Task A. Maneuvering During Slow Flight

Purpose of and procedures for proper slow flight.

Aerodynamics associated with slow flight in various airplane configurations, including the relationship between angle of attack, airspeed, load factor, power setting, airplane weight and center of gravity, airplane attitude, and yaw effects.

Common errors related to this Task.

Inadvertent slow flight and flight with a stall warning, which could lead to loss of control.

Range and limitations of stall warning indicators (e.g., aircraft buffet, stall horn, etc.).

Uncoordinated flight.

Effect of environmental elements on airplane performance (e.g., turbulence, microbursts, and high-density altitude).

Collision hazards.

Distractions, task prioritization, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation.
