Aircraft Weight and Limitations An aircraft’s weight affects inertia and stopping distance. The POH lists landing distances for specific gross weights. Smaller aircraft may only have short field landing distances for maximum gross weight. Power controls the rate of descent, and pitch controls airspeed.

We continued our descent for a couple of seconds and then he began a turn again to the left towards the taxiway. When power was added, there were brief pitch oscillations before the plane departed the left side of the runway, as if P-factor and lack of right rudder input were present. One checkout was at normal weight and c.g.

Common mistakes include neglecting clearing turns, delaying stall recovery, and misusing the rudder. This is often the clean configuration at max gross weight. As you increase the throttle, anticipate the need to add more right rudder. Keep an eye on the turn coordinator and nudge the rudder in the direction it indicates.
