TURNS – ( Clearing Turns, Find Reference (Natural Reference), Check Traffic, Conditions of Flight, Report Commencing)
Initial Heading for Roll Out: Aob/2 = Lead roll out hdg ( + left Turn) / ( - Right Turn)
1. Shallow Turn – 15deg Bank Attitude, Hold Slight Back Pressure, Maintain half sky half ground, Hold Control Inputs,
Maintain Ball Center. 90deg. Change of Direction. (Reference Left or Right)
2. Medium Turn – 30deg Bank Attitude, Hold Back Pressure, Maintain half sky half ground, Hold Control Inputs, Maintain
Ball Center. 180deg. Change of Direction. (Reference Left and Right)
3. Steep Turn – 45deg Bank Attitude, Hold Back Pressure, Maintain half sky half ground, Hold Control Inputs, Maintain
Ball Center. 360deg. Change of Direction. (Reference Front and Back)

STRAIGHT & LEVEL – ( Cruise power: 2100rpm - Cruise airspeed: 90kts)


1) How to maintain straight & level? Maintain Half Sky Half Ground. Different Airspeed needs to have a different Angle
of Attack to maintain level flight. Maintain Ball center and Wings Leveled.

Faster Airspeed – more lift Slower Airspeed – less lift

Cross-check your Altimeter, Attitude and VSI (has delay 6-9secs).


Find your reference point outside, pick a natural reference to follow.

CLIMBS AND DESCENTS – ( Climb power setting: 2400-2500rpm, Descent power setting: 1700-1500rpm)
Climb/ Descent Exit Formula: 10% of VSI = _____ ( + Descent) or ( - Climb) to intended altitude. INITIALLY 50ft. +/-

1) Climbs – Will have more left tendencies because of ( High power setting, High Angle of Attack, Low airspeed)
VX – Best Angle of Climb, Obstruction avoidance, gets the altitude on a given distance 65-75mph (AAG 62-65kts)
VY – Best Rate of Climb, Gets the altitude on a given time. 80mph (AAG 74 -75kts)
Vcrz- Cruise Climb – Best engine cooling, no obstructions 90mph/ AAG 80kts
Vr – Rotation Speed – 60mph (AAG 60kts)
Cruise Power: 2100rpm (AAG 90kts)

CLIMB exit: ASPT (Attitude, Speed, Power, Trim)

2) Descents – More ground, less sky, find your reference point outside
Best Gliding speed – 68 kts ( to obtain L/D=Max Less induced d and parasite d
Descent speed – 70 to 80 kts (1500rpm)
Cruise Descent – 90mph
DESCENT exit: PAST (Power, Attitude, Speed, Trim)

EFFECTS OF CONTROL:
More Angle of Attack more Lift Produced
More Dense Air more Lift

Performance = Power + Attitude


Newton’s Third Law – For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

MINIMUM ALTITUDE TO DESCENT FROM STALL? 1500 FT???


DO NOT DESCENT 300FT BELOW??

- Apply Flaps when sure on approach

360 Overhead Approach (75mph – 68kts)


- High Base, High Final
- +500ft on traffic altitude: 1200ft (RPUS)
- Over Threshold, Report Commencing
- Power Idle
- Find reference and Guides to 180deg.
SLOW FLIGHT
– To be familiar with the critical stages of flight, and the maximum performance of the aircraft. When on Takeoff to
recognize an imminent stall, familiarization with the effects of controls and the Visual outside.
- To familiarize the student with the flight characteristics of the airplane at the low end of the speed regime. Because
landings are a form of slow flight, it makes sense to be comfortable with flying slow. The controls are mushy, the sound is
different, and the panel obscures the view out the window.
- To learn how to recognize when the aircraft is close to the onset of a stall. At the minimum controllable airspeed, the
stall horn or light may be making noise or illuminating, and the airplane may occasionally burble. The point of this
exercise is to demonstrate how to recognize an imminent stall.

- Airspeed: 65mph – (56kts) 55- 60kts


- Power: 1500rpm
- Trim: Full
- Adjust Power to maintain Altitude Approx. 1500-1700rpm
- Demonstrate
- AILERONS: Sluggish and Ineffective
- ELEVATORS: Sluggish and slow
- RUDDERS: Most effective
- TORQUE EFFECT: Due to left turning tendencies (High Angle of attack, Low Airspeed, High Rpm) 90*deg applied force.
- APPLY Flaps 1: Turning is SLOW but RADIUS of TURN is SMALL
- Recover: Flaps first then Full power push yoke forward/ Full power, gain safe airspeed, push yoke forward, retract
flaps increments.

Wind direction information: smoke, lake, flags, wind drift circle.

GROUND TRACK MANEUVER (Bank 10deg – 30deg)

1) S – TURNS - how to compensate wind on the plane ground control using bank control. Wind drift correction.
Divide attention bet. Airplane control and ground track while maintaining coordinated flight.

- Turn left to give the student a better view of the references/ maneuver.

- Higher ground speed – Higher Bank/ Steeper turn


- Lower ground speed – Lower Bank/ Shallow turn
- Tailwind – Steeper turn
WIND
- Headwind – Shallow turn

- Find Reference Point (Natural) closest to 90* perpendicular to the wind direction.
- Find Emergency Landing area nearby
- Start Maneuver on downwind (steeper bank needed, due to tailwind)
- Continue turn while maintain Altitude and coordination
- Approaching reference line, Wings Level
- Count 5-10secs, turn to the opposite direction
- Continue turn while maintaining Altitude and coordination
- Approaching reference line, Wings Level
2) TURNS AROUND A POINT- how to compensate wind on the plane ground control using bank control. Wind drift
correction. Divide attention bet. Airplane control and ground track while maintaining coordinated flight.

- Turn left to give the student a better view of the references/ maneuver.

- Higher ground speed – Higher Bank/ Steeper turn


- Lower ground speed – Lower Bank/ Shallow turn
- Tailwind – Steeper turn
- Headwind – Shallow turn

- Pick a reference point on the ground


- Find a near Emergency Landing area
- Determine where the wind is coming from
- Start Maneuver on downwind (steeper turn needed, due to tailwind)
- Fly a constant radius of turn adjusting angle of bank and direction as wind direction with respect to a/c position
changes.
- Crosscheck instruments. (Altimeter, Airspeed, Turn-Coordinator).

If the point drifts forward of the wingtip, pitch down a little, until it comes back in line.
If the point drifts back of the wing, pitch up a little.

3) EIGHT AROUND PYLONS


- Find your selected Pylons – approx. ½ mile or 1mile
- Find a near Emergency Landing area
- Cross between the pylons for entry
- Enter 30*degs tailwind
- When Abeam the pylon execute the turn maintaining pivotal altitude
- Make a steeper bank due to tailwind and high ground speed
- Apply correction with wind corrections and maintain altitude and airspeed
- When 2nd Pylon is on sight roll out slowly
- Vice Versa

If Pylon is moving forward – forward pressure is needed


If Pylon is moving rearward – adjust back pressure needed
