NOTE:
Configuration and throttle settings used throughout
the following procedures are based on an 160 HP R-Model 172
and will vary depending on the specific airplane and prevailing
conditions.
Steep Turns
Steep turns are to be accomplished above 3000' AGL. Roll into one coordinated
360˚ turn, then follow with another coordinated 360˚ turn in the opposite direc-
tion, as specified by the Examiner. Roll into and out of turns at approximately
the same rate. The applicant is required to maintain the entry altitude ±100 feet,
airspeed ±10 knots, bank ±5°; and roll out on the entry heading ±10°.
1. Perform two 90º clearing turns
2. 90 KIAS (2000 RPM) maintain altitude
3. Cruise configuration flow
4. Perform a 360 turn with 45˚ of bank
5. Maintain altitude and airspeed (+ back pressure, + approx. 1-200 RPM)
6. Roll out ½ bank angle prior to entry heading
7. Clear traffic and perform a 360 turn with 45˚ of bank in the opposite
direction
8. Roll out ½ bank angle prior to entry heading
9. Cruise checklist
Maneuvering During Slow Flight
Slow flight is to be accomplished at an entry altitude that will allow the task
to be completed no lower than 1500' AGL. As specified by the Examiner, this
maneuver may be accomplished in any configuration while demonstrating
coordinated straight-and-level flight, climbs, turns, and descents. The airspeed
selected is that at which any further increase in angle of attack, increase in load
factor, or reduction in power, would result in an immediate stall. The applicant
is required to maintain the specified altitude ±100 feet, specified heading ±10°,
ai10/-0 knots, and specified angle of bank ±10°.
