Ex. 9 - Steep Turn

Objectives

To teach how to complete a steep turn in a heavier aeroplane:

Motivation

Controlling a heavier aeroplane and maintaining altitude and airspeed during a steep turn can be more difficult and require considerably heavier control forces.  Additionally, a student must be prepared to control the aeroplane should an engine failure occur during a turn.

Essential Background Knowledge

EX. 5 - Cruising Flight

Objectives

To teach the student to:

  • achieve specific cruise-power settings using the throttle, propeller and mixture controls for various conditions, as recommended in the Pilot Operating Handbook
  • apply any additional measures recommended by the manufacturer with respect to aeroplane configuration or other considerations.

Motivation

The majority of flight time is spent in cruise flight.  In order to obtain optimum performance, the pilot must know how to configure the aeroplane properly.

Part 1: Aircrew and Groundcrew Training

Foreword

There is no such thing as a little ice. In airline operations where large numbers of aircraft are dispatched, the process of assuring that each flight will be safe must be a team effort. In smaller commercial and in private operations, the pilot may have to perform all the functions. In all cases, the pilot-in-command is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the aircraft is in a condition for safe flight. If the pilot cannot confirm that the aircraft critical surfaces are free of contamination, take-off must not be attempted.
