Objective

Develop the student’s understanding of the effects control and power inputs have on an aircraft in flight.

Elements

Discuss the effects of:

• power,
• rudder,
• stabilator,
• ailerons,
• flaps, and
• coordinated flight

on performance.

Execution

• setup; MRA considerations (1500/2000), Vy
  • trim technique
• power (full, idle, original)
• rudder (dutch roll)
• elevator (100 kt, climb, descend)
• aileron (adverse yaw, coordinated)
• flaps (10°, 25°, 40°; final approach, go-around, back to 0°)
• level flight
• coordinated flight (comparison – climb, stall, turn)
• turns (shallow, medium, steep)
• level turns (shallow, medium, steep)
• recover back to normal flight

Schedule

Conclusion	05
Total	40 minutes

Equipment

• model aircraft
• whiteboard and markers
• Airplane Flying Handbook
• UND standardization manual

Instructor actions

Describe setup and execution, using the standardization manual and model to describe different phases of the demonstration in a guided discussion. Probe for student’s level of understanding.

Student Actions

Review Airplane Flying Handbook and bring completed homework assignment to the briefing.

Completion standards

Student understands and can apply the aerodynamic effects of control inputs to an aircraft in flight with minimal instructor guidance.
