Purpose
To introduce the effect of changing collective pitch on the aircraft.
Description
- Allow student to experiment with collective changes on the aircraft’s altitude and attitude
- Correlate collective inputs with the need for ATP inputs
Instructional aids and pre-requisites
- Ground Lesson
- Lesson IL-1 is a pre-requisite
Content
- In straight and level flight (75 kias), pass control of the collective to the student
- Allow student to observe the effect of increasing collective pitch on visual references, altitude, trim, and manifold pressure
- Have student perform climbs and descents using changes in collective pitch while maintaining proper trim
Common errors
- None specified
Completion standards
- Student will be able to maintain aircraft in trim when collective pitch is changed.
