General 2 Flashcards
While performing eights-on-pylons, the turn-and-slip indicator appears as
shown in ‘2.’ The pilot must
increase altitude to obtain the correct pivotal altitude, and correct the skidding turn.
Misuse of rudder in attempting to hold the pylon during the performance
of eights on pylons will result in which turn and slip indiciation?
1 id above pivotal altotide 2 if below the privotal altitude
What are the Common errors when performing steep turns?
- Not clearing the area
- Inadequate pitch control on entry or rollout
- Gaining altitude or losing altitude
- Failure to maintain constant bank angle
- Poor flight control coordination
- Ineffective use of trim
Students should be taguth that throught a level steep turn to the right, the rudder is normally used to
prevent yawing
What is Chandelle?
The chandelle is an aircraft control maneuver where the pilot combines a 180° turn with a climb.
Pilots who initiate a chandelle with a bank that is too steep will most likely
fall to gain maximum performance
Common Errors when perfromaing chandelles?
- Not clearing the area
- Initial bank is too shallow resulting in a stall
- Initial bank is too steep resulting in failure to gain maximum
- Allowing the bank angle to increase after initial establishment
- Not starting the recovery at the 90° point in the turn
- Allowing the pitch attitude to increase as the bank is rolled out during the second 90° of tum
- Leveling the wings prior to the I 80° point being reached
- Pitch attitude is low on recovery resulting in airspeed well above stall speed
- Application of flight control pressures is not smooth
- Poor flight control coordination
- Stalling at any point during the maneuver
- Execution of a steep tum instead of a climbing maneuver
- Not scanning for other traffic during the maneuver
- Performing by reference to the flight instrument rather than visual references
What may occur if the initial bank is too shallow when performing a chandelle?
Stalling the aircraft before reaching the 180 point
When performing a chandelle, where should maximum pitch occur?
90°point.
Which best describes pitch and bank during the first 90” of a chandelle?
Constant bank and changing pitch
Which best describes pitch and bank during the second 90• of a chandelle?
Constant pitch and changing bank.
When performing a lazy eight, where should the maximum pitchup attitude occur?
45° poinl.
When performing a lazy eight, when should the aircraft be at minimum airspeed?
90”point.
When perform’ng a lazy eight, where should the maximum pitchdown attitude occur?
135 point
When performing a lazy eight, when should the maximum altitude occur?
90 poin
What should occur at the 90 point of lazy eight?
Steepest bank, minimum airspeed, maximum alitude, and level pitch, attitude.
What would cause the 45 point to be reached before the maximum pitchup anitude during a lazy eight?
Begning with too rapid a rate of roll
Which is the most probable result if a pilot intitiate the climbing turn portions of a lazy eight with banks that are too steep?
Compleiting each 180 change of direction with less altitude change than is normal for the nameuver
During practice of lazy eights, the most probable cause of the uncordianted situation at the compleition of 90 of turn (indicated by the turn and slip indicator?
use of too much right rudder pressure
If poor aircraft controllability is expereinced during an emergency go-around with full flaps, the cause is most probably due to
The high power, low airspeed situtation with the airplane trimmed for a full flpa configuration
A go around from a poor landing approach should generally be preferable to
last minute attempts to prevent a bad landing
Dyring a go arounds from a full flaps approach in cinventional airplanes, which procedure should be used if the flight manually does not specify differently?
Start retracting the flaps firs, then retract the gears
One reason a student tends to round out high during landing Is
Focusing on references that are too close or looking directly down
What are the common errors in the performance of normal approaches and landings are
- Inadequate wind drift correction on the base leg.
- Overshooting or undershooting the tum onto final approach resulting in too steep or too shallow a
turn onto final approach.
- Flat or skidding turns from base leg to final approach as a result of overshooting/inadequate wind
drift correction.
- Poor coordination during turn from base to final approach.
- Failure to complete the landing checklist in a timely manner.
- Unstable approach.
- Failure to adequately compensate for flap extension.
- Poor trim technique on final approach.
- Attempting to maintain altitude or reach the runway using elevator alone.
- Focusing too close to the airplane resulting in a too high round out.
- Focusing too far from the airplane resulting in a too low round out.
- Touching down prior to attaining proper landing attitude.
- Failure to hold sufficient back-elevator pressure after touchdown.
- Excessive braking after touchdown.
- Loss of aircraft control durinl! touchdown ~nrl rnll 011t
What could be a result of a student focusing too far ahead during a landing approach?
Difficulty in judging the closeness of the ground resulting in a nose-first touchdown.
Under normal conditions, a proper crosswind landing on a runway requires that, at the moment of touchdown, the
direction of motion of the aircraft and its longitudinal axis be parallel to the runway.
During a power approach to a short-field landing, the correct airspeed may be verified by
Little or no floating during the landing flare
What is the correct procedure to follow if an aircraft is in the region of reverse command during a landing approach?
Decrease angle of attack and increase power
Which can result when operating in the region of reverse command?
increased nose-up pitch causes increased rate of descent.
What procedure should be used to correct for slight ballooning during landing?
Hold a constant landing attitude.
