Commercial Pilot Flight Maneuvers Briefing


Steep Turns and Chandelles

1. At what altitude should you perform steep turns and chandelles?

2. What is the correct entry speed for these maneuvers?

3. How do you perform a steep turn? What bank angle should you use?

4. If an aircraft weighs 2,500 pounds, how much weight must the wings support during a level turn with 60 degrees of bank?

5. Explain the changes in elevator pressure necessary to maintain level flight during the roll from a steep turn in one direction to a turn in the opposite direction.

6. If the aircraft is descending during a steep turn, what corrective action should you take to maintain altitude?

7. What is the maximum recommended angle of bank for the chandelle?

8. Explain the power adjustments you would use during performance of a chandelle.

9. What should your airspeed be at the completion of the chandelle?

10. Describe the differences in control pressures between the rollout from a chandelle to the right and one to the left?

11. Explain why the rudder pressure is required during performance of the chandelle? Where is the rudder pressure gauge?

12. Although the chandelle is considered a maximum performance maneuver, explain why altitude gain is not the basis for judging the quality of the maneuver?

13. Explain how you should recover from the chandelle.

14. What can you expect with regard to control pressures at the completion of a 180 degree change in direction during a chandelle? Explain.
