Select ground reference point (road, barn, small pond) 6. Begin bank when point is abeam wing (no more than 40°) 7. Use pitch to maintain point on reference line (pitch smoothly) 8. After completion of a left 270° turn maintain straight and level flight 9. After 5-7 seconds, perform steps 4-7 to the right 10. Roll out on bugged heading 11. Perform Climb/Cruise Checklist when appropriate Commercial Standards Bank: Not to exceed 40° Avoid Slips and Skids Chandelle (Commercial Only) 1. Perform Pre-Maneuver Checklist 2. Throttle to 2300RPM, Airspeed to 105 KIAS 3. Select 90° Reference 4. Bank 30° then apply Full Power 5. Slowly increase pitch to 15-17° (should reach max pitch and hold at 90° point) 6. Maintain pitch and slowly reduce bank angle to 0° at 180° point 7. Slowly reduce pitch to maintain level flight and accelerate to cruise 8. Repeat steps 3-6 to the right (If asked to demonstrate to right) 9. Perform Cruise Checklist when appropriate Commercial Standards Heading: 180° ±10 Airspeed: Just above stall; Maintain momentarily while avoiding stall Revision 1/6/2021 4700 Airport Parkway Addison, Texas 75001 972.735.9099 8 Lazy Eight (Commercial Only) 1. Perform Pre-Maneuver Checklist 2. Select 45°,90° and 135° References 3. Verify configuration (maintain altitude, 95KIAS and power 2200RPM) 4. Increase pitch & bank 1-2° per second (up to ~17° and speed should be near 60KIAS) 45°: 15° bank & max pitch up 5. Relieve back pressure, increase bank 90°: 30° bank, level pitch 6. Increase back pressure slowly (maintain nose low attitude), reduce bank 135°: 15° bank & max pitch down 7. Level off @ 180° from start at entry altitude, airspeed and reciprocal heading 8. Repeat steps 4-7 to the Other direction smoothly and immediately 9. Perform Cruise Checklist when appropriate Commercial Standards Bank: Approx 30° at Steepest At 180° Point: Airspeed: ±10 KIAS Heading: ±10° Altitude: ±100 FT Revision 1/6/2021 4700 Airport Parkway Addison, Texas 75001 972.735.9099 9 Unusual Attitudes 1. Use the attitude indicator to quickly determine whether the airplane is in a nose high or nose low attitude (cross check with altimeter, airspeed, and vertical speed indicators) 2. Recognizing a nose high attitude: nose up pitch on attitude indicator, increasing altitude on altimeter, vertical speed indicator shows climb, decreasing airspeed (possibly approaching a stall) 3. Nose High Recovery: add full power, simultaneously lower the nose to the horizon, level the wings, trim 4. Recognizing a nose low attitude: nose down pitch on attitude indicator, decreasing altitude on altimeter, vertical speed indicator shows descent, increasing airspeed 5. Nose Low Recovery: bring power to idle, level the wings to avoid overstressing the airframe, smoothly bring the nose to the horizon, trim 6. Perform Cruise Checklist when appropriate Standards Recognize and perform the correct, coordinated and smooth flight control application to recover Revision 1/6/2021 4700 Airport Parkway Addison, Texas 75001 972.735.9099 10
