Chapter 9 Performance Maneuvers

9-1 IntroductionFlight Maneuvers that are initially taught to pilots are designed to be basic and relatively simple: straight-and-level, turns, climbs and descents. However, as a pilot continues through their flight training, additional Maneuvers are needed to develop beyond the fundamentals. Performance Maneuvers are intended to enhance a pilot s proficiency in flight control application, maneuver planning, situational awareness, and division of attention. To further that intent, Performance Maneuvers are generally designed so that the application of flight control pressures, attitudes, airspeeds, and orientations are constantly changing throughout the maneuver. Performance Maneuvers Chapter 99-2 Figure 9-1. Steep Maneuvers also allow for an effective assessment of a pilot s ability to apply the fundamentals; weakness in executing Performance Maneuvers is likely due to a pilot s lack of understanding or a deficiency of fundamental skills.

aviation airplane in a level altitude, 45° angle of bank turn will experience a load factor of 1.4 just as a large commercial airliner will in the same level altitude, 45° angle of bank turn. Because of the higher load factors, steep turns should be performed at an airspeed that does not exceed the airplane’s design maneuvering speed (V
