SECTION 6
In-Flight Maneuvers
NOTE: Configuration and throttle settings used throughout the
following procedures are based on an 180 HP S-Model 172 and
may vary depending on the specific airplane and prevailing
conditions. Entry speeds for performance maneuvers are based
on the S-Model 172 POH and, in high density altitude conditions,
may need to be reduced to observe engine RPM limitations.
Required maneuvers for the Commercial Pilot Single-Engine checkride are
performed the same as those for Private Pilot, with two exceptions:
• Commercial steep turns are accomplished with at least 50° of bank.
Private steep turns are performed at 45° of bank.
• Stall recovery at the commercial level is performed either at the first
indication of an impending stall or after a full stall has occurred, as
specified by the evaluator. Private stalls must be continued to a full stall.
Commercial Pilot Single Engine completion standards allow for lower tolerances
than Private Pilot standards on maneuvers. Refer to the ACS.
