Description:
Pilot smoothness and coordination is tested throughout multiple 360
°
turns while banked at 45-60
°
. Management of bank, AOA
(pitch), and power are critical to maintaining a consistent turn.
Common Errors:
•
Inadequate pitch on entry or rollout
•
Gaining/Losing altitude or airspeed
•
Failure to maintain a constant bank angle
•
Uncoordinated Controls
•
Ineffective use of Power
•
Premature/Excessive rollout on heading
•
Over-reliance on instrument instead of visual references

Description:
Practiced to develop awareness and corrective responses to excessive pitch attitudes during takeoff and climbs (typically over
obstacles) that result in stalls.
Common Errors:
•
Failure to properly configure the airplane (power, flaps, gear)
•
Improper pitch, heading (straight-ahead stalls), and bank control
•
Rough or uncoordinated control inputs
•
Failure to recognize stall warnings or to achieve a stall
•
Delayed recovery, excessive altitude loss, or entering a secondary stall
