Common mistakes include neglecting clearing turns, delaying stall recovery, and misusing the rudder. Lift : The aerodynamic force generated due to airflow over the wings. The aircraft’s deceleration reduces the airflow over the wings, which reduces lift. So, how do we increase lift to maintain altitude?

The higher speed creates extra lift, causing the airplane to bank further into the turn. The aileron on the right wing deflects down, increasing the camber and creating more lift. The left wing’s aileron deflects up, decreasing lift. The lift imbalance causes the roll. This drag imbalance amplifies the adverse yaw.

A smaller bank angle will result in more lift, while an increased bank angle will reduce the lift. As an aircraft banks, lift is divided into horizontal and vertical components. The horizontal component of lift causes the aircraft to turn. Combining both components of lift, the total lift required increases.

This can cause you to lose lift. Remember Bernoulli’s Theorem and how lift is created. The loss of lift causes the aircraft to stall and lose altitude. The ACS states that recovery should be completed no lower than 1,500 ft AGL for single-engine aircraft and 3,000 ft AGL for multi-engine aircraft.

This creates boundary layer separation, resulting in a loss of lift. This requires rudder input to maintain directional control. Be careful because retracting the flaps causes the center of the lift to move forward. The FAA recommends that stalls should be practiced no lower than 1,500 ft AGL. What Is a Power-on Stall?

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. There were some patches of moderate lift and sink as would be expected on a normal summer soaring day. At this point he still had an altitude of 8,275 ft MSL, i.e. 2,739 ft AGL.

x V SO (or POH recommendation) by around 500 feet AGL. Establish the target approach speed by around 500 feet AGL. Reducing lift puts more weight on the wheels. Use the rudder to keep the aircraft in line with the runway and apply aileron into the wind. These stick and rudder skills will help you with crosswind landings.
