FLIGHT MANOEUVRES / FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
Turns
28.
The C182 does not exhibit significant adverse yaw due to aileron drag. As a result, only
minimal rudder deflections are required to coordinate turns. Steep turns will require the addition
of power and aft control column pressure to achieve a slightly raised nose attitude to maintain
level flight.
Slow Flight
29.
Slow flight is a proficiency manoeuvre, which can be practised clean or with any amount
of flap. Establish a trimmed, level-flight attitude and reduce power. Apply flaps as required once
airspeed is below Vfe. Adjust attitude to maintain altitude as the airspeed falls and when the
stall warning horn blows, note the horn speed and maintain that speed. Power may need to be
applied to maintain altitude. Fine trim adjustments are required to produce the accuracy
desired.
Stalls
30.
The stall characteristics of the Cessna 182 are extremely benign. Due to the
aerodynamic modifications to the aircraft, aileron effectiveness is maintained well into the stall,
and the aircraft does not exhibit noteworthy wing-drop tendencies. The Stall Speed Chart is
provided in Part IV of this manual.
31.
Stall recoveries are emergencies demanding prompt action and a minimum loss of
altitude. While just lowering the nose will recover the aircraft from a stall, the loss of altitude will
usually be unacceptable. The immediate application of power will reduce the altitude loss to
almost zero with very little attitude change.
32.
Stall Recovery. The stall recovery procedure for this aircraft is consistent with most
general aviation aircraft and follows the acronym
PP (Push
– Power)
is as follows:
a.
P
- Push - Lower the nose when the stall is detected. If the wing drops during the
stall, correct with opposite rudder;
b.
P
- Power
– Apply full power simultaneously with lowering the nose; and
c.
after recovering from the stall, raise any flaps in steps and establish a climb to a
safe altitude.
NOTE
Stall recoveries are a critical emergency procedure
and shall be committed to memory.
