Before any exercise involving a change in direction and/or altitude, it is necessary to check that there is no traffic that could cause a conflict within the airspace.
Maintaining Command in Slow Flight
In the area of slow flight, it is possible that a disproportionate variation in induced drag changes the speed considerably. You can only cope with the increase in power if you already have your hands on both the THROTTLE and the flight controls.
The procedure is called HOTAS
H - Hands
O - On
T - Throttle
A - And
S - Stick
This rule is extremely important in final approach, aerobatics and when piloting combat aircraft.
Maintaining Command in the Vicinity of V STALL
In the vicinity of the STALL it is important to pay particular attention to the control of the lateral attitude, and it is essential to handle the roll control with caution. Abrupt movements can cause a stall to one side and thus lead to a spin.
If the aircraft is going into a spin, the angle of attack must be reduced immediately and the power of the engine reduced to IDLE.
The Careful Handling of the THROTTLE
When recovering from a POWER OFF STALL, it is necessary to restore the power as quickly as possible. This increase in power must take into account the engine’s torque. This takes time. If the THROTTLE is moved too suddenly, several problems may occur:
The amount of fuel added can not be fully used. The engine can not recover because the fuel mixture is not correct. This happens only briefly but just when this full power would be most appreciated!
Engine «drowns» and may stop.
During a rapid increase in power, the THROTTLE movement must be measured according to the engine’s recovery capability.
