The airplane will be flown at 1,000’ AGL parallel to and at an equal distance from the field boundaries – about ½ – ¾ miles from the boundary as you would fly a traffic pattern. The bank angle should be reduced gradually with coordinated aileron and rudder input.

We counteract adverse yaw by applying rudder in the direction of the turn. The amount of rudder required depends on roll rate and airspeed. Airspeed and attitude change constantly, and we must change rudder input along with them. We apply right rudder to counteract the left-turning tendencies.

In the Cessna 172S Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH), the landing distance decreases by 10% for every 9 knots of headwind. For the Cessna 172, landing distance increases by 10% for every 2 knots of tailwind. x V SO (or POH recommendation) by around 500 feet AGL. Let’s factor in the 9-knot headwind.

Slow Flight Fundamentals To practice slow flight , first you’ll climb to an altitude where the whole maneuver can be completed no lower than 1,500’ AGL. The standards for slow flight on a Private Pilot checkride are: maintain the specified altitude, ±100 feet; specified heading, ±10°; airspeed, +10/-0 knots; and specified angle of bank, ±10°.

He only needed a glide ratio of 14:1 to reach the airfield to arrive at a typical pattern altitude of 1,000 ft AGL. At this point he still had an altitude of 8,275 ft MSL, i.e. 2,739 ft AGL. This is consistent with Rick’s report, which referenced 9 knots of wind. His altitude was 1339 AGL and his ground speed was 92 kts.

VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. It might be no greater than 6 knots with gusts to 10 mph. Then the CFI should increase the winds so they are 10 knots (or more) above the demonstrated crosswind component. You may even put the learner in and out of the clouds.

Common mistakes include neglecting clearing turns, delaying stall recovery, and misusing the rudder. Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft. For a greater margin of safety, select an altitude that leaves you 1,500 feet AGL after recovery from a stall.
