Perform 2 climb and descending 180° turns, maintain coordination throughout. | | Develop precise control of pitch, bank, and coordination through the full range of airspeeds. |
- Description
- Energy: Trading airspeed for altitude
- Bank increases as airplane slows
- Control effectiveness
- Rudder
- Aileron
- Elevator
- Procedure
- L/R turns
| |
- Pre-maneuver checklist
- Bank 5°
- Slowly pitch up, ~18°
- At 45° point: Confirm 30° bank max
- Nose "cuts" through horizon
- 90°: Nose on horizon, confirm 30° bank, min airspeed, max rudder
- 135° point: Nose low, airspeed increasing
- Time arresting of pitch
- Rollout on entry altitude and entry airspeed
- Roll opposite direction °, repeat other direction

- Fixation
- Energy management
- Stalls/Spins/Coordination
- Confined areas
|
- Control roughness
- Consistent gain/loss of altitude after turn
- Letting nose "fall" through horizon
- Uncoordinated flight
- Asymmetrical L/R turns
|
- ~30° max bank
- At 180 ° point:
- ±100 ft. from entry altitude
- ±10 knots from entry airspeed
- ±10° from entry heading
