Steep Spiral Objective
To teach the student to fly in a simulated emergency situation where the aircraft is required to descend in a constant radius about a suitable ground reference point as rapidly as possible to a forced landing area.
Steep Spiral Tolerances
Recover above 1500' AGL \+/- 10 kts (90 knots) <60˚ bank \+/- 10 on specified Heading 3 full turns clearing once per 360˚ rotation

Secondary Stall (Power on) Flow
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- 1500 RPM (maintain altitude)
- Clean configuration flow
- At 60 KIAS, simultaneously increase pitch (slowly) and apply full power
- Increase pitch attitude to induce stall
- At stall, recover – simultaneously reduce AOA, max power, and level
wings - When stall horn silences, increase pitch to induce a secondary stall
- At stall, recover – simultaneously reduce AOA, max power, and level
wings - “Cruise Checklist”
Secondary Stall (Power Off)
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- 1500 RPM (maintain altitude)
- Landing configuration flow
- Stabilized descent at 66 KIAS
- Throttle idle (slowly)
- Maintain altitude to induce stall
- At stall, recover – simultaneously reduce AOA and level wings (do not
add power) - When stall horn silences, increase pitch to induce a secondary stall
- At stall, recover – simultaneously reduce AOA, max power, and level
wings - Slowly retract flaps to 10˚
- Accelerate to 64 KIAS (VX), positive rate
- Retract flaps to 0˚
- “Cruise Checklist”
Elevator Trim Stall Flow
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- 1500 RPM (maintain altitude)
- Landing configuration flow
- Trim for stabilized descent at 66 KIAS
- Apply full power (slowly)
- Allow the nose to rise and turn left
- When stall is approaching (high AOA) recover – simultaneously reduce
AOA, max power, and level wings - Adjust trim while accelerating to VX
- Slowly retract flaps to 10°
- Accelerate to 64 KIAS (VX), positive rate
- Retract flaps to 0°
- “Cruise Checklist”
Cross Controlled Stall Flow
- Perform two 90° clearing turns
- 1500 RPM (maintain altitude)
- Clean configuration flow
- Stabilized descent at 66 KIAS
- Establish a 30˚ banked turn
- Smoothly apply excessive rudder pressure in the direction of the turn
- As rudder pressure increases, opposite aileron will be necessary to
maintain constant bank angle - Increase aft elevator pressure
- At first indication of stall, recover – simultaneously reduce AOA, max
power, and level wings - “Cruise Checklist”
