Maneuvers

Question 1

Takeoff briefing, CHORRD

Answer 1

Conditions
Hazards
Operational changes
Runway req vs available
Return procedure
Departure plans

Question 2

Before taxiing onto the runway checklist

Answer 2

Lights on
Transponder on
Mixture full rich
Final approach clear

Question 3

Takeoff procedure

Answer 3

Taxi onto the runway
Establish crosswind correction
Select reference for centerline
Start takeoff roll on centerline with nose wheel straight ahead
Slowly apply full power
Glance at engine indicators to ensure they are in the green
Airspeed indicator is alive
When controls become effective, establish the aircraft into a climb attitude
Pitch for Vy

Question 4

C172 recommended airspeed to begin a descent in the pattern

Answer 4

80-85 knots

Question 5

Recommended airspeed on base

Answer 5

1.4 x Vso
C172 recommended speed: 75 kts

Question 6

Recommended airspeed on final

Answer 6

1.3 x Vso
C172: 65 kts

Question 7

Go around actions

Answer 7

Smoothly apply full throttle
Ensure proper attitude
Configuration: retract flaps 10 degrees at a time

Question 8

Stall recovery

Answer 8

Lower the nose
Apply full power
Level the wings
Once airspeed is regained:
Initiate a climb
Wait until reaching Vy before retracting flaps
Climb to desired altitude
Return to straight and level flight

Question 9

Spin recovery

Answer 9

TARE:
Throttle: reduce to idle
Ailerons: neutralise
Rudder: full opposite rudder
Elevator: elevator forward

Question 10

Conditions required for a spin

Answer 10

The aircraft must first be stalled
Must be in uncoordinated flight

Situations that might lead to an accidental spin:
A skidding turn from base to final
An uncoordinated power on stall

Question 11

Clean configuration flow

Answer 11

• Fuel selector - both
• Mixture - rich
• Flaps up

Question 12

Landing configuration flow

Answer 12

• Fuel selector - both
• Mixture - rich
• Carb heat on
• Flaps full

Question 13

Maneuvering during slow flight

Answer 13

• perform clearing turns
• 1500 RPM
• landing configuration
• maintain altitude - 45-50 KIAS
• Use power as required to maintain airspeed and altitude
• perform maneuvers as required without activating a stall warning
• recover: max power, maintain altitude, reduce flaps
• above Vx: retract flaps to 0
• cruise checklist

Question 14

Steep turns

Answer 14

• clearing turns
• 95 KIAS (~2000 RPM)
• cruise checklist
• perform 365 turn with 45 degrees of bank
• maintain altitude and airspeed (add back pressure and ~1-200 RPM)
• roll out @ 1/2 of the bank angle from entry heading
• perform a 365 turn in the opposite direction
• roll out @ 1/2 of the bank angle from entry
• cruise checklist

Question 15

power-off stall

Answer 15

• clearing turns
• 1500RPM
• landing configuration flow
• stabilized descent at 65KIAS
• throttle idle
• wings level or bank as assigned
• raise nose to an attitude that indicates a stall
• acknowledge cues of the impending stall
• recover: reduce AOA, level wings, apply max power
• retract flaps to 20 degrees immediately
• retract flaps to 10 degrees when airspeed is greater than 60 KIAS
• increase pitch to arrest descent
• establish Vy
• flaps to 0 when accelerating through Vx
• return to specified altitude, heading, and airspeed
• cruise checklist

Question 16

Power on stall

Answer 16

-clearing turns
-1500 rpm (maintain altitude)
-clean configuration flow
-at 60 kias, simultaneously increase pitch and apply full throttle
-pitch to induce a stall
-acknowledge cues impending stall
-at stall, recover:
-reduce aoa
-level wings
-accelerate to Vx/Vy as appropriate
-return to specified altitude, heading, and airspeed
-cruise checklist

Question 17

Normal approach and landing

Answer 17

• complete the approach checklist before entering the airport area (no later than 15 mi)
• slow to 90kts prior to entering traffic pattern
• Enter the traffic pattern at published TPA
• complete the before landing checklist when abeam the touchdown point
• when abeam the touchdown point, reduce power (1500 rpm) and flaps 10
• descend out of TPA at 80 kts
• on base, flaps 20 and trim for 70 kts
• when wings level on final, flaps 30 and slow to 65kts
  -complete GCASH check and make stabilized approach

Question 18

GCASH checklist

Answer 18

• Glide path
• configuration
• airspeed
• stabilized
• heels on the floor
