38
How to conduct a climbing turn
1. Lookout left and right by rising the wings 2. Start 15 degree turn 3. Rudder on the direction you are turning and hold 4. Rollout 10 degrees before then rudder to neutral
39
Go around procedure acronym
P - Power (Full) A - Attitude (55kts) F - Flaps (Flaps 20) P - Positive rate of climb (Flaps 10, then flaps clean)
40
Go around procedure
Power: Full power Positive Rate of Climb: Confirm a positive rate of climb by checking the vertical speed indicator (VSI) and altimeter. Flaps: First Increment: If full flaps are extended (30 degrees), immediately retract the flaps to 20 degrees to reduce drag and increase climb performance. Second Increment: Once a positive rate of climb is established and you have a safe altitude (usually around 200 feet AGL or above obstacles), retract the flaps to 10 degrees. Final Retraction: Continue climbing to a safe altitude, and when the aircraft is stable and the climb rate is assured, retract the remaining flaps fully.
