3. DESCRIPTION OF AIR EXERCISE
a. APPLICABLE PROCEDURES AND CHECKLISTS
b. AIRCRAFT HANDLING TECHNIQUES:-
DEMONSTRATION OBSERVATION
1. DESCENDING TURN
i. From a straight glide, enter a descending turn
at 15° angle of bank, whilst maintaining
recommended gliding speed.
ii.
iii.
Lower flaps in stages during the gliding turn
and repeat above exercise at flaps down
gliding speed.
Repeat exercise using partial power at
recommended descent speed.
+
i. Note attitude and rate of descent before
entry.
ii. Lookout before commencing turn.
iii. Engine considerations.
iv. Entry and recovery similar to that for a
medium turn.
a. Maintain constant angle of bank.
b. Constant airspeed.
c. Check balance (slip and skid).
d. Note increase rate of descent.
1) Note attitude required for the
descending turn.
2) Tendency for aircraft to roll out
of turn (hold on bank).
3) Instrument indications.
4) Engine temperatures and
pressures.
v. Recover from gliding turn to a straight glide.
vi. Repeat exercise to opposite side and note
attitude.
vii. Repeat exercise rolling out onto preselected
heading/ground feature.
i. During flap extension adjust nose
attitude/airspeed to recommended flap
down gliding speed.
ii. Note change in:
a. Nose attitude.
b. Rate of descent.
c. Instrument indications.
iii. Maintain the gliding turn and adjust nose
attitude/airspeed to recommended flapless
gliding speed whilst retracting the flaps.
i. During the gliding turn, apply partial power
ii. Note changes in:
a. Note attitude.
b. Rate of descent.
c. Instrument indications.
iii. Note:
a. Throttle (power) controls the rate of
descent.
b. Control column (elevator) controls the
speed.
iv. Recover as before, reducing power to that
required for a normal gliding turn.
