Maneuver Objectives/Standards 2

Question 1

Secondary Stall

Answer 1

Purpose: To demonstrate to the student the effect of attempting to hasten the completion of a stall recovery before the airplane has regained sufficient flying speed.

Common Errors:
1. Failure to establish selected configuration prior to
entry.
2. Improper or inadequate demonstration of the
recognition of and recovery from a secondary stall.
3. Failure to present simulated student instruction that
adequately emphasizes the hazards of poor procedure
in recovering from a primary stall.

Question 2

Elevator Trim Stall

Answer 2

Purpose: To demonstrate to the student what can happen when full power is applied for a go-around and positive control of the airplane is not maintained.

Common Errors:
1. Failure to present simulated student instruction that
adequately emphasizes the hazards of poor correction
for torque and up-elevator trim during go-around and
other maneuvers.
2. Failure to establish selected configuration prior to
entry.
3. Improper or inadequate demonstration of the
recognition of and the recovery from an elevator trim
stall.

Question 3

Cross-Control Stall

Answer 3

Purpose: To demonstrate to the student the effect of improper control technique and to emphasize the importance of using coordinated control pressures whenever making turns.

Common Errors:
1. Failure to establish selected configuration prior to
entry
2. Failure to establish a cross-controlled turn and stall
condition that will adequately demonstrate the hazards
of a cross-controlled stall.
3. Improper or inadequate demonstration of the
recognition and recovery from a cross-controlled stall.
4. Failure to present simulated student instruction that
emphasizes the hazards of a cross-controlled condition
in a gliding or reduced airspeed condition.

Question 4

Eights-on-Pylons

Answer 4

Purpose: To teach the student to develop coordination skills while his or her attention is directed at maintaining a pivotal position on a selected pylon. The student will learn to stay on a line of reference by varying bank and altitude and remaining coordinated.

Standards:
1. Establish the correct bank angle for the conditions, not to exceed 40°

Common Errors:
1. Faulty entry procedure.
2. Poor planning, orientation, and division of attention.
3. Uncoordinated use of flight controls
4. Use of an improper “line-of-sight” reference.
5. Application of rudder alone to maintain “line-of-sight”
on the pylon.
6. Improper planning for turn entries and rollouts.
7. Improper correction for wind drift between pylons.
8. Selection of pylons where there is no suitable
emergency landing area within gliding distance.

Question 5

Chandelles

Answer 5

Purpose: To teach the student to develop coordination, orientation, planning, and accuracy of control during a maximum performance climbing turn.

Standards:
1. Select an altitude that will allow the maneuver to be performed no lower than 1,500 feet
above ground level (AGL)
2. Establish the angle of bank at approximately 30°.
3. Simultaneously apply power and pitch to maintain a smooth, coordinated climbing turn, in either direction, to the 90° point, with a constant bank and continuously decreasing
airspeed
4. Begin a coordinated constant rate rollout from the 90° point to the 180° point maintaining
power and a constant pitch attitude
5. Complete rollout at the 180° point, ±10° just above a stall airspeed, and maintaining that airspeed momentarily avoiding a stall.
6. Resume a straight-and-level flight with minimum loss of altitude.

Common Errors:
1. Improper pitch, bank, and power coordination during
entry or completion.
2. Uncoordinated use of flight controls.
3. Improper planning and timing of pitch and bank attitude changes.
4. Factors related to failure in achieving maximum
performance.
5. A stall during the maneuver.
