Descending Excerise #8

[imfsub12]

Yes need some instructors or other pilot to comment on this poll. Return from stright and level flight from power off decent. what is the recover procedures..

[wridon]

Begin the descent and the recovery from the descent with the same order of steps: Power, Attitude, Trim

 

If you change attitude first to begin the descent the aircraft will begin to accelerate (not usually desirable).

 

If you change the attitude first in the recovery the aircraft will begin to decelerate (also not usually desirable).

 

Work with momentum not against it.

Last thing you want to do is get behind the power curve.

 

Recovery from a descent should not turn into a slow flight exercise, although it might make an effective demonstration as to why power comes first. :up:
