Q

Maneuvers:

VMC Demonstration

A

At or above 4,000’ AGL

  1. Clearing turns.
  2. Flaps-up, gear-up.
  3. Mixtures-Enrichen, Props-Fwd, Fuel Pumps-On.
  4. Slowly close left throttle while maintaining heading and altitude.
  5. Slow to 100 KIAS (approx. 10 KIAS above VYSE).
  6. Slowly increase right throttle (operating engine) to full power. Use rudder to maintain directional control and bank up to 5º towards the operating engine.
  7. Increase pitch attutde slowly, decrease airspeed at approximately 1 knot per second until full rudder is applied to maintian directional control.
  8. Recover at first sign of:
    1. Loss of directional control.
    2. First indication of stall (stall horn or buffet).
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Accelerate to 82-88 KIAS.
  12. Bring throttles slowly together to 20” MP.
