2. Demonstrate the effect of power changes
from the cruise power setting.

straight and level flight.
,
c. Each wingtip remains equiv.-distant
above/below the horizon.
d. Drift considerations.
iii. Trim as required.
iv. Instrument indications.
LEVEL (Elevator)
i. Indicate distance between the top of the
glare shield and the horizon that is required
to maintain level flight e.g. “Four Finger
Position”
ii. The “Four Finger Position” is only valid for:
a. Speed – Cruise speed.
b. Power – Cruise power.
iii. Trim as required.
iv. Instrument indications.

level flight, and trim. NOTE: Practice
further power changes, (i.e. minimum
through maximum) but do not allow the
aircraft’s altitude to change before making
the attitude adjustment, i.e. anticipate the
power/speed/attitude requirements.
i. Look-out.
ii. Note:
a. Maintaining direction i.e. straight flight.
b. Maintaining Level Flight –
