Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

2. THE EFFECT OF POWER ON THE GLIDE
Demonstrate the effect of power changes
while maintaining the recommended speed.
3. THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT FLAP
SETTINGS WHILE MAINTAINING THE
STRAIGHT POWER OFF GLIDE
i. During a normal power off glide, lower
optimum/intermediate flap.
+,
Wingtips equidistant from horizon.
Drift considerations.
Climb – Best Rate.
Attitude – As for Best ROC.
Speed – Best Rate.
Power – Climb.
Configuration – Clean.
iv. Instrument indications.
v. Engine considerations as for the climb.
i. Lookout.
ii. Maintain straight flight.
a. Reference point/heading.
b. Balance – trim as required.
c. Wingtips equi-distant from horizon.
d. Drift considerations.
iii. Note the considerations for the glide.
Attitude – Glide attitude.
Speed – Best glide.
Power – Off.
Configuration – Clean.
iv. Instrument indications.
Note rate of descent.
v. Engine considerations.
vi. Increase power to ±1800 rpm while
maintaining attitude. Anticipate yaw and
pitch.
a. Speed increases.
vii. To maintain:
a. Straight Flight.
Note rudder application and trim.
b. Glide, at best glide speed.
Adjust attitude, trim and note.
Attitude – higher than for power off
glide.
Power – 1800RPM.
Speed – best glide speed.
Configuration – Clean.
c. Instrument indications.
Rate of descent – less than power off
glide.
d. Engine considerations.
NOTE: Practice further power changes (minimum
through maximum), but do not allow the speed to
change before making the attitude adjustment i.e.
anticipate the power/speed/attitude relationship.
SUMMARY: To maintain the required speed, any
change of power will affect the attitude as well as the
rate of descent. The lower the power, the lower the
nose attitude and the higher the rate of descent.
i. Lookout.
ii. Maintain straight flight.
a. Reference point/heading.
