Question 1

Power off stall

Answer 1

To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the landing configuration.

+-10° bank, no more than 20° turning, 10° heading, +1500’ AGL

Question 2

Power on stall

Answer 2

To teach the student how to recognize and recover from a stall in the takeoff or departure configuration.

10° bank, no more than 20° turning, 10° heading, +1500’ AGL

Question 3

Eights on pylons (Com. ground ref.)

Answer 3

To fly around each pylon at the exact pivotal altitude.

Pivotal altitude

Question 4

Lazy eights

Answer 4

To perform consecutive matching 180-degree turns with constantly changing pitch, bank, and airspeed.

180° point = +-100’, +-10 kts, +- 10° heading, +1,500 AGL

Question 5

Cross controlled stall

Answer 5

To demonstrate and recover from a stall during in uncoordinated turn.

+3,000 AGL

Question 6

Accelerated stall (com)

Answer 6

To demonstrate to the student that the aircraft will stall at higher AirSpeed under increased load factor.

+3,000’ AGL, 45° bank

Question 7

Slow flight

Answer 7

To understand the flight characteristics and how the airplanes flight controls feel near its aerodynamic buffet or stall warning.

Commercial
+- 5° bank, +- 50’, +5/-0 kts, +- 10° heading, +1,500’ AGL
Private
+- 10° bank, +- 100’, +10/-0 kts, +- 10° heading, +1,500’ AGL

Question 8

Chandelles (com)

Answer 8

Perform a maximum performance 180-degree climbing turn while demonstrating advanced airmanship skill.

+- 10° heading, just above stall

Question 9

Steep spirals (com)

Answer 9

To perform at least three consecutive, steepbank gliding turns around a reference point at a constant AirSpeed compensating for wind drift.

Entry 3,000’ AGL, Finish +1,500 AGL, +- 10 it’s, +-10° heading

Question 10

Steep turns

Answer 10

To teach the student to fly in a steep Bank, maximum performance turn while using inside and outside references.

Private 45° +- 5° bank, +- 100’, +-10 kts, +- 10° heading, +3,000’ AGL
Com 50°

Question 11

Secondary stall

Answer 11

To demonstrate and recover from a stall occurring after an incorrect recovery from a power off or power on stall.

Question 12

Elevator trim stall

Answer 12

To demonstrate and recover from a stall resulting from a loss of pitch control during a go around.

Question 13

Turns around a point

Answer 13

To teach the student how to keep a constant radius around a point while correcting for wind using inside and outside references 360 degree turn from controller.

Question 14

S turns across a road

Answer 14

to teach the student how to fly a series of s turns across a linear ground feature, with semi-circles of equal size and shape, accounting for wind effects while maintaining constant altitude and airspeed.

Question 15

Rectangular course

Answer 15

to teach the student how to fly a ground track equidistant from all sides of a rectangular area on the ground, accounting for wind effects while maintaining constant altitude and AirSpeed while using inside and outside references.

Question 16

Aiming point

Answer 16

this is the point on the ground at which, if the airplane maintains constant glidepath and wasn’t flared for landing, it would contact the ground.

Question 17

Maneuvering speed

Answer 17

is the max speed at which, a full abrupt control input in a single axis can be made without structural damage to the aircraft. At speeds below maneuvering speed, the aircraft will stall before exceeding the design limit load factor. At air speeds above maneuvering speed, the design limit load factor will be exceeded before the aircraft stalls.

Question 18

Stabilized approach

Answer 18

this is an approach in which the pilot establishes and maintains a constant glide path towards a predetermined point on the landing runway. It is based on the pilot’s judgement of certain visual cues and depends on a constant final descent AirSpeed and configuration.
