This maneuvers guide is a compilation of standard flight training maneuvers and procedures for the typical training single engine fleet.
It is designed to provide standardized procedures for each flight-training maneuver listed in typical light aircraft and flight training courses. This reference guide’s main benefit is in “chair flying.” Chair flying allows pilots to mentally run through the procedure and maneuver while at home. The brain's capacity to imagine and visualize the procedure is far more impressive than most give it credit for. A student pilot who spends considerable amounts of time chair flying will greatly outperform those who don’t. Chair flying cements the procedure for the various maneuvers in the pilot's brain so that when done in the airplane time is not wasted trying to remember how the procedure goes.
Each maneuver will include a list of references indicating where further information about the maneuver may be obtained. The references should be used to help develop a complete understanding of each maneuver before attempting them in flight. Along with an understanding of the completion standards and common errors.
