PPL Maneuvers

Power Off Stalls (Stall on landing)

1.CRAAC

2. Carb heat, power 1900 HOLD ALTITUDE (We want the white arc)

3. Below 85 set flaps and stay above 60 kt

4. AT 60 for 3 secs, Power idle and pitch to maintain altitude. Don’t drop

5. Stay on rudders

6. Announce stall horn, buffet, and stall

7. Push down slightly to decrease AOA, cram power and carb, flaps 20

8. Nose just above the horizon, don’t drop

9. Pass 60 kt, flaps 10

10. Capture Vy, positive rate, flaps clean

Power On Stalls (Stall on takeoff)

1. CRAAC

2. Carb heat, power 1500 (We want to get to 50 kt and maintain altitude)

3. See 50 kt, full power, carb in, and pitch up

4. Stay on rudders (typically more right rudder) announce stall horn, buffet, don’t go past 30 bank the plane will stall

5. LOWER NOSE THEN LEVEL WINGS, maintain rudder

6. Nose to horizon don’t drop any more

7. At Vy and positive rate you’re good

Slow flight

1.CRAAC

2. Carb heat, power 1600 (Want flaps and maintain altitude)

3. Maintain altitude and below 85 add your flaps

4. Be at 5-10kt above stall speed. Power whatever keeps you level

Slow flight recovery

1. Full power, carb in, flaps 20

2. Nose to horizon, hold altitude

3. At 60kt, flaps 10

4. Vy and positive rate, clean flaps

Steep Turns

1. CRAAC

2. 90kt, straight and level

3. Roll 45 degrees to the left, while adding two swipes of trim

4. When ref point in sight, roll to the right and ensure altitude and speed

5. Fight the balloon, use outside reference

Unusual Attitude Nose Up

Full power-Wings level

Lower nose

Pitch, power, trim

Unusual attitude Nose down

Power Idle-Wings level

Slowly raise nose

Pitch power trim

Soft Field Takeoff (MINIMAL BRAKING)

1. Takeoff brief before entering runway

2. Flaps 10

3. Elevator fully back

4. Verify runway, full power, gauges green

5. Soften back pressure but keep front wheel up

6. After wheels up, lower nose to build airspeed

7. At Vx or Vy, see positive rate and flaps clean

Short field takeoff

1. Takeoff briefing before entering runway

2. Flaps 10

3. Taxi onto centerline and hold as much runway as possible

4. Hold brakes, full power, gauges green

5. Release brakes, at 50 kt rotate

6. Climb at Vx until obstacle is cleared (Vx)

7. After obstacle is cleared, reduce flaps and climb at Vy

Soft Field Landing

Regular Traffic Pattern UNTIL FLARE

Maintain flare until touchdown

Stay nose high/yoke back and keep weight off nosewheel

Short Field Landing

Regular traffic pattern until touchdown

Once wheels touch down, raise flaps and similar max braking

Rectangular Course

Enter at a 45 degree angle to the downwind-No wind correction

Base turn, you want it steep so you don’t go outward

On base leg, aim slightly into the wind

Base to upwind, you want a normal turn

On the upwind you don’t need wind correction, should be at your slowest

Upwind to crosswind turn, do a slower turn since wind is pushing you in anyways.

On crosswind, face away from the rectangle since wind is pushing you into it

Crosswind to downwind, sharper turn

Exit on downwind

At what point do you make your turn after crossing your line or road on S turns?

Immediately.

What is Vy on a 152 in Colorado?

63

What is Vx on a 152 in Colorado?

54

Engine failure what do you do?

Airspeed best glide-Trim if needed

Best place to land

Restart engine floor to door (Gas on, mixture enriched, throttle engage (for full airflow and fuel), carb heat on, ignition on both, primer in and locked

Circle or be in a patten for your place to land

Communicate. Squack 7700 and 121.5

Continue best glide until field is made, and once you know, use flaps and pitch.

Shutdown engine procedure-Fuel off, mixture off, ignition off, master as required, unlatch doors

Emergency descent?

Powerr IDLE

45 degrees of bank

Descend at 90 or more

Your engine is on fire

FLOOR TO DOOR

Fuel off

Mixture off

Master off

Keep mags

Cabin heat and air off/in

If it went out, master can come on, best place, communicate, flaps

Still on, pitch down till 100kt

Wingtip is on fire

Slip away from the fire while turning master off

Lights off

Pitot off

No flaps

Master on IF fire is out, and go to airport (when practical)

Electrical Fire

Master and all switches off (avionics, comms,speakers)

Cabin heat and air off/in and close vents

If fire is out, open vents to clear smoke, and turn master on and necessary switches

The Ammeter is showing an excessive rate of charge

ALTERNATOR OFF

Anything non-essential comes off

Land as soon as practical

The ammeter is showing a discharge/low voltage

1. Reduce the electrical load. Turn off avionics, lights, unnecessary avionics (Keep only essentials on)

2. Alternator switch off then back on after a bit (Maybe reset alternator circuit breaker?)

3. If still off, keep alternator off and expect battery-only operation

4. Land as soon as practical

Engine fire during start

CONTINUE CRANKING, we want a start

IF IT STARTS-power 1700 for a bit then shutdown

IF IT DOESN’T START-Continue cranking, master, ignition, and fuel off. Extinguish fire if possible
