Maneuvers

Question 1

Side Slip Definition

Answer 1

Slip your plane sideways

• When you are off center and want to slip towards the center
• When you are landing in a cross wind, slip into the wind

Question 2

Side Slip technique

Answer 2

Use your AILERON first to slip in the direction you want and use JUST enough opposite rudder to keep the nose straight. Very different from forward slip

Question 3

Forward Slip Definition

Answer 3

Lose most of amount of altitude without gaining air speed by exposing a lot of the fuselage. Also used for descents when you can’t see through the front because of a fire or something

Question 4

Forward Slip Technique

Answer 4

Use your rudder full on and use just enough opposite aileron to keep the plane tracking the way you want

Question 5

5 Steps of Landing

Answer 5

1. Base Leg
2. Final Approach - Speed and Descent constant and stable. Watch for the vanishing point
3. Roundout - Start looking to the end of the runway
4. Flare or Touchdown - Let the nose sink on its own
5. After Landing Roll

Question 6

Approach Stall

Answer 6

LCGUMPS (Lights, Carb Heat, Gas Fuel Pump, Undercarriage, Mixture Rich, Props, Seat Belts)

1500 RPM, One notch of flaps, and the Landing configuration - 65KTS at Idle

Try not to lose altitude with elevator pressure until you are all the way back and hear the stall horn and aircraft flops and pitches down

Increase to full power and pitch the nose down and slowy level off and into a climb and reduce flaps
