Control Performance

Question 1

Control performance

Answer 1

Predictable values for airspeed, rate of turn, and rate of climb or descent will inevitably result from a given combination of control inputs.

Question 2

Control tables

Answer 2

•Attitude Indicator
•Power Indicator
-Tachometer/Manifold

Question 3

Performance tables

Answer 3

•Airspeed Indicator
•Altimeter
•Turn Coordinator
•Heading Indicator
•Vertical Speed Indicator

Question 4

Configuration chart

Answer 4

•Must be completed for every aircraft to be flown
•A chart of attitude and power combinations
•There can be as many configurations as desired, usually to include: climb, cruise, cruise descent, approach, approach descent, and non-precision approach descent.

Question 5

Control/performance advantages

Answer 5

•Easy to remember
•Used by the USAF and the Airlines
•Thought to be easier
•Teaches pilots to be more in tune with aircraft performance and aircraft capabilities
•Newer cockpits are designed with this method in mind (EFD)

Question 6

Control/performance disadvantages

Answer 6

•“Numbers” must be relearned in each aircraft
•Teaches pilots to have an over-reliance or over-dependence on the Attitude Indicator
•Partial Panel = Real Emergency

Question 7

Attitude+power=
