Flight Maneuvers Flashcards
Clean Configuration Flow
- Electric fuel pump - on.
- Fuel selector - proper tank.
- Mixture - enrichen
- Flaps - 0
Landing configuration flow
- Electric fuel pump - on.
- Fuel selector - proper tank.
- Mixture - enrichen
- Flaps - 40
Steep Turns
Two coordinated 360 degree turns, one in each direction, using a bank angle of 45-50 degrees.
Steep Turn Steps
- Two 90 degree clearing turns
- 100 KIAS (approx. 2300 RPM), maintain altitude
- Cruise checklist
- Perform a 360 degree turn with 45 degree of bank
- Maintain altitude and airspeed (add back pressure, add approx. 1-200 RPM)
- Roll out half bank angle prior to entry heading
- Look for traffic, then perform a 360 degree turn with a 45 degree bank angle in the opposite direction
- Roll out half bank angle prior to entry heading
- Cruise checklist
Maneuvering During Slow Flight
Flight (straight-and-level, climbs, turns, and descents) at an AOA just below that which will cause an aerodynamic buffet or stall warning
Maneuvering During Slow Flight Steps
- Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
- 1500 RPM (maintain altitude)
- Landing configuration flow
- Maintain altitude - slow to just above stall warning activation (50-55 KIAS)
- Power as required to maintain airspeed and altitude
- Accomplish level flight, climbs, turns, and descents as required w/out activating stall warning (ATP - max 30 degree bank)
- Recover - max power/maintain altitude
- Accelerate to 64 KIAS (Vx)
- Cruise checklist.
Power-Off Stall
Stall from a stabilized descent in the landing configuration with the throttle at idle, simulating a stall during an approach to landing
The ground reference maneuver, rectangular course, represents:
An airport traffic pattern.
The maneuver is accomplished to replicate the airport traffic pattern that an airplane typically maneuvers while landing.
Normal Takeoff (Flaps 0) for Piper Archer
Do not delay on runway.
- Approaching centerline, adjust controls for wind.
- Smoothly increase the throttle to full power.
- Check engine gauges.
- “Airspeed Alive”
- Start slow rotation at 60 KIAS
- Pitch to VY sight picture and accelerate at 76 KIAS (VY)
- “After Takeoff Checklist” out of 1,000 AGL
Normal Visual Approach & Landing for Piper Archer
- Complete “Approach Checklist” before entering the airport traffic pattern; devote full attention to aircraft control and traffic avoidance.
- Slow to 90 KIAS prior to entering downwind or traffic pattern.
- Enter traffic pattern at published TPA (typically 1,000 AGL).
- Complete the “Before Landing Checklist” when abeam the touchdown point.
- When abeam the touchdown point, reduce power (approx. 1500 RPM) and select flaps 10.
- Descend out of TPA at 80 KIAS.
- On base leg select flaps 25, slow to and trim for 75 KIAS.
- Maintain 70 KIAS until landing is assured, then slow to 66 KIAS until the roundout.
- Complete the GCASH check and make the stabilized approach vs. go-around decision no lower than 200’ AGL.
Go-Around/Missed Approach Procedure for Piper Archer
- Throttle - full power.
- Increase pitch to establish climb at VX or VY as appropriate.
- Retract flaps slowly when above VX and clear of obstacles.
- “After Takeoff Checklist” at pattern altitude or out of 1,000 AGL.
Crosswind Approach and Landing Changes for Piper Archer
- Before entering traffic pattern, brief how your approach and landing will be different.
- Plan a crab angle on downwind. Do not allow winds to push the airplane off intended ground track.
- Establish crab angle on final, then transition to the wing-low sideslip technique no lower than 200’ AGL.
- After landing, increase aileron input into the wind as the airplane slows.
*The demonstrated crosswind component in the PA28 is 17 kts.
Rejected or Balked Landing Procedure for Piper Archer
- Throttle - full power.
- Carb heat - off.
- Accelerate to 60 KIAS (if slower) then;
- Increase pitch to establish climb at VX or VY as appropriate.
- Retract flaps slowly when above VX and clear of obstacles.
- “After Takeoff Checklist” at pattern altitude or out of 1,000 AGL.
