Commercial Maneuvers

Question 1

What are the 5 “C”s of manuevers?

Answer 1

Clearing Turns, Call, Configure, Complete Maneuver, Cruise Check list.

Question 2

Describe how to do Chandelles.

Answer 2

100kias (2200rpm) maintain altitude
Clean Configuration Flow
Choose Reference point off wing
Establish 30 degree bank
Full Throttle- increase pitch to 10-12 degree up at 90 degree turn point
At 90 degree point- maintain pitch, reduce bank angle to level flight.
180 degree point- wings level at min contoll airspeed
accelerate while maintaining level flight.
Cruise Checklist

180 degree turn, rollout +/- 10 degrees, airspeed just above a stall momentarily.

Question 3

Describe how to do Lazy Eights.

Answer 3

100kias (2200rpm) maintain altitude
Clean Configuration Flow
Choose reference point of wing
simultaneously increase pitch and bank slowly
45 point- 15 pitch up, 15 bank
90 point- level pitch-30 bank- min speed(5-10kts abv stall)
135 point- 15 pitch down, 15 bank
180 point- level flight, entry airspeed and altitude
repeat in opposite direction
Cruise Checklist

At 180 points: +/- 10kts, +/- 100ft, +/- 10bank

Question 4

Describe how to do Eights on Pylons.

Answer 4

Enter Pivotal Altitude (900’agl, 100kias, 2200rpm)
Clean Configuration Flow
Select two pylons to allow for minimal time spent wings level
Entry at 45 midpoint downwind
apply appropriate pitch corrections to compensate for changes in groundspeed
use pitch to adjust line of sight reference point
begin rollout to proceed at 45
begin second turn in opposite direction
cruise checklist

Question 5

Describe how to do Steep Spirals.

Answer 5

At least 3000ft AGL
80kias (1700rpm) maintain altitude
Clean Configuration Flow
Choose visual reference point
Reduce throttle to idle
perform three constant radius circles 
airspeed constant
bank angle adjust for winds
clear engine once ever 360 degrees
recover- roll out at specified heading
cruise checklist

+/- 10kts, +/- 10 heading
