  1. PRIVATE PILOT STEEP TURNS

  2. STEEP TURNS • Objective:

  3. STEEP TURNS • Objective: • To develop smoothness, coordination, orientation, division of attention, and control techniques while executing a high-performance turn

  4. STEEP TURNS • Introduction:

  5. STEEP TURNS • Introduction: • Ever wonder what it is like to be in a centrifuge?

  6. STEEP TURNS • Introduction: • Ever wonder what it is like to be in a centrifuge? • Well here is your chance while at the same time testing your piloting abilities!

  7. STEEP TURNS • Overview:

  8. STEEP TURNS • Overview: • Discuss the elements involved with a steep turn

  9. STEEP TURNS • Overview: • Discuss the elements involved with a steep turn • Explain the procedures to execute a steep turn

  10. STEEP TURNS • Overview: • Discuss the elements involved with a steep turn • Explain the procedures to execute a steep turn • Review the practical test standards for a steep turn

  11. STEEP TURNS • Elements:

  12. STEEP TURNS • Elements: • More than 45° bank

  13. STEEP TURNS • Elements: • More than 45° bank • After 45° of bank the over-banking tendency of an airplane overcomes stability

  14. STEEP TURNS • Elements: • More than 45° bank • After 45° of bank the over-banking tendency of an airplane overcomes stability • Bank tends to increase unless pressure is applied to aileron controls to prevent it

  15. STEEP TURNS • Elements: • More than 45° bank • After 45° of bank the over-banking tendency of an airplane overcomes stability • Bank tends to increase unless pressure is applied to aileron controls to prevent it • High load factors are imposed

  16. STEEP TURNS • Elements: • More than 45° bank • After 45° of bank the over-banking tendency of an airplane overcomes stability • Bank tends to increase unless pressure is applied to aileron controls to prevent it • High load factors are imposed • Large amount of vertical component of lift is lost and so back pressure on elevator is needed

  17. STEEP TURNS • Procedure:

  18. STEEP TURNS • Procedure: • Execute two clearing turns

  19. STEEP TURNS • Procedure: • Execute two clearing turns • Establish a specific heading (and outside reference) and altitude (> 1500’ AGL)

  20. STEEP TURNS • Procedure: • Execute two clearing turns • Establish a specific heading (and outside reference) and altitude (> 1500’ AGL) • Roll into a 45° bank while maintaining altitude with necessary back pressure

  21. STEEP TURNS • Procedure: • Execute two clearing turns • Establish a specific heading (and outside reference) and altitude (> 1500’ AGL) • Roll into a 45° bank while maintaining altitude with necessary back pressure • Complete a left and right 360° heading change

  22. STEEP TURNS • Procedure: • Execute two clearing turns • Establish a specific heading (and outside reference) and altitude (> 1500’ AGL) • Roll into a 45° bank while maintaining altitude with necessary back pressure • Complete a left and right 360° heading change • Power may be required to maintain airspeed above a stall

  23. STEEP TURNS • Procedure: • Lead rollout to heading by one-half the bank angle

  24. STEEP TURNS • Procedure: • Lead rollout to heading by one-half the bank angle • Use horizon and glare shield/cowling to maintain pitch attitude

  25. STEEP TURNS • Procedure: • Lead rollout to heading by one-half the bank angle • Use horizon and glare shield/cowling to maintain pitch attitude • If loss of altitude occurs, decrease bank, add back pressure to regain altitude, and establish higher pitch attitude

  26. STEEP TURNS • Procedure: • Lead rollout to heading by one-half the bank angle • Use horizon and glare shield/cowling to maintain pitch attitude • If loss of altitude occurs, decrease bank, add back pressure to regain altitude, and establish higher pitch attitude • If gain of altitude occurs, increase bank (max 55°), decrease pitch attitude and or power

  27. STEEP TURNS

  28. STEEP TURNS • Practical Test Standards:

  29. STEEP TURNS • Practical Test Standards: • Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to steep turns

  30. STEEP TURNS • Practical Test Standards: • Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to steep turns • Selects an altitude that will allow the task to be performed no lower than 1500’ AGL

  31. STEEP TURNS • Practical Test Standards: • Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to steep turns • Selects an altitude that will allow the task to be performed no lower than 1500’ AGL • Establishes the manufacturer’s recommended airspeed or if one is not stated, the examiner may designate a safe airspeed not to exceed VA

  32. STEEP TURNS • Practical Test Standards: • Rolls into a coordinated 360° turn; maintains a 45° bank +-5°, and rolls out on the entry heading of +-10°

  33. STEEP TURNS • Practical Test Standards: • Rolls into a coordinated 360° turn; maintains a 45° bank +-5°, and rolls out on the entry heading of +-10° • Performs the task in the opposite direction, as specified by the examiner

  34. STEEP TURNS • Practical Test Standards: • Rolls into a coordinated 360° turn; maintains a 45° bank +-5°, and rolls out on the entry heading of +-10° • Performs the task in the opposite direction, as specified by the examiner • Maintains the entry altitude, +-100 feet, and airspeed +-10 knots

  35. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors:

  36. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Improper Pitch, bank, and power coordination during entry and rollout

  37. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Improper Pitch, bank, and power coordination during entry and rollout • Increasing pitch attitude before establishing bank angle with resulting gain in altitude

  38. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Improper Pitch, bank, and power coordination during entry and rollout • Increasing pitch attitude before establishing bank angle with resulting gain in altitude • Not releasing back pressure in recovery with resulting gain in altitude

  39. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Improper Pitch, bank, and power coordination during entry and rollout • Increasing pitch attitude before establishing bank angle with resulting gain in altitude • Not releasing back pressure in recovery with resulting gain in altitude • Not enough or too much bank

  40. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Improper Pitch, bank, and power coordination during entry and rollout • Increasing pitch attitude before establishing bank angle with resulting gain in altitude • Not releasing back pressure in recovery with resulting gain in altitude • Not enough or too much bank • No use of power to assist in maintaining altitude

  41. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Slipping or skidding through maneuver

  42. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Slipping or skidding through maneuver • Inappropriate control applications

  43. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Slipping or skidding through maneuver • Inappropriate control applications • Not making minor adjustments in altitude and bank through maneuver resulting in the need for major adjustments

  44. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Slipping or skidding through maneuver • Inappropriate control applications • Not making minor adjustments in altitude and bank through maneuver resulting in the need for major adjustments • Loss of orientation – Initial heading forgotten and reference point can no longer be found

  45. STEEP TURNS • Common Errors: • Slipping or skidding through maneuver • Inappropriate control applications • Not making minor adjustments in altitude and bank through maneuver resulting in the need for major adjustments • Loss of orientation – Initial heading forgotten and reference point can no longer be found • Excessive deviation from desired heading during rollout due to poor planning of rollout

  46. STEEP TURNS • Conclusion:

  47. STEEP TURNS • Conclusion: • The steep turn is a performance based maneuver that tests various piloting ability from coordination, orientation, smoothness, and division of attention. A pilot will learn just how well his/her airplane will perform once the added loads are implied on the wings at a 45° bank.

  48. STEEP TURNS • Review Questions: • What is VA for our training aircraft?

  49. STEEP TURNS • Review Questions: • What is VA for our training aircraft? • What is the minimum altitude required before we begin a steep turn?

  50. STEEP TURNS • Review Questions: • What is VA for our training aircraft? • What is the minimum altitude required before we begin a steep turn? • Why is it important to note the initial heading before we begin a steep turn?
