FLIGHT EXERCISE BRIEFING
EXERCISE 15
ADVANCED TURNING
DEFINITION: A steep turn is a turn in which the bank angle exceeds 45°. It is a high performance manoeuvre which
requires good co-ordination and positive control.
WHY? This manoeuvre is performed in a potentially dangerous situation: for e.g.: near traffic avoidance, or high
ground.
AIRMANSHIP: Lookout, orientation, use reference points. Engine handling, firm and smooth control inputs.
ENTRY MAINTAINING ROLL OUT
• Check T’s and P’s, fuel on fullest
tank - fuel pump on.
• LOOKOUT – especially behind the
A/C in direction of turn.
• Select reference point on horizon.
• Roll on bank with aileron.
• Balance with rudder.
• Apply sufficient back pressure to
maintain a level turn.
• Add power progressively to
maintain airspeed.
NOTE:
• Start this exercise with medium
level turns left and right.
• Then progress to 45° AOB Left and
right turns.
• Then progress to 60° AOB turns left
and right noting increase in loading
to 2G and high speed stall warning.
• Lookout.
• Bank with ailerons.
• Balance with rudder.
• Height with elevator.
• Airspeed with power.
• Notice increase in downwards view.
If HEIGHT is GAINED:
• Reduce back pressure and consider
increasing the bank angle, don’t over
bank.
If HEIGHT is LOST:
• Reduce bank angle.
• Raise nose with increased back
pressure, and then re-apply bank.
• Lookout.
• Attitude.
• Instrument scan: AOB on AH; height
on VSI/ALT; Scan with T.I; ASI; D.I;
with constant outside attitude
reference
Reference check attitude instrument
vice versa.
* *
• Look out.
• Locate rollout ref point and anticipate
by 10° - 30°.
• Roll off bank with ailerons.
• Balance with rudder.
• Release elevator back pressure to
maintain height.
• Passing 30° of bank, reduce power to
maintain the required airspeed for
level flight.
• No lookout.
COMMON FAULTS
• No co-ordination with aileron and
rudder controls.
• Roll in and out must be smooth rate
of roll.
• Use visual references for nose
position with a cross check on AH for
AOB.
• Head in cockpit.
• Change of AOB with nose position
constant.
• Tend to spiral dive if roll in is too
slow. To recover, close throttle, roll
wings level, ease out of dive, climb
away, start manoeuvre again.
