As the airspeed slows into the white arc, extend the wing flaps. When the airplane is stabilized in the approach attitude and speed, begin to smoothly and slowly bring the nose up to an attitude which will cause a stall. Right rudder pressure will be needed to offset the effect of the increase in power.

For heading corrections of five degrees or less, keep the wings level and use rudder pressure to change the heading. As the airspeed approaches the desired airspeed, the airspeed indicator becomes the primary power instrument and the altimeter is primary for pitch. And trim to relieve control pressures.

Alongside a nearby highway, some recognizable bits of airplane, the vertical stabilizer and rudder, a horizontal stabilizer and elevator, fell separately to Earth. The breakup started with rudder flutter. Flutter is a dangerous, complex, dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon dependent on true airspeed.
