Maneuvers

Question 1

Normal TO

Answer 1

• flaps 0
• full power
• rotate at 75 KIAS
• climb at 88 KIAS
• positive rate = retract gear
• 1000’ AGL = pitch for 105 KIAS, 25” MAP, 2500 RPM

Question 2

Normal Landing

Answer 2

• downwind 100 KIAS
• before landing checklist
• abeam touchdown = gear down, flaps 10
• base = flaps 25, airspeed 90 KIAS
• final = flaps full, airspeed 80 KIAS
• short final = GUMPS, airspeed 72 KIAS

Question 3

Short field TO

Answer 3

• flaps 0
• all available runway
• full power with brakes full
• rotate at 70 KIAS
• climb at 82 KIAS
• positive rate = retract gear
• clear of 50’ obstacle = accelerate to 88 KIAS
• 1000’ AGL = pitch for 105 KIAS, 25” MAP, 2500 RPM

Question 4

Short field Landing

Answer 4

• downwind 100 KIAS
• before landing checklist
• abeam touchdown = gear down, flaps 10
• base = flaps 25, airspeed 90 KIAS
• final = flaps full, airspeed 80 KIAS
• short final = GUMPS, airspeed 72 KIAS
• touchdown 3rd centerline stripe
• raise flaps, back pressure, max wheel braking

Question 5

Slow flight

Answer 5

Entry:
- clearing turns
- cowl flaps open
- throttles to 15” MAP
- gear down below 140 KIAS
- full flaps below 111 KIAS
- props high RPM
- maintain heading & altitude while reducing airspeed
- power to maintain minimum controllable airspeed
Recovery:
- props high RPM
- throttles full
- flap, gear, flap, flap
- cowl flaps as required
- assume cruise airspeed and power

Question 6

Power off stall

Answer 6

Min altitude 3000’ AGL
Entry:
- clearing turns
- throttles to 15” MAP
- gear down below 140 KIAS
- full flaps below 111 KIAS
- props high RPM
- stabilize airplane at 80 KIAS
- throttles idle
- pitch for a stall
- recover at first indication
Recovery:
- reduce angle of attack
- pitch for Vy
- props full forward
- throttle full forward
- flap, gear, flap, flap
- resume cruise airspeed and power

Question 7

Departure stall

Answer 7

Min altitude 3000’ AGL
Entry:
- clearing turns
- throttles to 15” MAP
- cowl flaps open
- props high RPM
- at 75 KIAS - apply 20” MAP (65% power)
- gradually increase AOA
- recover at first indication
Recovery:
- reduce angle of attack
- pitch for Vy
- props full forward
- throttles full forward
- resume cruise airspeed and power

Question 8

Accelerated stall

Answer 8

Min altitude 3000’ AGL
Entry:
- clearing turns
- throttles to 15” MAP
- props high RPM
- at 95 KIAS - enter and maintain 45 degree bank
- increase backpressure til first indication of stall occurs
Recovery:
- release backpressure
- props high RPM
- throttles full forward
- recover to straight and level attitude
- return to cruise configuration when cruise airspeed is established

Question 9

Steep turns

Answer 9

• clearing turns
• power as required, approx. 2300 RPM, 21” MAP
• airspeed 120 KIAS
• 50 degree bank for two 360 turns

Question 10

VMC Demo (To first stall indication)

Answer 10

Min altitude 4000’ AGL
Setup:
- clearing turns
- throttles to 15” MAP
- cowl flaps open on op engine, closed on inop engine
- landing gear retracted
- flaps up
- mixture full rich
- props high RPM
- throttle to idle on 1 engine, at approx. 90 KIAS
- throttle full forward on remaining engine
Entry:
- slowly reduce airspeed while maintaining directional control with rudder and aileron
- establish bank angle into op engine (not to exceed 5)
- at first indication of stall, initiate recovery
Recovery:
- reduce AOA by lowering nose, simultaneously reducing power on the op engine to regain directional control & airspeed
- pitch to maintain VYSE
- announce maneuver complete

Question 11

VMC Demo (To loss of control)

Answer 11

Min altitude 4000’ AGL
Setup:
- clearing turns
- throttles to 15” MAP
- cowl flaps open on op engine, closed on inop engine
- landing gear retracted
- flaps up
- mixture full rich
- props high RPM
- throttle to idle on 1 engine, at approx. 90 KIAS
- throttle full forward on remaining engine
Entry:
- slowly reduce airspeed while maintaining directional control with only rudder
- ailerons remain neutral
- at first indication of loss of directional control or reaching VMC, initiate recovery
Recovery:
- reduce AOA by lowering nose, simultaneously reducing power on the op engine to regain directional control & airspeed
- pitch to maintain VYSE
- announce maneuver complete

Question 12

Simulated emergency descent

Answer 12

Entry:
- clearing turns
- carb heat on
- throttle idle
- prop full forward (above 100 KIAS)
- landing gear extend below 140 KIAS
- full flaps below 111
- bank 30-45 degrees
- maintain 111 KIAS
Recovery: No lower than 1,000’ AGL
- mixture rich
- add full power
- establish pitch attitude to maintain level attitude (pitch up to avoid overspeeding flaps)
- flap, gear, flap, flap
- accelerate to 88 KIAS & establish positive rate of climb
