w/ SCATSAFE

Question 3

AHC
SCATSAFE

Answer 3

Straight & Level - backside of pwr curve
Coordination Ex - turns w/ 15-20 AoB
Adverse Yaw - no rudder “S-ing”
Torque & Turns - MAX pwr, release cntrl
Steep Turn - 60 AoB, add pwr to mx level flt
Abrupt Control - pulse stick back f/ stall
Flap Retraction - move LDG to UP
Effectiveness of controls - small rapid movements
