For the FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) Airplane Single Engine (ASE) checkride, the demonstration stalls are specific maneuvers that you, as a CFI candidate, must perform and explain to demonstrate your instructional knowledge and ability. There are indeed four demonstration stalls youll need to master for the CFI checkride.

Recovery from a spin is a guaranteed subject to come up on your private pilot checkride. The nose pitches up, sometimes aggressively because of how the airplane was trimmed on final approach and all your flaps are generally still down (lots of lift there). So how do you recover from a spin? What happens next? Take your time!

You then execute a 180 o descending Final Turn maintaining 175 knots to arrive wings-level one mile from the threshold on final approach at 500 AGL. At that point, you slow to the final approach speed of 155 knots, which is held until crossing the approach-end overrun where you reduce power to touch down at 130 knots.

While complete engine failures are not common, the stakes are high which is why pilots train extensively for such occurrences and why they get evaluated as part of a checkride. Choose a location that will best ensure your successful outcome ideally, a flat, open field absent obvious approach obstructions. C Checklist. E Execute.

Most modern training airplanes provide a comfortable, warm cabin up in the air, even as the temperature approaches 0° F outside. You’ll quickly learn the importance of speed control on final approach and how to make real-world use of the soft-field takeoff and landing techniques.

As the plane descends toward the runway on final approach, it may encounter various scenarios where a safe landing cannot be assured. As soon as the pilot realizes this, they must abort the landing and climb back to traffic pattern altitude and attempt the approach and landing again. How Do You Perform a Go-Around?

Yet all indications are he succumbed to a simple stall on final approach. On final approach for a third landing and following a Zenith STOL 701 also on final, the accident airplane descended and appeared to be lower than the airplane ahead. How might that have happened? Subsequently, its pitch attitude increased.
