More on Turns
Total Lift is Split Vertical Component Opposes Gravity Horizontal Component Opposes Inertia Lowered Aileron Produces Greater Drag This Causes a Yaw Toward the Rising Wing Adverse Yaw Coordinated Rudder Use Overcomes Yaw 16 Downloaded from www.avhf.com
More on Turns
Rudder Should Streamline With Slipstream If Rudder is Maintained Airplane Will Skid to the Outside of the Turn If Opposite Rudder is Applied Airplane Will Slip to the Inside of the Turn Angle of Attack Must Be Increased To Maintain Altitude 17 Downloaded from www.avhf.com
More on Turns
What a Good Instructor Looks For in a Turn If the Nose Starts to Move Before the Bank Starts The Rudder Is Being Applied Too Soon If the Bank Starts Before the Nose Starts Turning, or the Nose Moves in the Opposite Direction The Rudder is Being Applied Too Late If the Nose Moves Up or Down When Entering a Turn Excessive or Insufficient Up-Elevator is Being Applied 18 Downloaded from www.avhf.com

Descents
Sometimes Called a Glide Effect of Weight on a Glide?
If Two Aircraft have the Same Lift Over Drag Ratio (L/D), and At the Correct and a Constant Airspeed Higher Weight Gets There Sooner • Because a Higher Airspeed is Required for Max Glide Lower Weight Gets To the Same Point, but Later 25 Downloaded from www.avhf.com
More on Descents
With a Windmilling Propeller Pitch Controls Airspeed If Drag Increases Such as Lowering Gear and/or Flaps Airspeed Will Decrease Unless the Nose is Lowered 26 Downloaded from www.avhf.com
More on Descents
If the Nose is Lowered to Maintain Airspeed Glide Angle Increases, and The Distance Traveled is Reduced If the Nose is Not Lowered and a Reduced Airspeed is Maintained Glide Angle Increases, and The Distance Traveled is Reduced 27 Downloaded from www.avhf.com
Slow Flight
Defined as Flight at Any Airspeed that is Less Than Cruise Airspeed Maintain Altitude While Slowing Trim 28 Downloaded from www.avhf.com
Stalls and Stall Recovery
A Stall Can Occur at any Airspeed, in any Attitude, with any Power Setting Stall Awareness Vision Hearing Kinesthesia Control Pressures Stall Warning Indicators 29 Downloaded from www.avhf.com
Stalls and Stall Recovery
Stall Recovery Pitch Attitude and Angle of Attack Reduce Angle of Attack only Enough to Regain Lift Power Decreases Loss of Altitude Straight-and-Level Flight Maximum Lift Downloaded from www.avhf.com

Stalls and Stall Recovery
Practice in This Order Approaches to Stalls Student Becomes Familiar with Indications of Approaching Stall Recover with No Power Demonstrates that Angle of Attack Ends the Stall Recover With Power Demonstrates that Power Reduces Loss of Altitude Full Stalls Reduces Fear and Instills Confidence 31

Stalls and Stall Recovery
Proper Use of Controls in Stall Recovery Use of Aileron Requires Great Finesse Does Cause Adverse Yaw and Could Lead to a Spin The Rudder Use Must be Coordinated Rudder Will Control Yaw and Slip The Rudder Will Also Keep Wings Level The Elevator is Used to Recover from the Dive First, Pitch Down to Break the Stall Second, Pitch Up to Recover From the Dive Downloaded from www.avhf.com

Stalls and Stall Recovery
Secondary Stalls Caused by Hastening the Recovery, or By Abrupt Use of the Controls Accelerated Stalls Refers to the Stall, not the Airspeed Stall Occurs More Rapidly and Severely May Be at a Higher Airspeed Generally Caused by Excessive Back-Elevator Pressure 35 Downloaded from www.avhf.com
Stalls and Stall Recovery
Cross-Control Stall Left Rudder, Right Aileron, Back Elevator Elevator Trim Stall Retard the Throttle, Mid-Range Flaps, Gear Down, Normal Glide Speed, Trim Then Advance Throttle to Maximum Without Stopping the Pitch-Up Recover Before the Stall Occurs 36 Downloaded from www.avhf.com
Spins and Spin Recovery
A Stall is a Requirement for a Spin No Stall - No Spin!
How Do You Know Which Direction the Airplane is Spinning?
Check the Turn-and-Slip Indicator Not the Ball!
What is Happening if the Airspeed is Increasing?
It’s a Spiral, Not a Spin!
