Maneuver Objectives/Standards

Question 1

Steep Turns

Answer 1

Objective: To teach the student to fly in a steep bank, max performance turn while using inside and outside references.
Airspeed:  +/- 10 KIAS
Altitude: +/- 100’
Bank: 50 degrees, +/- 5 degrees
Heading: +/- 10 degrees
Configuration: Cruise

Question 2

Slow Flight

Answer 2

Objective: To teach the student positive aircraft control at the speed in which any increase in AOA, increase in load factor or reduction in power would result in a stall indication such as a stall horn, or aerodynamic buffet.
Airspeed: 60-65 KIAS +5/-0
Altitude:  +/- 50’
Bank: +/- 5 degrees
Heading:  +/- 10 degrees

Question 3

Power Off Stall

Answer 3

Objective: To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the landing configuration.
Airspeed: Establish 400FPM decent at 75 KIAS, recover at Vx then Vy
Altitude: Altitude that allows the maneuver to be completed at or above 3,000’ AGL
Bank: +/- 10 degrees, not to exceed 20 degrees of bank
Heading: +/- 10 degrees

Question 4

Power On Stall

Answer 4

Objective: To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in takeoff/departure configuration
Airspeed: Slow to 80 KIAS, recover at Vx, then Vy
Altitude: An entry altitude that will allow the maneuver to completed at or above 3,000’ AGL
Bank: +/- 10 degrees, not to exceed 20 degrees of bank
Heading: +/- 10 degrees

Question 5

Accelerated Stall

Answer 5

Objective: To demonstrate to the student that the aircraft will stall at a higher airspeed under increased load factor.
Airspeed: Slow to 100 KIAS and then set power to idle
Bank: 45 degrees

Question 6

Vmc Demo

Answer 6

Objective: To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a loss of directional control with the critical engine inoperative
Airspeed: Slow to 100 KIAS, then increase power on operating engine and start to pitch up
Altitude: At or above 4,000’ AGL
Bank: Max 5 degrees
Heading: Recover within 20 degrees of entry heading

Question 7

Drag Demo

Answer 7

Objective: To demonstrate to the student the effects on the aircraft performance under various configurations
Airspeed: Slow to 88 KIAS, then start configuring

Question 8

Turns Around a Point

Answer 8

Objective: To teach the student how to keep a constant radius around a point while correcting for wind using both inside and outside references
Airspeed: +/- 10 KIAS
Altitude: 600’-1,000’ AGL, +/- 100’

Question 9

S-Turns

Answer 9

Objective: To teach the 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.
Airspeed: +/- 10KIAS
Altitude: 600’-1,000’ AGL, +/- 100’

Question 10

Rectangular Course

Answer 10

Objective: 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 both inside and outside references.
Airspeed: +/- 10KIAS
Altitude: 600’-1,000’ AGL, +/- 100’
