- Turns - Chandelles
- Straight and Level - Lazy 8
- Climbs and Descents - Emergencies 180 side approach/ 360 overhead
- Effects of Controls approach
- Stalls - Practice forced landing
- Slow Flight
- Steep Spiral (Climb and Descent)
- Eight Around pylons
- Turns Around a point
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)
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)
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
1) POWER OFF STALL SERIES ( DO NOT FULL STALL! TILL 55MPH-60MPH ONLY then Recover)
First Series (Simulate Base to Final)
- Power to 1500rpm,
- Maintain 80mph- 70kts, trim
- Simulate Base to Final Turn, Increase BANK (30deg. Bank) and BACK PRESSURE
- Indication of Stall (Warning Horn), Release BACK PRESSURE, LEVEL WINGS and THROTTLE to 2400rpm
2) POWER ON STALL
- Power 2100rpm, ball center, wings level, pull back pressure
- Stall indication, STALL!, nose dive
- Wings level, Neutralize Rudders, Full power
- Recover back to Straight and Level.
CHANDELLE - ( Clearing Turns, Find Reference and Check Heading for 180deg. Change of direction.
Check 45deg. 90deg. 135deg, Check Traffic, Conditions of Flight, Report Commencing)
( 45deg. Ref. Point - Maximum Pitch) (90deg. Ref. Point - Maximum Bank 30*)
= For Terrain Avoidance and Altitude Gain, with pilot coordination.
- DIVE 110mph – 100kts
- RELEASE forward pressure once 110mph – 100kts obtain
- Nose above horizon (positive VSI)
- PITCH then BANK 15deg then FULL POWER, Ball Center
- BANK 30deg. With BACK PRESSURE Highest Pitch Attitude 65MPH- 55kts at 45*ref point Vs1: 48kts Vso: 40kts
- Continue turn till reaching 135deg. Reference point
- Approaching 180deg. Reference point. WINGS LEVEL
- Continue climb 300-400ft. Altitude.
LAZY 8 ( Clearing Turns, Find Reference 45deg. 90deg. 135deg. (Natural Reference), Check Traffic, Conditions of Flight,
Report Commencing) (45deg. Ref. Point - Maximum Bank 30* & Maximum Pitch)
= For Pilot Control Coordination, Mastery of the Aircraft. Maximum Performance
- Dive 110MPH – 105kts
- RELEASE forward pressure once 110mph – 105kts obtain
- Nose above horizon (positive VSI)
- PITCH then BANK 15deg. BALL CENTER
- MAINTAIN back pressure BANK 30deg and Highest pitch attitude on 45 deg. Reference Point (65mph – 55kts)
- Reaching 90deg. Reference Point apply Rudder pressure !
- Slice!
- Reaching 135deg. Reference Point release rudder pressure, approaching 180deg. Reference Point ROLL OUT
- Continue again other way.
Emergencies 180 side approach/ 360 overhead approach – For Engine failure, Emergencies, Quick Re-land
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.
- 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.
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.
2) STEEP DESCENT – To descent/ lose altitude without getting near any obstructions. (75mph-80mph)
- Power Idle
- Ease back pressure
- Bank 45deg.
- Trim for 500fpm
- Maintain ball center/ Coordinated flight
No FLAPS: 80mph
FLAPS 1: 75MPH
FLAPS 2: 70MPH
FLAPS 3: 65MPH

VX – Best Angle of Climb, Obstruction avoidance, gets the altitude on a given distance 65-75mph
VY – Best Rate of Climb, Gets the altitude on a given time. 80mph
