Maneuver Objective Statements

Question 1

Turns Around a Point

Answer 1

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

Question 2

S-Turns

Answer 2

To teach a 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 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 constant altitude and airspeed while using inside and outside references.

Question 4

Steep Turns

Answer 4

1. ) To develop a pilot’s skill in flight control smoothness and coordination
2. ) An awareness of the airplane’s orientation to outside references
3. ) Division of attention between flight control application
4. ) The constant need to scan for hazards.

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 indication such as a stall horn 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 or departure configuration.

Question 8

Accelerated Stall Demonstration

Answer 8

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

Question 9

V_mc Demo

Answer 9

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

Question 10

LODC (loss of directional control)

Answer 10

I know I have lost directional control when I have full rudder deflection into the operating engine and the aircraft BEGINS to yaw into the INOP engine.

Question 11

Drag Demo

Answer 11

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