Chapter 1 Flashcards
Climb Entry Sequence
- Increase Attitude to climb attitude
- Increase Power to climb power
- Trim when attitude and airspeed stabilize
Level Off from Climb Sequence
- Decrease pitch slowly to level flight
- Allow the airspeed to build
- As airspeed reaches cruise, decrease power
- Trim when airspeed and attitude stabilize
Descent Sequence
- Decrease power to 2000 RPM
- Decrease pitch to cruise descent attitude
- Trim when attitude and airspeed stabilize
Level Off from Descent Sequence
- Simultaneously increase pitch to level flight attitude and power to cruise setting
- Trim when airspeed and attitude stabilize
Turn Entry Sequence
- Establish 17 degree bank with attitude indicator
- Check turn coordinator for standard rate
Stopping Turn Sequence
- Level wings by reference to attitude indicator
To Slow from Cruise Airspeed to Approach Airspeed
- Adjust power to predetermined initial setting
- As airspeed decreases, smoothly increase pitch attitude as needed. Once pitch attitude is established, include ASI into the scan
- When airspeed reaches the desired indication, adjust power to maintain that speed and trim
CLIMB (Attitude + Power = Performance)
- Climb Attitude
- Full Power
- 500 FPM Climb at 80 KIAS
CRUISE (Attitude + Power = Performance)
- Level Attitude
- 2300 RPM
- Level at 100 KIAS
EN ROUTE Descent (Attitude + Power = Performance)
- Descent Attitude
- 2000 RPM
- 500 FPM Descent at 100 KIAS
APPROACH (Attitude + Power = Performance)
- Level Attitude
- 2000 RPM
- Level at 90 KIAS
APPROACH DESCENT (Attitude + Power = Performance)
- Descent Attitude
- 1700 RPM
- 500 FPM Descent at 90 KIAS
