PA-28 · Step through the procedure and watch attitude, airspeed, power and control position change together.
Pick a maneuver and step through it. The attitude, airspeed, heading, power and control positions all move together, so you can see what the airplane is doing and what your hands are doing at the same moment.
Nothing matches that. Try stall, landing, steep or ground.
Every speed and power setting in every maneuver comes from this profile. A saved aircraft from the site replaces it and every number below changes with it.
Wings level, cruise power, nothing moving yet.
Pylon locked on the reference. You are at pivotal altitude for this groundspeed.
Groundspeed is the only thing in that equation. Not bank, not turn radius, not weight. So in any wind, the altitude that holds the reference changes continuously through the turn.
Downwind side groundspeed rises, so pivotal altitude rises and you climb to stay with it. Upwind side groundspeed falls, pivotal altitude falls, and you descend. That climb and descent is the maneuver.
Arrow keys step, space plays, F runs the flow, Esc goes back. On a phone, swipe the picture.
