Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

1. AIM
DEFINITION
EXERCISE 15
ADVANCED TURNING (45° - 60°)
A steep turn is a change of direction at a bank angle of at least 45º whilst maintaining balance and
altitude.
WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR IS TO TEACH
i. Discuss the aerodynamic principles involved.
ii. The air exercise briefing:
a. Applicable Procedures and Check Lists.
b. Aircraft handling techniques:- Demonstration and Observation.
c. Considerations of airmanship and engine handling.
d. Similarity to previous exercises.
e. De-briefing after flight .
WHY IT IS BEING TAUGHT
To teach the student to turn the aircraft at high rates as well as providing valuable practice in the coordination
of the controls and developing confidence in the handling of the aircraft at sustained high
g-loading.
HOW THE EXERCISE APPLIES TO FLYING
i. To teach co-ordination.
ii. Avoiding collision with other aircraft by turning quickly.
iii. To practice stalling and recovering in turns.
iv. Application to steep gliding turns.
2. PRINCIPLES INVOLVED
1. NEWTON’S LAWS
2. REVISE
i. Further effect of ailerons.
ii. Adverse aileron yaw.
iii. Use of rudder for balance.
3. FORCES IN THE TURN
i. Revision on forces during straight and level fight.
ii. Discuss forces in a turn.
iii. Discuss load factor in turns.
iv. Review equilibrium.
v. Discuss power available/power required curve for turning – drag.
4. DISCUSS
i. Turn rate.
ii. Turn radius.
