AIRWORK PROCEDURES
Priorto each airwork maneuveror series of maneuvers,check that looseitems are stowed and that
the training area is clear of other traffic. Ensurea safe altitudewill be maintainedthroughout the
maneuvers.Set the Mixtureto Rich (or as required), set the prop to 2250 RPM, and check the
engine instruments. Adjust the Gill Shutters and Oil Cooler door as required, and continueto
monitortemps throughoutthe maneuvers.Check that the landing gear and flap leversare inthe up
position prior to maneuversrequiringconfigurationchanges.
Steep Turns:
Purpose:To gain skill maneuveringthe aircraft with increased bank. Also, to imp;ove composite
crosscheckand situational awareness.
Entry:
o Area: Clear
o Mixture: Rich (or as required)
o Prop: 2250 RPM
o Throttle: As requiredto maintaincruisespeed of 220 kmlhr, 120 kts (about 550 mm
Hg)
o Bank: 45" and60" bank turns will be practiced. Coordinateincreasedbackpressure
to maintainaltitude, andadd throttleto holdairspeed (about650 mm
Hg).
Performleft and rightturns of 360".
Recovery:
o Rollout of bank, reducingbackpressureand powerto maintainaltitudeand airspeed.
Common Errors: Imprecisealtitudeand airspeedcontrol.

Purpose:To gain skill maneuveringthe aircraft at slow speeds, learnproper ruddercoordination,
andbeable
6 recognize"benchmark pitchand power settings. Also, recognizingthe pitchattitude
for levelflight at approachspeedwill aid in performingpropergo-arounds.
Common Errors: Poor ruddercoordination, and imprecisealtitudecontrol.
Clean Slow Flight:
Entry:
o Area: Clear
