LESSON: #4, Slow flight and stall entries and recoveries
GROUND WORK
Suggested student homework assignments:
Airplane Flying Handbook – Chapter 4 - Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training
Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge – Chapter 5 – Aerodynamics of Flight
Gold Seal Online Ground School – Section 2,
o Stalls, Spins, and Spirals
o Stall Recovery Basics
o Wake Turbulance
o The Stabilized Approach
FLIGHT WORK
LESSON 4 – Slow flight and stall recoveries
Dual – ground: 0.5, flight: 1.0
Objective: Introduce student to slow flight and stall characteristics.
Discussion topics:
1) fundamentals of slow flight and stalls
2) terms – chord line, relative wind and angle of attack
3) static stability
4) axes on an aircraft: pitch – lateral, roll/bank – longitudinal, yaw – vertical
5) left turning tendency
6) spin awareness
Review:
1) constant airspeed climb and descent
2) turns to headings
3) practice area familiarization
Introduce:
1) flight at various airspeeds from cruise to slow flight
2) maneuvering during slow flight emphasizing correct use of rudder to negate increased adverse yaw at slow airspeeds
3) power-off stalls and recovery
4) power-on stalls and recovery
Completion standards:
1) Demonstration of understanding of stall and recovery concept
2) Demonstrates understanding of slow-flight concept through flight at minimum controllable airspeed
3) Altitude, heading, and airspeed at or near PTS standards
