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

  • 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
