reliable for accurate pitch and bank information throughout the turn. In addition the
altimeter, VSI, and airspeed all must be involved in the instrument cross check.
Entry:
• Establish a constant altitude and heading
• Airspeed 150 - 180 knots
• Smoothly roll into 45
• Simultaneously add power as required (2 - 3% N1) to maintain 180 knots and
increase pitch (add 2° nose up) to maintain altitude
• Start the rollout of the turn at 10
entry heading and smoothly reduce pitch and power to maintain altitude and
airspeed
In actual aircraft training, this maneuver must be accomplished above 3,000' AGL.

Slow Flight

Slow flight maneuvers may be used as an introduction to approaches to stalls. It is also
an excellent training maneuver to become proficient and comfortable with the flight
characteristics of the Eclipse 500 at slow airspeed and high angle of attack. Slow flight
