    This document provides instructions for performing medium level turns while climbing and descending at a constant rate and maintaining altitude. Key points include maintaining 30 degrees of bank for level turns, but reducing bank to 15 degrees for climbing turns. Proper aileron, rudder, and back pressure control are emphasized to balance the airplane and control yaw, pitch, and bank. The objectives are to change direction smoothly while minimizing disorientation and maintaining aircraft control.

    Medium, Climbing and Descending Turns Circuit

    Basic Concepts
    Training

    Objectives 2. Airmanship 3. Aeroplane Management 4. Human Factors


    To change direction through 360 degrees at a constant rate – using 30 degrees angle • 20° per 2 second scan technique • Smooth and positive throttle movements • 360° turns to minimise
    of bank – while maintaining a constant altitude and keeping the aeroplane in balance. • Lookout and Listenout • Carb heat disorientation
    • SA – 360° turns, position, altitude, weather • Turning sensation
    To complete a medium turn while climbing and while descending.
    • VFR minima, 5–2–1

    1. Principles of Flight 5. Air Exercise


    • In order to turn need to create a force towards the centre of the turn – bank the aeroplane Adverse Yaw
    • HCL provides the force • Demonstration only
    • VCL reduced \ more L required g increase angle of attack slightly

    Entry
    Medium Level Turn Climbing Turn Descending Turn
    • From S+L • Establish in climb • Establish in glide
    • Lookout • Lookout • Lookout
    • Roll with aileron to 30° AoB • Roll with aileron to 15° AoB • Roll with aileron to 30° AoB
    • Balance with rudder • Balance with rudder • Balance with rudder
    • Backpressure to set attitude • Relax backpressure to maintain • Relax backpressure to maintain
    – h slightly attitude – i attitude – i

    Adverse Yaw
    • h L on upgoing wing, also means h D i yaw
    away from turn
    • Rudder to balance yaw as ailerons
    deflected – neutral

    In Turn
    Overbanking
    • ‘Check’ the ailerons and maintain balance
    • Outer wing travels further, more L, • Lookout
    tries to keep rolling • Attitude
    • Hold off bank with aileron
    • Instruments
    • Angle of bank controlled with aileron
    • Altitude controlled with backpressure

    Exit
    • Look for reference point • Relax backpressure
    • Anticipate rollout by half the angle of bank • Reset S+L attitude
    Performance • Roll wings level • Check PAT
    • When climbing and turning, angle of bank must be reduced Maximum of 20°, use 15° • Balance with rudder
