VFR Maneuvers

Question 1

How do we “Set-Up” the a/c for pretty much all the VFR flight maneuvers in the Archer? (Commercial / steep turns)

Answer 1

B - Boost pump OFF
G - Gas on Fullest Tank
M - Mixture set for Smooth Operation

Establish flight at 100 knots!

Question 2

What is the Minimum Recovery Altitude (Dual and Solo) for pretty much every VFR flight maneuver in the Archer?

Answer 2

1,500’ AGL (Dual)

2,000’ AGL (Solo)

Question 3

What must we make sure to do before setting up and executing any VFR Maneuver?

Answer 3

CLEARING TURNS
Clear the area with two 90 degree turns!

Radio Calls

Question 4

How do you set up for Steep Spirals? What’s the MRA?

Answer 4

B - boost pump ON!
G - fuel selector on fullest tank
M - set for smooth operation

76 knots (best glide)

Question 5

How many turns need to be done for a steep spiral? What’s the MRA?

Answer 5

Three (3) 360=dog turns

MRA = 1500’ AGL
UNLESS performing an emergency simulated landing over an airport

Question 6

What is Set-up for all the VFR GROUND REF maneuvers?

Answer 6

B - boost pump ON
G - gas fullest tank
M - mixture RICH

100 knots

Question 7

What is the altitude for ground reference maneuvers? What radius must you keep from the selected point/reference?

Answer 7

600-1000’ AGL

1/4 - 1/2 NM radius from point

Question 8

How do you calculate 8s on pylons entry altitude?s

Answer 8

GS / 11.3 + Field Elevation = Pivotal Altitude
