Q

What is the minimum power setting for TP stalls?

25
When do you recover for TP stalls?
Upon definite increase in buffet, or aural, HUD, and MFD stall warnings, however briefed by IP
26
What are the three steps for TP stalls?
1. Establish landing configuration 2. Set power 3. Fly simulated final turn before inducing the error
27
When is recovery complete for TP stalls?
1. Descent has stopped 2. Positive, controlled climb (Alt and VVI increasing) 3. Sufficient airspeed for continued flight
28
For nose high recoveries, what is the primary consideration for power increases?
Smoothly to prevent compressor stalls and flameouts
29
For nose-low recoveries, what airspeed range gives you minimum turn radius?
250 - 400 knots (approx. corner velocity)
30
For nose-low recoveries, what amount of backstick is required?
Pull to moderate buffet or desired recovery G (4 to 5Gs normally)
31
How should airspeed be maintained on a nose-low recovery?
Adjust power and speed brakes as required to maintain airspeed between 250 and 400 knots
32
What is the airspeed/power setting for a Lazy 8?
350-400 @ 95%
33
What is the airspeed/power setting for a Barrel Roll?
375-400 @ 95%
34
What is the airspeed/power setting for a Loop?
500 @ MIL
35
What is the airspeed/power setting for a Split-S?
200 @ MIL
36

46
What is the altitude required for a Cloverleaf?
8,000-10,000' above
47
What is the rule for altitude/airspeed to lead the pull out of a nose-low maneuver?
10 knots/500 feet for each 10° NL | 50°NL lead pullout by 50 knots and/or 2,500'
48
What is the minimum over-the-top airspeed?
150 KCAS

52
When is a Loop considered complete?
Level flight with entry parameters (unless flowing into another maneuver)
53

When wings level approximately 180° from entry heading
54
When is an Immelman considered complete?
Level flight 180° from original heading
55
When is a Cuban 8 considered complete?
In level flight , at entry airspeed, heading in original direction
56
