Maneuver Objectives Flashcards
S Turns Objective
To teach the learner how to fly a series of S turns comprised of semi-circles of equal size and shape across a linear ground feature accounting for wind effects while maintaining altitude and airspeed using outside/inside references.
S Turns Tolerances
- Enter on the downwind
- 600-1000’ AGL
- +/- 10 (100kts)
- +/- 100 feet
Turns Around a Point Objective
To teach the learner how to maintain a constant radius around a point while correcting for wind using outside/inside references.
Turns Around a Point Tolerances
- Enter on the Downwind
- 600-1000’ AGL
- +/- 10 (100kts)
- +/- 100 feet
Rectangular Course
To teach the learner how to fly along a ground track equidistant from all sides of a rectangular area on the ground while accounting for wind effects, maintaining altitude, and airspeed using outside and inside references.
Rectangular Course Tolerances
- Enter on the downwind
- 600-1000’ AGL
- +/- 10 (100kts)
- +/- 100 feet
Eights on Pylons Objective
To develop the pilot’s ability to maneuver the plane accurately while dividing their attention between the flight path and the selected points on the ground.
Eights on Pylons Tolerances
- Enter 45˚ to the downwind
- Pivotal Altitude (groundspeed2 / 11.3)
- 100 knots
- Not to exceed 40 degrees of bank
- Maintain pylon position avoiding slips and skids
Slow Flight Objective
To teach the learner positive aircraft control at a speed where any increase in the angle of attack or load factor, or reduction in power will result in a stall warning or aerodynamic buffet.
Slow Flight Tolerances
- Above 1500’ AGL
- +5/-0 VS
- +/- 5 Bank
- +/- 10 Heading
- +/- 50 feet
Power Off Stall Objective
To teach the learner to recognize and recover from a stall in the landing configuration.
Power Off Stall Tolerances
- Above 1500’ AGL
- +/- 5 Bank
- +/- 10 Heading
Power On Stall Objective
To teach the learner to recognize and recover from a stall in the takeoff or departure configuration.
Power On Stall Tolerances
- Above 1500’ AGL
- +/-10 Bank
- +/- 10 Heading
Accelerated Stall Objective
To demonstrate to the learner that the aircraft will stall at a higher airspeed at an increased load factor.
