Energy Loser

Question 4

TP Overshooting (Nose Low) Stall

Answer 4

120 KIAS minimum (configured)
LDG, TO, or Up
2,500 ft Below
3NM all directions

Simulated Final Turn
10-15% Torque
30* AOB 
Then PCL idle 
Increase bank and back stick pressure to approach stall indication

Max, Relax, Roll
Minimize altitude loss
Chase stick shaker (15.5-18units)

Recover complete when wings level and safely climbing

Question 5

TP Undershooting (Nose High) Stall

Answer 5

120 KIAS minimum (configured)
2,500ft below
3NM all directions

Initiate base turn 
30* AOB 
Pull power to idle
Reduce to 20* AOB
Pitch NH to approach to stall indication 

Max Relax Roll
Chase stick shaker (15.5-18units)
Recovered when wings level and climbing

Question 6

TP Landing Attitude Stall

Answer 6

5-10 knots above final approach speed for flaps setting (configured)
2,500ft below
3NM all directions

Pull power to Idle
Simulated round out for landing
Hold landing attitude constant until approach to stall indication

Max, Relax, Roll
Don’t allow 3point touchdown or nose first touchdown
Chase stick shaker(15.5-18units)
Recovered when wings level and safely climbing

Question 7

TP Closed Pull Up Stall

Answer 7

Departure leg
140KIAS

Overly aggressive closed turn

First approach to stall indication
Reduce back stick pressure and rapidly roll wings level

Reduced torque may be necessary in a left closed turn

Question 8

TP Break Stall

Answer 8

200 KIAS
Simulate normal break turn
60* AOB
10% Torque

Midway through increase bank and back stick pressure until approach to stall indication

Recover by decreasing AOA
Adjust bank as necessary to continue turn to simulated downwind

Start with Max Relax Roll

Question 9

Aileron Roll

Answer 9

180-220 KIAS
80% - Max Torque

20-30* NH initial pull up
Constant roll
Pass inverted flight with nose above horizon

Question 10

Split S

Answer 10

• diving 180* heading reversal

Entry:
120-140
Idle - 80% Torque

Initial Pull Up:
40KIAS above briefed entry airspeed
20* NH
Relax back stick pressure and pause before next step

Roll Inverted:
20KIAS above briefed entry airspeed

Straight Pull Through:
B/w 120-140 knots
Max nose track (15.5-17units)
AGSM w/ 3-4Gs

Maneuver Completion:
Relax back stick pressure at approximate lead point
Don’t overshoot level flight

Question 11

G Awareness Exercise (GX)

Answer 11

200-220 KIAS 
80% - Max Torque
3-4Gs 
180* of Turn
4 - 5 AGSMs
Bank as required (~80* AOB)

“Ready for G’s?”

Question 12

Lazy 8

Answer 12

200-220 KIAS
50-60% Torque
2,000 ft above, 1,000ft below

Increase NH pitch with shallow bank

As NH reaches 45* you should be 45* through turn

At peak of the first leaf 80-90* AOB and nose on the horizon

As you pass 135* of turn, nose should be 45* NL

Blend stick pressures and rudders to level off at entry airspeed to complete first 180* of turn

Complete opposite direction lead turn in same manner.

Question 13

Barrel Roll

Answer 13

200-220 KIAS
80% - Max Torque
2,000ft above 1,000ft below

Select reference point

Place nose 45* off of reference point

Increase pitch and bank. As you reach 90* AOB you should be directly above reference

Decrease backstick pressure and increase bank. Plan roll so you reach inverted flight as wings are level. (Should be same distance from reference as when you began maneuver)

Continue roll with increase back stick pressure. Should be 90* AOB directly underneath reference.

Continue roll with increased backstick pressure to roll wings level on the horizon to the right of your reference.

Your nose should draw a circle around the reference in this maneuver

Question 14

Loop

Answer 14

230-250 KIAS
MAX torque
3,000ft above

Smoothly pull nose up to obtain 3-4Gs

Maintain wings level with “wingtip, wingtip, ball”

Should be 100-120 KIAS at top of loop

Pull through and increase G loading again to maintain constant nose track until wings level

Maintaining rudder control is very important

Question 15

Immelmann

Answer 15

230-250 KIAS
MAX torque
3,000ft above

First half of a loop (3 - 4Gs)

When about 10* NH inverted ease backstick pressure and roll to level flight.

Should be 100-120 KIAS in level flight. Pause for a moment and maneuver is complete.

Question 16

Cuban Eight

Answer 16

230 - 250 KIAS
MAX torque
3,000ft above

Perform first half of loop until 45* NL

Perform aileron roll to the right

Maintain 45* NL until beginning pull up for second loop

Initial second pull up 35-40 KIAS below entry airspeed, but trying to attain entry airspeed and wings pass level flight

Perform loop and continue until 45* NL inverted

Perform aileron roll to the left (opp direction as first roll)

Level off at entry altitude
