Power on stalls
Stalls are to be accomplished at an entry altitude that will allow completion no lower than 1,500’ AGL.

Emergency Descent
Situations requiring an emergency descent, such as cockpit smoke and/or fire. Situational awareness, appropriate division of attention, and positive load factors should be maintained during the maneuver and descent.
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- Clean configuration flow
- Reduce throttle to idle
- Initiate turning descent, while clearing for traffie 5. Maintain (training) 120 KIAS
- Notify ATC/Traffic as appropriate Chandelles
Chandelles
Allow completion no lower than 1,500’ AĞL, and consist of one maximum performance climbing turn beginning from straight-and-level flight, and ending at the completion of a precise 180 turn in a wings level, nose-high attitude at the minimum controllable airspeed.
- Perform two 90” clearing turns
- 100 KIAS (2200 RPM) maintain altitude
- Clean configuration flow
- Choose a reference point off wing
- Establish / maintain 30° bank
- Full Throttle - Increase pitch to attain approx, 10-12° pitch up at 90° point ist 90” of turn, Bank = constant 30’, Pitch = increasing to 10-12 pitch up
- 90° point maintain pitch reduce bank angle to attain level flight at 180 point
2nd 90 of turn, Pitch = constant 10-12 pitch up, Bank = decreasing to level flight - 180° point - wings level - minimum controllable airspeed
- Accelerate whlle maintaining level flight
- “Cruise Checklist”
Lazy eights
altitude completed no lower than 1,500’ AGL. The applicant is required to maintain coordinated flight throughout the maneuver, with a constant change of pitch and roll ráte.
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- 100 KIAS (2200 RPM) maintain altitude
- Clean configuration flow
- Choose a reference point off of the wing
- Simultaneously increase pitch and bank (slowly) 6. 45° point 15° pitch up and 15* bank
- Reduce pitch / increase bank
- 90° point - level pitch 30° bank min. speed (5-10 knots above stall)
- Continue reducing pitch and reduce bank
- 135° point 15° pitch down - 15° bank
- 180° point - level flight entry airspeed and altitude
- Repeat in opposite direction
- “Cruise Checklist”
Eights on Pylons
Eights on Pylons are to be accomplished at the appropriate pivotal altitude (groundspeed:/11.3), governed by the aircraft’s groundspeed. The applicant is required to maintain coordinated flight while flying a figure eight pattern which holds the selected pylons using the appropriate pivotal altitude. At the steepest point, the angle of bank should be approximately 30-40”,
- Enter pivotal altitude (approximately 900’ AGL at 100 KIAS - 2200 RPM)
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- Clean configuration flow
- Select two pylons to allow for minimal time spent wings level between the two
- Enter maneuver on a 45° midpoint downwind
- Apply appropriate pitch corrections to compensate for changes in groundspeed and;
- To maintain line of sight reference with the pylon (pitch forward if point moves toward nose and pitch back if point moves toward tail)
- Begin rollout to allow the airplane to proceed diagonally between the pylons at a 45” angle
- Begin second turn in the opposite direction of the first
- Exit maneuver on entry heading
- “Cruise Checklist”
Steep spirals
- Altitude - at least 3,000’ AGL
- Perform two 90” clearing turns

- Choose visual reference point
- Reduce throttle to idle
- Track at least three constant radius circles around reference point

- Recover roll out on specified heading (visual reference)
- Adjust DG/HSI to compass

Accelerated Stall
Altitude that allows completion no lower 3,000 feet AGL A smooth transition should be made from cruise attitude to a bank angle of 45, maintaining coordinated turning flight, while increasing elevator back pressure steadily to induce the stall.
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- Slow to approximately 80 KIAS (during clearing turns)
- Clean configuration flow
- Establish a coordinated 45° bank turn
- Slowly reduce power to idle
- Maintain altitude to induce stall
