Emergency Descent
During a simulated emergency descent, the applicant must be able to recognize
situations requiring an emergency descent, such as cockpit smoke and/or re.
Situational awareness, appropriate division of attention, and positive load factors should
be maintained during the maneuver and descent.
1. Perform two 90° clearing turns
2. Clean conguration ow
3. Reduce throttle to idle
4. Initiate turning descent, while clearing for trac
5. Maintain (training) 120 KIAS
6. Notify ATC/Trac as appropriate
COM Chandelles
Chandelles are to be accomplished at an entry altitude that will allow completion
no lower than 1,500' AGL, and consist of one maximum performance climbing turn
beginning from straight-and-level ight, and ending at the completion of a precise 180°
turn in a wings-level, nose-high attitude at the minimum controllable airspeed.
1. Perform two 90° clearing turns
2. 100 KIAS (approx. 2300 RPM), maintain altitude
3. Clean conguration ow
4. Choose a reference point o wing
5. Establish / maintain 30° bank
6. Full throttle – increase pitch to attain approx. 10-12° pitch up at 90°
point

st
90° of turn – Bank = constant 30°, Pitch = increasing to 10-12° pitch up
7. 90° point – maintain pitch, reduce bank angle to attain level ight at
180° point

nd
90° of turn – Pitch = constant 10-12° pitch up, Bank = decreasing to level ight
8. 180° point – wings level, minimum controllable airspeed
9. Accelerate while maintaining level ight
