Maneuvers Flashcards
Climb to cruise
200 ft prior to level-off altitude, begin lowering the nose toward the level flight attitude
Trim for acceleration
5 knots prior to desired cruise speed:
Power- smoothly reduce to normal cruise, 54% (fast cruise, 80%)
Attitude- set level flight picture
Trim- remove pressure and coordinate
Lowering the nose to the level flight attitude immediately instead of TOWARDS the level flight attitude. Remember the airspeed is still slow.
Not trimming during the transition
Cruise to descent
Power- smoothly reduce to 20
Attitude- 5 nose low; clearing turns
Trim- power reduction; relieve pressures
Descent to cruise
100 ft prior, simultaneously:
Power- ~54/~80
Attitude- nose level
Trim- power addition; pressure
Cruise to climb
Power- smoothly to max
Attitude- 12-15 nose high (slightly above 180)
Trim- power addition; pressure
As speed approaches 180 go to 8 degrees nose high
Power on turning stall

Min 13,500 msl entry Checklist Clear: TCAS below Roll out of clearing turn, power idle Nose 30 high on PFD, wings level Acknowledge horn Stick shaker, rudder in direction of clearing turn Nose pitches down Full rudder Altitude, AOA, airspeed, turn needle
Takeoff
200 ft of hold short switch to tower Receive and repeat clearance Lineup checklist Note winds 30%, engine instruments check Reference horizon 2-3 sec Max power, slight right aileron for TQ effect Right rudder 60 knots, XXX% 85 rotate to 8 degrees smoothly 2 positive rates, gear Trim left and down (airspeed increase) Above 110, flaps Gear up, flaps up, xxx knots Level off at 700-800 msl Upwind numbers turn to heading Clear, click, climb, call
Power on stall
Configuration: clean, finish above 6000 agl Checklist Clear PCL: w30-60 Pitch: 15-40 Relax, max, level, ball AOA: 14-17.9
Slip
Simulate slip to HK at 125, clean May use 120, gear down Lower wing, apply top rudder Remain below 150 if full rudder used At least 2000 fpm descent
Outlying field entry
Determine duty runway
Initial point:
- on extended runway centerline and on runway heading
- wings level
- break altitude (1400/1300/1200)
- 200 kias
Radio call
Maintain altitude, airspeed, traffic pattern, and airspeed
The break
Proper interval Execute break Clear in direction of turn 45-60 aob, idle-10%, extend speed break, maintain altitude, trim "Below 150, Gear", "Clear" 3/4-1 wtd half way through turn to DW Slow to 120, trim Descend to pattern altitude at 120 Flaps as req Power: 31/42/52 Attitude : 4/3/1 Trim Before landing checklist
Downwind Leg
Before landing checklist 3/4-1 wtd 900/1000/1100 120 kias 31/42/52 4/3/1 Trim

Final
Maintain pitch with slight power reduction Aimpoint 1/2 way up windscreen Aimpoint= control stick Glidepath= power Decelerate= slight power reduction, trim nose up Centerline= wing low, top rudder Windsock "Gear down, light checked"
Landing transition to TD
5-10’ AGL smoothly reduce PCl near idle
Back stick pressure to land nose high
No higher than 8 degrees (tail strike)
Roll-out
Maintain flared back stick pressure
Slightly reduce back stick pressure but still maintain
Rudders only for directional control
Full stop
