Maneuvers

Question 1

Pre-Maneuver Checklist

Answer 1

Gas- Adequate
Mixture- Full Rich
Switches- Lights and Fuel Pump ON

Question 2

Steep Turns

Answer 2

1. Pre-Maneuver Checklist
2. Select altitude for task to be completed no lower than 1,500’ AGL
3. Select outside visual reference, bug reference heading
4. Enter at cruise speed (100 - 115 KIAS)
5. Establish a single 360º turn with a 45º bank angle
6. Roll out smoothly on original heading

Question 3

Slow Flight

Answer 3

1. Pre-Maneuver Checklist
2. Select altitude for task to be completed no lower than 1,500’ AGL
3. Select outside visual reference, bug reference heading
4. Reduce power, maintain heading and altitude as the airplane slows.
5. Flaps in smoothly to FULL when able
6. Maintain 60 - 65 KIAS, power as necessary (or just above the stall warning horn)
7. On recovery, full power, retract flaps to 25º
8. Reaching approximately 70 KIAS retract flaps to 10º
9. Reaching approximately 80 KIAS retract flaps to 0º
10. Maintain altitude and heading throughout the recovery

Question 4

Power Off Stall

Answer 4

1. Pre-Maneuver Checklist
2. Select altitude for task to be completed no lower than 1,500’ AGL
3. Select outside visual reference, bug reference heading
4. Reduce power, maintain heading and altitude as the airplane slows.
5. Flaps in sequence to FULL
6. Descend at 65 KIAS to simulate a descent to landing.
7. Pitch up to 8º to 12º above the horizon simulating a flare. Hold this angle.
8. Once stall occurs, recover by simultaneously reducing angle of attack, adding FULL POWER,
   and retracting flaps to 25º
9. Reaching 70 to 80 KIAS and positive rate, retract flaps to 10º
10. Reaching 90 KIAS and positive rate, retract flaps to 0º

Question 5

Power ON Stall

Answer 5

1. Pre-Maneuver Checklist
2. Select altitude for task to be completed no lower than 1,500’ AGL
3. Select outside visual reference, bug reference heading
4. Reduce power, maintain heading and altitude as the airplane slows.
5. Reaching 70 - 75 KIAS, simultaneously increase pitch, and apply Full Power
6. Slowly increase pitch to 20º - 22º above the horizon and hold this angle.
7. Upon reaching full stall condition, recover by reducing the
   angle of attack, then pitch for climb
8. Level off and return to cruise flight

Question 6

Normal Take-off

Answer 6

1. Complete Before Take-off Checklist and Take-off Briefing
2. Once clearance is obtained to take-off, visually check final for traffic and verify Runway with a
   callout, “Runway ____ verified”
3. Line up on centerline and smoothly advance throttle to FULL POWER
4. Callout “airspeed alive”
5. Accelerate to VR 60 KIAS, apply backpressure, and allow the airplane to lift off.
6. Pitch for 7.5º-10º and climb out at Vy (76 KIAS)
7. Maintain coordination with right rudder
8. Maintain runway centerline using wind drift correction
9. At 1,000’ AGL, perform Climb Checklist

Question 7

Normal Landing

Answer 7

1. Perform the Before Landing Checklist before entering the pattern.
2. Enter downwind on a 45º angle at midfield
3. Downwind- reduce power and slow to around 100 KIAS
4. Abeam touchdown point: reduce power to 1,500 - 1,900 RPM, check speed and extend flaps to
   10º slowing to approximately 90 KIAS
5. Base- extend flaps to 25º slowing to 80 KIAS
6. Final- extend flaps to 40º, slowing to 70 KIAS, aiming for the runway numbers.
7. Flare so that the main tires touchdown first at near stalling speed, gently letting the nose down
   on the centerline
8. Align the longitudinal axis of the aircraft with the centerline using rudder correction
9. Use brakes as necessary
