Maneuver Objective Statements Flashcards
The big question of "Why?"... Why do we do these maneuvers and what do we hope our students will take away from them?
Turns Around a Point
To teach the student how to keep a constant radius around a point while correcting for wind using inside and outside references.
S-Turns
To teach a student how to fly a series of S-Turns across a linear ground feature, with semicircles of equal size and shape, accounting for wind effects while maintaining constant altitude and airspeed.
Rectangular Course
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 constant altitude and airspeed while using inside and outside references.
Steep Turns
To teach the student to fly in a steep bank, maximum performance turn while using inside and outside references.
Slow Flight
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 an immediate stall.
Power Off Stall
To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the landing configuration.
Power On Stall
To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the takeoff or departure configuration.
Accelerated Stall Demonstration
To demonstrate to the student that the aircraft will stall at a higher airspeed under increased load factor.
Vmc Demo
To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a loss of directional control.
Drag Demo
To demonstrate to the student the effects on aircraft performance under various configurations.
