All of these maneuvers are basic and have to be completely memorized. The left column shows events to wait for. The next column over shows the indicated action to perform when that event occurs, and the right column shows consequences to expect as a result. Actions marked by an asterisk are redundant: they should already have been completed in a previous step.

Perform before each instance of a maneuver.
Recover from slow flight, stall, or aborted landing (“go-around”).
| Pitch (forward, probably) so as to maintain a positive rate of climb | |
Airspeed VX (60 kts) |
| Pitch so as to maintain a positive rate of climb |
Clear of obstacles |
| Pitch for VY attitude |
Airspeed VY (73 kts) | ||
Climb to specified altitude | Cruise checklist |
Used to gain proficiency in handling the aircraft near stalling speed.
| Anticipate pitch-down, maintain altitude | |
Airspeed ≤ 110 kts |
| Anticipate pitch-up, maintain altitude |
Airspeed in flap operating range (white arc) |
| Anticipate pitch-up, maintain altitude |
Stall warning horn |
| Maintain altitude |
Simulates a stall on landing and the required recovery.
As Slow Flight | but after flaps 40° do not wait for stall warning horn, and get hand on throttle immediately in preparation | |
Airspeed at approach speed (65 kts) |
|
|
Full stall | Recovery procedure |
Simulates a stall on take-off and the required recovery.
| Hand on throttle immediately in preparation. Simulating take-off, so no flaps on this one! | |
Airspeed: VR (55 kts) |
Get into ‘take-off configuration’ and simultaneously
induce the stall:
| Anticipate lots of right rudder to maintain heading, using the side windows and peripheral vision. |
Full stall | Recovery procedure |
Proficiency in compensating for reduced lift and flying with increased load factor.
Add power for, but do not exceed, VA (97 kts at maximum gross weight) | ||
About 5 kts below VA (> 70 kts) |
| At around 30° of bank vertical airspeed would definitely become negative, so anticipate and pitch up to compensate. Maintain altitude and constant bank angle. |
Visual reference point within 22 1/2 lateral |
| Under around 30° of bank vertical airpseed would definitely become positive, so anticipate and pitch down to compensate. Maintain altitude, and roll out at initial heading. |
