maximum power heavy control pressures
• Carburetor heat on (fully out), or as
required • Carburetor heat off (fully in) • Maintain wings-level with
coordinated aileron and rudder
• Power to IDLE (throttle fully out)
• The combined force of thrust,
• Establish glide attitude and best torque, and back elevator trim cause the nose to rise • Complete normal go-around and level-off procedures
glide speed sharply and turn to the left
• Retract gear and flaps (in increments) as airspeed
Manufacturer Recommended best glide • Do not attempt to correct these forces reaches VY
speed _______ knots
• Resume normal flight attitude, power, and airspeed
with minimum loss of altitude
• Re-trim airplane for the glide, as would be done during
a landing approach (nose-up trim) • When pitch attitude increases above the normal
climbing attitude, and it is apparent a stall is imminent, Evaluation:

• Perform a stall
• Allow airplane to stall for a second time • Allow airspeed to build before returning to straight-and-
• At full stall, release back pressure level flight
• Add full power • Resume normal flight attitude, power, and airspeed
with minimum loss of altitude
• Practice from both a power-on and power-off stalled
• At full stall, release back pressure condition
Evaluation:
• Pull back on the control column before the airplane • Demonstrate and simultaneously explain secondary
has regained sufficient flying speed stalls, in selected landing gear and flap configuration,
• Maintain wings-level with coordinated aileron and from an instructional standpoint
rudder • Analyze and correct simulated common errors related
to secondary stalls in selected landing gear and flap
configurations

LAZY EIGHTS

Task:
Continued
38 Lazy Eights
• Arrive at maximum bank angle 30° at 90° reference • At the 180° reference point, airplane is momentarily • Pass the 135° reference point with the lowest nose
point level attitude for maneuver
• Pitch attitude is momentarily level • Reduce bank angle through 15°
• Take note of minimum airspeed • Speed continues to increase
• Take note of maximum altitude • Pitch begins increasing
• Pitch continues to decrease • Bank angle continues to decrease
• Bank decreases
• Speed increases
