Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

1. AIM
LESSON 4
FULL PANEL MANOEUVRES – PART 4
The aim of this lesson is to teach the student to recover from unusual attitudes while flying on
instruments.
DEFINITION
The aircraft is flown with sole reference to instruments with particular emphasis on being able to
recover from awkward attitudes. This lesson includes an introduction to limited panel.
2. WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR IS TO TEACH (Briefing of 1:00 hr.)
2.1 Aerodynamic factors relating to:
i. Spiral dives.
ii. Incipient spins.
iii. The limitations of instruments.
iv. The use of the limited panel instruments.
2.2 Recap on scanning methods:
i. Timed turns i.e. 3° per sec.
3. WHY IT IS BEING TAUGHT
This is taught so that the student will be able to recover (using the instruments for reference) from any
unusual attitudes that the aircraft may enter as a result of inattention on the pilot’s part or other factors
like turbulence.

),
i. Ensure that the student checks the instruments
while taxiing.
i. Give the student a more complex departure
clearance involving headings and various
altitude limitations.
i. Blank out the A/H during the cruise. Point out
how changes in attitude are determined from
the pressure instruments. Point out that these
instruments lag the aircraft’s attitude and that
small corrections to attitude should be made.
Follow up with small trim movements.
i. Have the student close his eyes and look
down. Do a level turn for about 60° then
gradually roll into a turn in the opposite
direction and induce a spiral dive. Allow the
speed to increase substantially and ask
