d. SIMILARITY TO PREVIOUS EXERCISES<br />
i. Effect of controls.<br />
ii. Straight and level.<br />
e. DE-BRIEFING AFTER FLIGHT<br />
1. Briefly recap on the exercise and emphasise the important aspects applicable to:<br />
i. Initiating the glide. As for the climb the student must anticipate the pitch and<br />
yaw changes resulting from the power being removed. Secondly, the aircraft<br />
must maintain straight and level flight until the required glide speed is attained<br />
before lowering the nose into the glide attitude. Again emphasise the correct<br />
procedure of change, check, hold, adjust, check, hold and trim.<br />
ii. Maintaining the glide:<br />
a. Maintain a constant good lookout. For aircraft without a rudder trim a<br />
constant application of the left rudder is required to maintain heading<br />
and balance.<br />
b. Due to the reduced power the engine cools down very fast requiring a<br />
clear-up every 500’ – 1000’. For the clear-up follow the procedure as<br />
discussed in ‘Initiating a straight climb from the glide’. Maintain this<br />
attitude for 5-10 seconds before reducing the power, regaining the<br />
gliding attitude, while maintaining the correct speed throughout.<br />
c. Richen the mixture as required during the descent.<br />
iii. Levelling off from the glide at a predetermined altitude:<br />
a. Anticipation for levelling off is calculated at one tenth of the rate of<br />
descent.<br />
b. Students must be prepared to anticipate the large pitch up moment as<br />
power is applied. Many students are caught unawares and usually<br />
end up in the climb attitude before ‘catching’ the pitch-up movement.<br />
c. Follow the correct procedure of change, check, hold, adjust, check,<br />
hold and trim.<br />
d. Allow the speed to build up to the cruising speed before setting cruise<br />
power.<br />
iv. Initiating a straight climb from a glide:<br />
a. Anticipate pitch changes.<br />
b. Maintain correct speed, heading and balance.<br />
v. The effect of power on the glide:<br />
a. Point out the relationship between power/nose attitude/speed.<br />
b. Trim changes.<br />
vi. The effect of flap on the glide:<br />
a. To maintain the correct gliding speed with flap the instructor must point<br />
out the large changes (lowering) in nose position as flap is increased.<br />
This results in large increases in the rate of descent.<br />
b. With full flap, increase the rate of descent by progressively lowering<br />
the nose position. Indicate the large increase in the rate of descent<br />
