Maneuvers

Question 1

Rectangular Course Tenets

Answer 1

-1000 AGL (KJVL 1800’)
-Enter/exit 45 degrees to downwind leg
-90 KIAS
-Crab to stay on course

Question 2

S-Turn Tenets

Answer 2

-1000 AGL (KJVL 1800’)
-Enter perpendicular to wind
-90-95 KIAs (1700 RPM)
-180 degree turn to center point, followed by another 180 degree turn to the opposite direction of identical size
-Wings level at centerline
-High ground speed= high bank
-Low ground speed= low bank

Question 3

Turns Around A Point Tenets

Answer 3

-1000 AGL (KJVL 1800’)
-90 KIAS (1700 RPM)
-Enter on a downwind
-45 degree turn and adjust as needed to keep course

Question 4

Entering a Power On Stall

Answer 4

Power, pitch, trim
-RPM 1700-1800
-maintain elevation, nose to horizon
-trim off until level

Slow to 55-60 KIAS
Power 2200-2300
Yoke back to stall

Question 5

Entering a Power Off Stall
and Recovering

Answer 5

Power, Pitch, Trim
-Slow to 1500 rpm
-Level flight
Below 110, flaps 10
Below 85 flaps 20 then 30
75
65 trim for descent
Power to idle to transition
Yoke pull to stall

Recover:
Yoke neutral
Power smoothly/slowly to full
AND
Right rudder
DO NOT LOSE ALTITUDE
Nose in a climb
Pitch for 74

Question 6

Entering Slow Flight

Answer 6

Decrease airspeed (1600 rpm, adjust as needed)
Full flaps (flaps 10 below 110, flaps 20 below 85, flaps 30)
Maintain altitude, nose to horizon
Goal is 60 KIAS

Question 7

Exiting Slow Flight

Answer 7

Power full
Nose level
Immediate flaps 20
60 flaps 10
65 flaps 0

Question 8

How do you know when to roll out of a steep turn or directional turn?

Answer 8

Half the distance of the bank angle.

Steep turn is 45 degrees. Roll out 22-23 degrees before bug of starting heading.

Question 9

Soft Field Takeoff

Answer 9

Before runway:
-flaps 10
-yoke full back

Runway:
Do not brake
Yoke full back
Throttle slowly full
Rotate at minimum lift speed
Let yoke go forward, maintain back pressure
Stay in ground effect, push yoke forward
Accelerate to Vx
Once clear of 50’ obstacle climb out at Vy, retract flaps

Question 10

Soft Field Landing

Answer 10

Normal flaps, angle of attack
Landing speed 61 KIAS
Pull throttle to idle
Bump of power through transition
Float as long as possible
Firm back pressure to avoid nose wheel touchdown
Continue holding off until exit runway

Question 11

Short Field Takeoff

Answer 11

Before runway:
Flaps 10

Takeoff:
Use maximum amount of runway, beginning of threshold
Hold brakes
Full throttle, RPM 2300, Engine green, release brakes
Rotate 51 KIAS
Climb Vx

Question 12

Short Field Landing

Answer 12

Full flaps
61 KIAS on final
Maintain altitude to clear 50’ obstacle then descend
Steep descent
Throttle idle after clear obstacle
Landing point at threshold
On touchdown, flaps retract, brakes hard apply, yoke pull full
