SCORED A+
What recommended standards should a flight instructor use to evaluate a
student's performance of the basic flight maneuvers? Answer - A. Maintain
desired heading +/- 10 degrees
B. Maintains desired altitude +/- 100 feet
C. Maintains desired airspeed +/- 10 knots
D. Maintains desired bank angle
What is a power on stall? Answer - Power-on stalls are as the name implies,
stalls in which full power is being developed as the airplane stalls. Intended to
simulate stalls at takeoff and departure configuration.
Explain the objective of power on stall. Answer - Familiarize pilot with the
condition the produces a stall, and develop the habit of taking prompt
preventive or corrective action.
What are the steps involved in performing a power-on stall? Answer - A.
Establish a specific heading and altitude (recovery by 1,500 ft. AGL)
B. Perform clearing turns
C. Establish take-off and departure configuration
D. Slow the aircraft to normal lift off speed
E. Apply takeoff power for a takeoff stall, or the recommended climb power for
departure stall.
,F. Establish a climb attitude
G. After the climb attitude is established, the nose should be brought smoothly
upward to an attitude obviously impossible for the airplane to maintain and
held at that attitude until a full stall occurs.
H. Recovery should be accomplished by immediately reducing the pitch
attitude/angle of attack, applying maximum power (not necessary in a takeoff
stall) and maintaining directional control through coordinated use of controls.
I. Control any yawing tendency with rudder.
J. Use ailerons to level wings as soon as possible.
What is a power off stall? Answer - Maneuver designed to simulate an
accidental stall occurring during a segment of a landing approach. Airplanes
equipped with flaps and/or retractable gear will be in the landing
configuration. Power-off stalls are practiced from straight-ahead flight as well
as from moderately banked turns to simulate as accidental stall during a turn
from base leg to final.
Va Answer - Design maneuvering speed. The design maneuvering speed (VA) is
the speed below which you can move a single flight control, one time, to its full
deflection, for one axis of airplane rotation only (pitch, roll or yaw), in smooth
air, without risk of damage to the airplane.
Vb Answer - Design speed for maximum gust intensity
Vc Answer - Design cruising speed
Vd Answer - Design driving speed
Vdf/Mdf Answer - Demonstrated flight diving speed
, Vef Answer - Speed at which the critical engine is assumed to fail during
takeoff
Vf Answer - Design flap speed
Vh Answer - Maximum speed in level flight with maximum continuous power
Vle Answer - Maximum landing gear extension speed
Vlo Answer - Maximum landing gear extended speed
Vlof Answer - means lift off speed
Vmc Answer - means minimum control speed with critical engine inoperative
Vmo/Mmo Answer - Maximum operating limit speed
Vmu Answer - Minimum unstick speed
Vne Answer - Never exceed speed
Vno Answer - Maximum structural cruising speed
Vr Answer - Rotation speed
Vs Answer - Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed at which the
airplane is controllable
