Steep Turns
Commercial pilots should perform to this bank angle
50 degrees
Steep spirals should be stopped by this altitude
1500' AGL
The entry speed for a chandelle
Va or 95-105 kts
The amount of bank established at the beginning of the maneuver
5 degrees
Pylons selected should be this distance apart
15-25 seconds
The most common stall in a steep turn
Accelerated stall
You must roll out of the established heading by this many degrees in a steep spiral
10
The purpose of a chandelle
Maximum performance climbing turn
The maximum pitch up angle of the maneuver
15 degrees
The formula for calculating pivotal altitude
GS2/11.3
The increase in lift on the outside wing causes this tendency
Overbanking
The speed you should enter the maneuver as well as the ACS standard for variation
80 kts and +/- 10kts
The 3 control inputs in the first 90 degrees of the maneuver
30 degree bank and hold, full power, gradual pitch up to 10-12 degrees
Maximum bank angle, minimum airspeed, nose falling though horizon
If the point moves forward or backward on your wingtip, you should correct with these inputs
If point is behind - apply back pressure, if point is ahead of you apple forward pressure
The approximate radius that should be kept from your reference point
1/4 mile
The turning tendencies most prevalent in the maneuver
P-Factor, and torque reaction
The point at which maximum altitude is reached in the maneuver
90 degrees
The pivotal altitude at 100 kts GS
885
In a Steep turn stall speed increases in proportion to this
The square root of the load factor
The reason the engine is cleared every 360 degrees in the maneuver
to prevent fouled spark plugs and excessive engine cooling
This rudder input is great in this turn than the other
Right rudder in the left turn
These three items are consistently varying throughout the maneuver (according to the supplement)
Pitch, roll rate (bank), airspeed
This gunship (used in the Vietnam war) was the most notably used one that applied eights on pylons in regards to combat operation
AC-47 "Spooky" gunship
