Question 2

Descent

Answer 2

P.A.T.- power, attitude, trim
-reduce power 
-establish pitch
-trim
Decent to pattern 90 kts
Cruise descent 90 to 105 kts

Question 3

Descent to Straight and Level Transition

Answer 3

• PAT
• Increase power to normal cruise setting
• adjust rudder to pressure to compensate for yaw
• trim

Question 4

Left Climbing Turn

Answer 4

• apply left aileron and decrease right rudder as turn is established
• once turn is established, neutralize aileron and hold right rudder pressure

Question 5

Right Climbing turn

Answer 5

Apply right aileron and increase right rudder pressure as turn is indicated
-when rolling out apply left aileron and decrease right rudder pressure

Question 6

Climb to Straight and Level Transition

Answer 6

Lead off off by 10 percent of vertical speed

• P.A.T
• lower nose to level pitch
• reduce power to desired setting
• release right rudder
• trim

Question 7

Climbs

Answer 7

P.A.T

Question 12

Base Leg

Answer 12

• Power as needed
• 20 degree flaps
• Pitch for 70 to 75 KIAS

• Maintain centerline

Question 14

The level off and flare

Answer 14

• Gently apply back pressure to the yoke to begin level off
• slowly flare by transitioning to nose up altitude, power is gradually reduced to idle
