ed. The important
thing to
bear
in
mind in flight maneuvers is
that the
airplane is clean in aerodynamic design and will build up
speed quickly
with
the
nose down. Proper
speed
control is an essential requirement
for execution of any
maneuver,
and care should always be exercised
to
avoid excessive speed
which
in
turn
can impose excessive loads. In
the
execution of all maneuvers, avoid abrupt use of controls.
