CHAPTER FIVE T-6B PRIMARY INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION<br />

Description.<br />

Airspeed - 150 KIAS normally, other airspeeds permissible.<br />

Attitude - 45° and 60° AOB.<br />

Procedure. Enter a steep turn in the same manner as a normal turn. Anticipate the addition of<br />

power to maintain a constant airspeed. Pitch required in the turn is higher than wings level<br />

flight. Anticipate pitch change as VSI lags behind actual aircraft performance. Use a constant<br />

angle of bank during steep turns, and attempt to correct altitude deviations by adjusting the pitch<br />

attitude. If altitude gain or loss is excessive, a decrease or increase in bank may help correct the<br />

pitch attitude.<br />

Use the known pitch and power settings in Figure 5-4. Add power passing 30° AOB. To roll out<br />

on the desired heading, lead the roll out by approximately 15° for a 45° AOB turn and 20° for a<br />

60° AOB turn. Lead points should be adjusted as necessary if consistently rolling out short or<br />

past the desired heading.<br />

Common Errors.<br />

1. Loss of altitude control.<br />

2. Unable to maintain desired angle of bank.<br />

3. Slow to set or inability to set desired power setting.<br />

506. VERTICAL S-1 PATTERN<br />

General. Practice instrument crosscheck.<br />

Description. This pattern is flown at 150 KIAS and on any numbered heading. It consists of a<br />

1000 FPM descent for 1000’, followed by a 1000 FPM climb for 1000’. This series of descents<br />

and climbs is performed twice.<br />

Procedure.<br />

1. Begin the pattern with the descent using a three–second lead prior to an even minute on the<br />

clock. Reduce the Power (applying simultaneous, proportional left rudder pedal control<br />

pressure) to approximately 15%, while simultaneously lowering the nose Attitude to the<br />

descending attitude, approximately 2º nose down, and re-Trim. After each 250’ of altitude<br />

change, crosscheck the clock for 15 seconds of elapsed time.<br />

2. The transition from the descent to the climb is started three seconds prior to the end of the<br />

descending minute or 50’ prior to the end of the 1000’ descent, whichever occurs first. Add<br />

power toward approximately 55% torque, while smoothly raising the nose toward the climbing<br />

attitude of approximately 4º nose up; re-trim for the 150 KIAS climbing attitude. As power is<br />
