Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

4. Demonstrate of the possibility of 2 different
airspeeds at the same power setting, whilst
maintaining straight and level flight, i.e. the
effect of being on the wrong side of the drag
curve.
5. Flying for Economy/Range As per aircraft manual.
Configuration – Optimum/Intermediate
flap.
v. Instrument indications.
vi. Select further flap while maintaining attitude:
Anticipate pitch changes – Aircraft
climbs/descends.
vii. To maintain:
a. Straight flight – no deviation.
b. Level flight: Adjust attitude, trim and
note:-
Attitude – lower than before.
Power – cruise power.
Speed – lower than previous speed.
Configuration – finally full flap.
viii. Instrument indications.
ix. Select flaps up in stages following same
procedures as for flap extension.
x. The aircraft should eventually accelerate to
the higher airspeed, but this condition of
flight i.e. low airspeed at cruise power is not
recommended because of safety, economy
and engine considerations.
xi. The recommended acceleration procedure is;
Maintain climb/max power. Maintain
altitude. Accelerate to required speed. Set
power as required for the speed. Trim as
required.
NOTE: Practice further flap extensions and
retractions, but do not allow the aircraft’s altitude to
change before making the attitude adjustment, i.e.
anticipate the flap/attitude requirement.
Demonstrate first at higher airspeed.
i. Look-out.
ii. Attitude and instrument indications as for
straight and level flight .
iii. Note airspeed and power setting and
configuration (clean).
Demonstrate now at lower airspeed with original
power setting.
i. Reduce power to idle.
ii. Maintain height by changing nose attitude
and note decreasing airspeed.
iii. Allow airspeed to decrease to below Vmd
(IAS for minimum drag).
iv. Increase power to the same setting as for
the original higher airspeed.
v. Note instrument indications in straight and
level flight.
vi. Note reduced airspeed and pronounced
high nose attitude.
