2) Land straight ahead, brake as required

Question 16

Engine failure after rotation with no runway remaining:

Answer 16

1) Maintain control/pitch for best glide
2) Only shallow turns to avoid obstacles
3) Flaps as necessary for safe touchdown

4) Flaps - 40 degrees

Question 20

Steep Turns (Above 3,000’ AGL)

Answer 20

1) Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
2) 100 KIAS (approx. 2,300 RPM), maintain altitude
3) Cruise configuration flow
4) Roll into 45 degree bank
5) Maintain altitude and airspeed (+back pressure, +approx. 1-200 RPM)
6) Roll out 1/2 bank angle prior to entry heading
7) Clear traffic and roll in opposite direction
8) Roll out 1/2 bank angle prior to entry heading
9) “Cruise Checklist”

Question 21

Maneuvering During Slow Flight (At entry altitude that will allow completion above 1,500’ AGL)

Answer 21

1) Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
2) 1,500 RPM (maintain altitude)
3) Landing configuration flow
4) Maintain altitude - slow to just above stall warning activation (approximately 50-55 KIAS).
5) Power as required to maintain airspeed and altitude
6) Accomplish level flight, climbs, turns, and descents as required without (ATP - max 30 degree bank)
7) Recover - max power/maintain altitude/reduce flaps to 0 degrees
8) Accelerate to 64 KIAS (Vx)
9) “Cruise Checklist”

Question 22

Power-Off Stall (At entry altitude that will allow completion no lower than 1,500’ AGL)

Answer 22

1) Perform two 90 degree clearing turns
2) Approx. 1,500 RPM (maintain altitude)
3) Landing configuration flow
4) Stabilized descent at 66 KIAS
5) Throttle idle (slowly)
6) Wings level or up to 20 degrees bank as assigned
7) Pitch to maintain altitude (slowly), and acknowledge cues of the impending stall
8) At stall/first indication of impending stall (as required) recover - simultaneously reduce AOA, max power, and level wings
9) Slowly retract flaps to 10 degrees
10) Accelerate to 64 KIAS (Vx), positive rate
