ATP Electronics Piper Archer - Lazy Eights

42 • In-Flight Maneuvers
GROUND USE ONLY
COM Lazy Eights
Lazy Eights are to be accomplished at an entry altitude that will allow the task to be
completed no lower than 1,500' AGL. The applicant is required to maintain coordinated
ight throughout the maneuver, with a constant change of pitch and roll rate.
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 of the wing
5. Simultaneously increase pitch and bank (slowly)
6. 45° point – 15° pitch up, 15° bank
7. Reduce pitch / increase bank
8. 90° point – level pitch, 30° bank - min. speed (5-10 knots above stall)
9. Continue reducing pitch and reduce bank
10. 135° point – 15° pitch down, 15° bank
11. 180° point – level ight, entry airspeed and altitude
12. Repeat in opposite direction
