In Flight Maneuvers: Steep Turns
Steep turns are to be accomplished above 3,000’ AGL. Roll into one coordinated 360˚turn, then follow with another coordinated 360˚ turn in the opposite direction. Roll into and out of turns at approximately the same rate.
- Perform two 90° clearing turns & call “3,500 ft over angels gate - steep turns”
- 90 KIAS (2000 RPM) maintain altitude
- Cruise configuration flow (power to 2,000 rpm, engine instruments, Landing light, Mixture, Magnetic compass)
- Perform a 360 turn with 45° of bank
- Maintain altitude and airspeed (+ back pressure, + approx. 1-200 RPM)
- Roll out ½ bank angle prior to entry heading
- Clear traffic and perform a 360° turn with 45° of bank in the opposite
direction - Roll out ½ bank angle prior to entry heading
- “Cruise Checklist” (power to 2,000 rpm, engine instruments, Landing light, Mixture, Magnetic compass)
In Flight Maneuvers - Maneuvering during slow flight
Slow flight is to be accomplished at an entry altitude that will allow completion above 1,500’ AGL. Establish and maintain an airspeed, approximately 5-10 knots above the 1G stall speed, at which the airplane is capable of maintaining controlled flight without activating a stall warning.
- Perform two 90° clearing turns & call “3,000 ft over angels gate - slow flight”
- maintain altitude
- Landing configuration flow (fuel selector both, mixture full fwd, carb heat out, power to 1500, flaps 10 below 110, flaps 30 below 85)
- Maintain altitude – slow to 5-10 knots above 1G stall speed (approximately 45-50 KIAS). Avoid stall warning activation.
- Power as required to maintain airspeed
- Accomplish level flight, climbs, turns, and descents as required ATP - max 30° bank
- Recover – carb heat in, max power/maintain altitude/reduce flaps.
- Above VX, retract flaps to 0°
- “Cruise Checklist.”(power to 2,000 rpm, engine instruments, Landing light, Mixture, Magnetic compass)
In Flight Maneuvers - Power off stall
Power off stall
Stalls are to be accomplished at an entry altitude that will allow completion no lower
than 1,500’ AGL. This maneuver is begun by first establishing a stabilized descent in
either the approach or landing configuration.
- Perform two 90° clearing turns & call “3,000 ft over angels gate - power off stall”
- maintain altitude
- Landing configuration flow (fuel selector both, mixture rich, carb heat out, power to 1500, flaps 10 below 110, flaps 30 below 85)
- Stabilized descent at 65 KIAS
- Throttle idle (slowly)
- Wings level or up to 20° bank as assigned
- Maintain altitude to induce stall
- Recover – simultaneously reduce AOA, carb heat in, max power, and level wings
- Retract flaps to 20° (immediately)
- Retract flaps to 10° when airspeed is greater than 55 KIAS
- Increase pitch to arrest descent
- Establish VX or VY as appropriate
- Retract flaps to 0° when accelerating through VX
- “Cruise Checklist.”(power to 2,000 rpm, engine instruments, Landing light, Mixture, Magnetic compass)
In flight Maneuver - Power On Stall
Stalls are to be accomplished at an entry altitude that will allow completion no lower than 1,500’ AGL.
1. Perform two 90° clearing turns & Call: “3,000 ft over angels gate - Power on stall”
2. maintain altitude
3. Clean configuration flow (fuel selector both, mixture rich, carb heat out, power to 1500 rpm)
4. At 60 KIAS, simultaneously increase pitch (slowly) and apply full power
5. Increase pitch attitude to induce stall
6. At stall/buffet (as required) recover – simultaneously reduce AOA, max
power, and level wings
7. “Cruise Checklist” (power to 2,000 rpm, engine instruments, Landing light, Mixture, Magnetic compass)
In Flight Maneuvers - Emergency Descent
During a simulated emergency descent, the applicant must be able to recognize situations requiring an emergency descent, such as cockpit smoke and/or fire. Situational awareness, appropriate division of attention, and positive load factors should be maintained during the maneuver and descent.
- Perform two 90° clearing turns & Call “3,000 ft over angels gate - slow flight”
- Clean configuration flow
- Carb heat out, Reduce throttle to idle
- Initiate turning descent, while clearing for traffic
- Maintain (training) 120 KIAS
- Notify ATC/Traffic as appropriate
Short Field Takeoff
- Flaps 10°
- Use all available runway
- Hold brakes
- Full throttle
- Check engine gauges
- At full power – release brakes
- Rotate to climb at 50 KIAS over 50’ obstacle
- When clear of obstacle, accelerate VY
- Flaps 0°
- “After Takeoff Checklist” out of 1,000’ AGL
Short Field Landing
Steps 1-7 are identical to a normal approach and landing procedure.
8. Select flaps FULL and slow to 60 KIAS on final when landing is assured
9. Close throttle slowly during flare – touch down on intended
touchdown
point with little or no floating
10. Prevent the nosewheel from slamming onto the runway
11. Retract the flaps after touchdown
12. Simulate and announce “Max Braking” for training and checkride
purposes
Soft field takeoff
- Flaps 10 degrees
- Roll onto runway with full forward yoke- minimum breaking - or do not stop
- Smoothly apply full power - check engine gauges
- As nose lifts off, ease back pressure (nosewheel must remain off ground)
- Lift off at lowest possible airspeed - remain in ground effect
- In ground effect - accelerate to 62 KIAS (VX) - begin climb
- Accelerate to VX
- retract flaps
- “After takeoff checklist” out of 1,000’ AGL
Soft Field Landing
- On short final when landing is assured, select flaps 30° and slow to 65
KIAS - Fly the airplane onto the ground, slowly transferring the weight from
the wings to the main landing gear - Touch down on intended touchdown point at minimum speed with a
nose-high pitch attitude - Keep the nosewheel off the ground as airplane slows by increasing
elevator pressure - Prevent nosewheel from rapidly falling by maintaining aft elevator
pressure
Turns around a point
- Clear the area & call and select a point away from traffic
- If desired, select four equidistant points around the ground reference point to aid in making a symmetrical circle.
- Plan the maneuver so as to enter a left or right pattern downwind at 1,000 feet AGL, and at a distance equal to the desired radius of turn at 90 KIAS.
- Maintain constant airspeed, altitude and radius around the point while adjusting bank and drift correction using up to 30 degrees of bank angle
- Downwind - Steepest bank angle
- Upwind - Shallowest bank angle
- Crosswind and Base - Medium bank angle - Depart the maneuver after a minimum of two circles on the entry heading. course as instructed.
Maintain altitude +/-100 ft, and airspeed +/-10
