Maneuvering During Slow Flight Flashcards
When to Maneuver Slow Flight
Slow flight is to be accomplished at an entry altitude that will allow completion above 1,500’ AGL. The airspeed selected is that which any further increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or reduction in power, would result in an immediate stall.
Step 1
Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
Step 2
1500 RPM (Maintain altitude)
Step 3
Landing configuration flow
Step 4
Maintain altitude - slow to a speed just above a stall
Step 5
Power as required to maintain airspeed and altitude
Step 7
Recover - max power/maintain altitude/ reduce flaps 0 degrees
Step 8
Accelerate to 64 KIAS (Vx)
Step 9
“Cruise Checklist”
Step 6
Accomplish level flight, climbs, turns, and descents as required.
