Maneuvers Guide
All airspeeds are shown as Knots/MPH
Emergency Landing/Engine Failure Power-Off Stall
Pitch for best glide 65 knots/80 mph Hold heading ±10° or up to a 20° bank turn
Select landing spot, go there and circle Clearing turn
Troubleshoot- Carb Heat On
Carb heat on Power to 1500 RPM
fuel selector on both Walk flaps in 10° at a time until down
mixture full rich Slow to 59 knots/71 mph
throttle half in Pitch for stabilized descent, call altitude
cycle magnetos Level off at altitude until stall
primer in and locked
Squawk 7700, Report on Freq or 121.5
Secure for landing- Power-On stall
Hold heading ±10° or up to a 20° bank turn
fuel selector off
Clearing turn
mixture off
Carb Heat On
throttle idle Power to 1500 RPM
magnetos off Slow to Rotation speed
flaps as req’d Full Power/Carb Heat Off
master off Pitch up 10-12 degrees, increasing until stall
doors open Stay Coordinated
At stall, recover by pitching to horizon
Climb out at Vx
Spin Recovery – Positive rate pitch for Vy
P – power to idle Climb to original altitude
A – ailerons neutral Cruise Checklist
R – rudder opposite the spin
E – elevators forward
Pull out of resulting dive Recovery – Slow flight/Stalls
Simultaneously- pitch/full power/carb heat
off
Slow Flight Decrease flaps by 10°
Hold altitude +/- 100’ and Heading +/- 10° Pitch for Vx
Clearing turn Positive rate – decrease flaps another 10°
Carb Heat On Passing Vy – flaps up
Reduce power to approx. 1500 RPM Climb- original altitude or nearest cardinal
Walk flaps in 10° at a time altitude
Maintain altitude and heading Return to normal cruise/checklist
Approaching stall – stall horn comes on
Add power to approx. 1800-2000 RPM to
maintain altitude
Pitch for Airspeed to keep horn on
Power for Altitude
Turns no more than 20° bank
Steep Turns – Soft Field Take-Off –
Altitude ±100’, speed ±10 Flaps - 10°
Clearing turn, pick heading Roll onto runway, yoke to chest
Approx. 2100 RPM, Va or less Full power, holding nose up
45° bank, ±5°, turn 360 degrees Relax back pressure as speed increases
Add pwr/pitch passing 30° bank Rotate/liftoff at earliest airspeed
Roll out at original, pitch fwd Lower nose to stay in ground effect
45-degree bank opposite direction Approaching Vy, start positive climb
Roll out at heading and altitude Positive rate - flaps up, climb to TPA at Vy
Turns Around a Point – Soft Field Landing –
Altitude +/- 100’ Airspeed +/- 10 Same as normal approach until on final
Find a pond or oil derrick On final verify full flaps
Maneuver @ 1,000 feet AGL In flare, keep 100-200 RPM extra
Clearing Turn Land as slow/soft as possible just above stall
Approx. 2100 RPM, Va or less When main gear on, reduce pwr to idle
Enter downwind Hold nose off on ground roll, yoke to chest
Steepest bank - 45° No brakes, continue rolling
Maintain constant distance from point
Bank angle changes with groundspeed
Exit after 2 turns, back to normal cruise Short Field Take-Off –
Use ALL available runway
Flaps - 10°
S-Turns – Hold brakes, check full power
Altitude +/- 100’ Airspeed +/- 10 Slightly tail low, rotate 5 early
Find a road perpendicular to the wind Pitch for Vx, clear obstacle or 50’
Maneuver @ 1,000 feet AGL Transition to Vy, maintain until TPA
Clearing Turn Flaps up at Vy
Approx. 2100 RPM, Va or less
Approach road downwind
Steepest bank - 45° Short Field Landing –
Initial turn to left Same as normal approach until final
Bank angle changes with groundspeed Call touchdown spot on downwind
Wings parallel to road as you cross it On final verify full flaps
Turn to right Aim at a point before touchdown point
Bank angle changes with groundspeed Pitch for Vx on final, power for glide path
Wings parallel to road as you cross it Flare early because of higher sink rate
Continue along the road Power to idle before touchdown
Exit downwind, back to normal cruise “Carrier” landing, firmly on mains then nose
Simulate maximum braking
