Maneuvers:
VMC Demonstration
At or above 4,000’ AGL
- Clearing turns.
- Flaps-up, gear-up.
- Mixtures-Enrichen, Props-Fwd, Fuel Pumps-On.
- Slowly close left throttle while maintaining heading and altitude.
- Slow to 100 KIAS (approx. 10 KIAS above VYSE).
- Slowly increase right throttle (operating engine) to full power. Use rudder to maintain directional control and bank up to 5º towards the operating engine.
- Increase pitch attutde slowly, decrease airspeed at approximately 1 knot per second until full rudder is applied to maintian directional control.
- Recover at first sign of:
- Loss of directional control.
- First indication of stall (stall horn or buffet).
- Recover promptly by simultaneously reductin gpower sufficiently on the operating engine while decreasing the angle of attack as neccessary to regain directional control within 20º of entry heading.
- Continue recovery by increasing power slowly on operating engine while maintaining an AOA that allows for airspeed to increase to a point where directional control can be maintained with a minimum loss of altitude.
- Accelerate to 82-88 KIAS.
- Bring throttles slowly together to 20” MP.
- “Cruise Checklist.”
Maneuvers:
Power-On Stall
Stalls are to be accomplished above 4,000’ AGL.
- Clearing turns.
- Set takeoff or departure configuration as specified by the Examiner:
- Takeoff configuration (Gear Down, Flaps 0º).
- Departure configuration (Gear Up, Flaps 0º).
- Mixtures - Enrichen, Props - Fwd, Fuel Pumps - On.
- Slow to 80 KIAS, liftoff speed.
- Maintain selected heading or establish a 15º - bank turn, as specified by the Examiner.
- Transition smoothly to approx. 15º pitch-up while increasing power to 18” MP.
- Acknowledge stall cues and recover promptly at the first indication of an impending stall.
- Simultaneously reduce angle-of-attack, set max power, and level wings.
- Accelerate to 82 KIAS (VX), establish a positive rate of climb.
- Retract gear (if extended), accelerate to 88 KIAS (VY).
- “Cruise Checklist.”
