Question 13

SCATSAFE

Answer 13

• Straight-and-Level (Note the pitch attitude necessary to maintain level flight)
• Coordination Exercise (Conduct a series of coordinated left and right turns using 15-20 degrees of bank)
• Adverse Yaw (Select two points: one directly in front of the aircraft, and one 20 degrees to the right of the nose. Roll to one with no rudder and the other with coordinated rudder)
• Torque and Turns ( Power to MAX and release the controls. Note that the nose tracks up, yaws, rolls left, and approaches a stall. Recover. Reestablish slow flight and increase power to MAX, hold T/O attitude 7-10 NH with rudder for straight ground track)
• Steep Turns (Slowly increase bank towards 60 degrees while adding power and back pressure to maintain level flight. Turn around a point. You will be progressing into a stall so recover)
• Abrupt Control Movement (Abruptly apply back stick pressure to 20 NH to simulate flare. The AOA rapidly increases and the aircraft progresses toward a stall. Release back pressure to recover.)
• Flap Retraction (Raise the flaps from landing to UP without pausing at the TO position. While retracting the flaps, increase the pitch attitude to maintain altitude. Initially, airspeed increases, but as AOA increases and a stall results. Recover from the stall by selecting landing flaps.)
• Effectiveness of Controls (Move ailerons with small, rapid movements. Ineffective, unless smooth/controlled)
