Pitch And Power Exercises

摘要

We've all struggled with it at some point. Maybe as a student you kept neglecting to add power when leveling off after a descent, or perhaps you couldn't quite grasp whether to pull back or push forward. I'm currently helping a friend of mine teach a primary student to fly. Our student is really struggling to get a clear handle on how all this fits together.rnAfter I suggested some additional study and reading that didn't produce the desired "Aha!" moment, I came up with a few new ways to try to get the concepts across. Figuring it never hurts to review the basics, perhaps this might help you or someone yournknow gain a better understanding of the sometimes subtle effects that even small changes in power or pitch can have on altitude and airspeed. This better understanding may help a VFR pilot simply maintain better control of their aircraft. It might even help an old pro keep the needles glued to the center. We'll look at examples of both.
