Details regarding ALL flight maneuvers:
1. Low altitude flight maneuvers (e.g. S-turns, turns around a point, etc.) will be
conducted no less than 1,000' AGL.
2. High altitude flight maneuvers (e.g. slow flight, stalls, etc.) will be conducted no less
than 3,500' MSL in the Valparaiso area. If using the Piper Seminole in multi-engine
training, this altitude will be no less than 4,500' MSL.
3. Regardless of the maneuver being conducted, an emergency exit must be stated and
established before conducting any flight maneuver and clearing turns must be
performed.
4. During high altitude flight maneuvers, all recoveries will be above 1,500' AGL.
5. Students should be encouraged to talk their way through each maneuver.
Flight Maneuvers – Clearing Turns
1. Can be conducted at any altitude above a safe altitude.
2. Should be at least 2 – 90 degree turns (preferably first turn to the left, then to the
right) OR 180 degrees of turn (preferably turn to the left)
3. Must be actively looking for traffic at all times.
4. On high wing aircraft, clear the area to the left before the left turn by raising the left
wing before starting the turn.
5. On low wing aircraft, clear the area to the left before the left turn by lowering the left
wing before starting the turn.
Low altitude maneuvers – Turns around a point
1. Ensure area is clear of aircraft and obstructions and a clear area designated for
emergencies is declared.
2. Must be at pattern altitude – VPZ – 1,800' MSL
3. Reference point(s) should be verbally pointed out by both the student and instructor.
4. Must enter downwind and maximum bank angle of 30 degrees.
