent

Answer 16

To demonstrate and perform a maneuver for descending as rapidly as possible to a lower altitude or to the ground for an emergency landing. Positive load factors should be maintained during the maneuver.

PRIVATE
+0/-10 kts
+/- 100 ft when leveling off
