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
