Maneuver Objective Statements

Question 1

Turns around a point

Answer 1

To teach the student how to maintain a constant radius around a point while correcting for wind using inside and outside references

Question 2

S-turns

Answer 2

To teach the student how to fly a series of S-turns across a linear ground feature, with semi-circles of equal size and shape, accounting for wind effects while maintaining a constant altitude and airspeed.

Question 3

Rectangular course

Answer 3

To teach the student how to fly a ground track equidistant from all sides of a rectangular area on the ground, accounting for wind effects while maintaining a constant altitude and airspeed while using inside and outside references.

Question 4

Steep turns

Answer 4

To teach the student to fly in a steep bank, maximum performance turn while using inside and outside references.

Question 5

Slow flight

Answer 5

To teach the student positive aircraft control at the speed in which any increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or reduction in power would result in a stall warning or aerodynamic buffet.

Question 6

Power off stall

Answer 6

To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the landing configuration.

Question 7

Power on stall

Answer 7

To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the takeoff and departure configuration.

Question 8

Accelerated stall demo

Answer 8

To demonstrate to the student that the aircraft will stall at a higher airspeed under an increased load factor.

Question 9

Vmc demo

Answer 9

To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a loss of directional control.

Question 10

Drag demo

Answer 10

To demonstrate to the student the effects on aircraft performance under various configurations.
