Power off stalls
Entry altitude that will allow completion no lower than 1,500’ AGL.
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- 1500 RPM (maintain altitude)
- Landing configuration flow
- Stabilized descent at 65 KIAS
- Throttle idle (slowly)
- Wings level or up to 20° bank as assigned 7. Maintain altitude to induce stall
- Recover - simultaneously reduce AOA, max power, and level wings
- Retract flaps to 20° (immediately)
- Retract flaps to 10” when airspeed is greater than 55 KIAS
- Increase pitch to arrest descent
- Establish Vx or Vy as appropriate
- Retract flaps to 0° when accelerating through Vx 14. “Cruise Checklist.” Bank PRACTICAL
Power on stalls
Stalls are to be accomplished at an entry altitude that will allow completion no lower than 1,500’ AGL.
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- 1500 RPM (maintain altitude)
- Clean configuration flow
- At 60 KIAS, simultaneously increase pitch (slowly) and apply full power
- Increase pitch attitude to induce stall
- At stall/buffet (as required) recover simultaneously reduce AOA, max power, and level wings
- “Cruise Checklist”
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
- 80 KIAS (1700 RPM) maintain altitude
- Clean configuration flow
- Choose visual reference point
- Reduce throttle to idle
- Track at least three constant radius circles around reference point
- Airspeed constant
- Bank angle - adjust for winds- not to exceed 60° 10. Clear engine once every 360° turn
- Recover roll out on specified heading (visual reference)
- Adjust DG/HSI to compass
- “Cruise Checklist”
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
- Recover at the onset (buffeting) stall condition
- Simultaneously reduce AOA, max power, and level wings
