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. The main factors which determine the angle of attack of a wing are, airspeed, weight, and load factor.

As the helicopter continued towards the airport, the airspeed began to decrease. The indicated airspeed had fallen below 65 knots and was still decreasing. As the airspeed decayed, the right yaw increased. The helicopter was at treetop height with an indicated airspeed of zero knots when the right yaw ceased.

For example, some aircraft limit flaps and gear in icing until on approach or forbid the use of speed brakes or require a minimum thrust setting. Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius. What specific indicated airspeed will be flown/adhered to during the circling maneuver? What speed on final approach?
