70
Q

Half way thru the final turn you cross check your altitude and airspeed. This is what you see:
ASI: 115 KIAS
Altimeter: 1,500’
What should you do?

A

You’re on-speed but not on-profile. (Low on energy)
Hold your AOB if you are happy with your final turn ground track, but pull back on stick to arrest sink rate while simultaneously adding power to overcome the increased induced drag you caused by increasing AOA. When on-profile, reset final turn pitch and power settings.

75
Q

How will you slow from a final turn airspeed of 115 KIAS to a final approach airspeed of 105 knots?

A

Simultaneously add back stick pressure and reduce power.

76
Q
