Question 5

Turns Around a Point / S Turns

Answer 5

6. Perform Cruise Checklist when appropriate

Question 7

Steep Spiral

Answer 7

1. Perform Pre-Maneuver Checklist
2. Establish flight path into Upwind
3. Select ground reference point
4. When directly over the point, reduce power to idle and slow to 85 KIAS
5. Adjust bank as necessary to keep point at a fixed distance up to 60° Bank
6. After completion of each 360° turn Clear Engine (power to 2000rpms momentarily)
7. Exit maneuver on specified heading, resume normal cruise
8. Perform Cruise Checklist when appropriate
