Acknowledge cues of the impending stall Recovery at stall by - Lower nose - Level the wings - Throttle - Full Open, rudder as needed for coordination. - Flaps - 20° - Positive rate - Flaps 10° -Speed 70 kts - Flaps up
ACS Standards
- Coordinated flight throughout maneuver
- Heading +-10 kts
- Return to specified altitude, heading, and airspeed
Power On Stall
Altitude - Above 2000' AGL Heading - Geographical point Throttle - 1500 RPM Airspeed - 55-60 kts At 55 kts, smoothly PITCH UP while adding FULL POWER Maintain WINGS LEVEL and COORDINATED FLIGHT Acknowledge cues of the impending stall Recovery at stall by - Lower nose - Level the wings - Rudder as needed for coordination - Establish normal climb at Vy - 75 kts
ACS Standards
- Coordinated flight throughout maneuver
- Heading +- 10°
Return to specified altitude, heading, airspeed
Emergency Descent
Altitude - Above 2500' Decelerate and Configure - Flaps - 30° Throttle - IDLE Airspeed - 80 kts Bank - 30 - 40° Recover at specified altitude
ACS Standards
- Airspeed +- 10 kts
Recovery altitude +- 100’
Accelerated Stalls (C)
Altitude - Above 3000’
Airspeed - 95 kts
Flaps - UP
Throttle - IDLE
In level flight establish coordinated 45° bank
Smoothly, firmly, progressively increase pitch - back pressure.
Acknowledge cues of impending stall and recover.
Recover by.
- Forward elevator pressure to decrease AOA and stop stall warning.
- Wings level, coordinate with rudder
- Throttle - FULL OPEN
- Climb - Vy 74 kts
ACS Standards
- 45° coordinated turn
- Acknowledge stall cues, prompt recovery
Chandelles (C)
Altitude - Above 2000' AGL Heading - Bug heading 90 degree off wingtip Airspeed - VA 105 kts Mixture - RICH Bank - 30° Throttle - FULL OPEN Pitch - Increase slowly First 90° - Constant bank, increasing pitch Second 90° - Constant bank, increasing pitch Coordinated throughout flight End at 180° point - Wings level - Just above stall speed Recovery - Decrease pitch - Level flight - Accelerate maintain altitude
ACS Standards
- 180 degree point +- 10 degrees
- Final airspeed just above stall
- Minimum altitude loss in recovery
Lazy Eights (C)
Altitude - Not lower than 2000’ AGL
Select geographical reference points or Mag Compass headings at 45°, 90°, 135°, & 180°. Set bug at 180°.
Airspeed - 105 kts (approx. 2200 RPM - Does NOT change)
Pitch and Bank
- Max pitch up at 45° point - Bank approx. 15°
- Max bank angle 30° at 90° point. VSI=0
- Max pitch down at 135° point - Bank approx. 15°
- Level flight at entry altitude and airspeed at the 180° point.
Repeat in opposite direction
Recover
ACS Standards
- Constant change of pitch, roll, & airspeed
- Altitude at 180° = entry altitude +- 100’
- Heading at 180° point = +- 10°
Steep Spiral (C)
Altitude - Above 4000’ AGL
Airspeed - 90 kts
Throttle - IDLE
Mixture - Rich
Constant radius turns around a point with wind drift correction.
Varying bank angle - not to exceed 60°
Complete three 360° turns; clear engine each turn
Finish not below 1500’ AGL on starting heading
Recover
ACS standards
- No greater than 60° bank
- Airspeed +- 10 kts
- Heading +- 10°
Eights on Plyons (C)
Airspeed - Va 105 kts
Determine pivotal altitude GS2/11.3 (ex 105 kts = 975’)
Enter with quartering tailwind on diagonal line between pylons.
Maintain relative position on pylon by varying altitude
(Pylon moves forward on wingtip, forward pressure)
(Pylon moves backwards on wingtip. back pressure)
Rudder for coordination only
Bank angle - no more than 40°
Recover by climbing to safe altitude
ACS Standards
- Smooth and continuous, keeping line-of-sight on pylon
- No more than 40° bank angle
- No slips or skids
Power-off 180°
Altitude 1000’ AGL
Throttle - IDLE (abeam specified touchdown point)
Airspeed - Vg 68 kts (throughout maneuver)
Downwind - extend as necessary for wind conditions
Base to final - start extending flaps when landing assured.
Touchdown - on specified point
ACS Standards
- Touchdown on specified point + 200’ - 0’
- Aligned with and over the center line
- No side drift
