Question 1

What are the four basic flight maneuvers?

Answer 1

Straight-and-level
Turn
Climb
Descent

Question 2

Turns with a bank angle of around 20 degrees or less. Aileron pressure must be utilized to maintain turn.

Answer 2

Shallow Turn

Question 3

Bank angle is between 20 and 45 degrees. Often with neutral aileron control pressure.

Answer 3

Medium Turn

Question 4

Bank angle of over 45 degrees. Counter aileron control pressure must be applied to avoid over banking.

Answer 4

Steep Turn
