Manuvers (2025)

1- locate an emergency landing field
2- "GUMPS" Checklist
3- Clearing turns 90* to the left, and 90* to the right

G-as is adequate
U-ndercarriage (N/A) to the Piper Cherokee
M-ix is full rich
P-rop (N/A to cherokee)
S-witches like the lights and fuel pump are on

1- lineup on RW
2- MAKE SURE RW number is the same on the Magnetic Heading Indicator
3- full power airspeed alive and gauges are in the green
4- reach 1,357 ft (k48A field elevation) and depart traffic pattern

1- pre-manuver checklist
2- Select altitude (no lower than 1500ft)
3- Choose visual reference heading
4- set cruise speed 95-110 mph
5- start 360* turn with 45* of bank
6- roll out smoothly

- pre manuver checklist
- Alt. above 1500ft
- Visual heading reference
- reduce power (focus on maintaining heading and altitude)
- slowly put out flaps to full
- maintain 60-65 mph IAS (add power when neccessary to avoid stall)
----->Recovery
1- full power
2- retract flaps (20*)
3- establish climb
4- reach 75MPH flaps (10*)
5- 85* MPH flaps (0*) and maintain heading and altitude

1- premanuver check
2- Alt. above 1500ft
3- Visual/Heading reference
4- reduce power and mintain heading/atitude
5- full flaps (under 100MPH)
6- descend at 70 MPH
7- pitch up at 8-12 degrees to simulate flare and hold the angle
---->Recovery
1- full power
2- establish rate of climb
3- flaps up 25*
4- reach 75-85 MPH IAS
5- Look at rate of climb
6- 90 MPH flaps to 0*

1- pre manuver checklist
2- Alt. above 1500 AGL
3- Visual/heading
4- Reduce power and maintain heading/altitude
5- reach 70-75 MPH IAS and pitch up while adding full power
6- continue to pitch about 20-22* above the horzion and hold until the plane stalls
----> Recovery
1- reduce AOA
2- pitch for climb
3- level off and return to cruise flight (2100 RPMs)

1- before landing checklist
2- enter the downwind at a 45* angle either by teardrop or regular approach
3- Say, "Cochran Traffic Piper Cherokee November 1789 Alpha joining the downwind runway 25 left Cochran traffic."
- reduce power to 100 MPH IAS
4- Once you are abeam the touchdown point reduce power to 1500-1800 rpm
- check speed
- extend flaps to 10*
- slow to 90 MPH
5- Base say: "Cochran Traffic Piper Cherokee November 1789 Alpha turning left base runway 25 Cochran traffic."
- slow to 80 MPH
6- For Final Extend flaps to 40*
- set speed for 70 MPH
- aim for RW #'s
7- Flare then level out back and forth till you touchdown at stalling speed
- gently set nose on centerline and align the longittudianl axis with the centerline
- brake as neccesary

Regardless of flight rules vigilance and seperation should be kept for all aircrafts.

aircraft in distress has the right of way over all traffic.

each pilot should alter course to the right

- aircraft being overtaken has the right of way
- aircraft overtaking should pass on the right side

- aircraft of the same category being on the right side has the right of way
- balloon > glider > towing or refueling aircraft > powered parachute, weight shift control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft

why use this type of landing?
- because you ave trying to land on tough terrain unique to the type of and aircraft is built to land on
- objective is to land as smoothly as possible and at the slowest speed to prevent aircraft from sinking into the surface
→ steps
1- approach to soft field landing is similar to the normal approach of a long firm landing area where instead you decrease the degree of power and increase the pitch
2- nose should be held up on touchdown and on takeoff
→ look out for
- excessive descent speed
- hard touchdown
- rounding out too high above runway
- and letting the nose fall to the runway

why use this landing?
- to avoid obstacles on takeoff
- to stop at the shortest possible distance
→ steps
1- start from an altitude of 500ft with full flaps deployed
2- slightly reduce power when over the obstacle
3- approach speed should be no more than 1.3 vso ( 55kts)
→ what happens if you don't do this?
- may land to close to the obstacle
- may touchdown too far from runway threshold
→ pro tip
- using a steeper approach places pilot closer to the obstacle

- An aggravated stall condition that occurs after an initial stall
- occurs when aircraft starts to fall in a downward corkscrew path
→ scientific explanation
1- airplane rotates around vertical axis
2- lift and drag forces become diffrent for each wing due to one exceeding the critical angle of attack
3-airplane descends due to gravity rolling and yawing and pitching into a spiral path

1- is the plane approved for spins? (Check POH/AFM and regulations)
→ in the poh/afm look for
- limitation section, placards, type certifications
- weight and balance limitations
- reccomended entry and recovery patterns
- 14 CFR part 91 parachute requirements
2- make sure preflight inspection is thorough
3- clear the flight area above and below for other traffic
4- spins should always be performed at or above 1500ft AGL
→ tips
- the first turn of a spin should only loose l000ft white the other spins should only lose 500ft

1 - entry
-occurs when one wing exceeds AOA
2- incipient spin
- lasts about 4 to 6 seconds in light aircrafts
- takes 2 turns
3- fully developed spin
- airspeed , VSI, and rate of rotation are stabilized
- small training aircraft lose about 500ft per 3 second turn
4- recovery
- wings regain lift
- training aircraft usually recover in about 1/4 or 1/2 of a turn after antispin inputs are applied

1- reduce power to idle
2- position alierons to neutral
3- apply positive straight and forward elevator
4- neutralize rudder after spin stops
5- apply back elevator pressure to return to straight and level and adjust power

Emergency Procedures
- the autopilot could be considered emergency equipment to help relieve workload
- communications radio can be used to send a "mayday,"
- GPS can be used for "NRST" and "DIRECT TO" for navigation
- transponder should signal 7700
Items That you should have onboard
- fire extinguisher
- cell phone
- water and snacks
- pocetknife
- ELT activated
- first aid kit
