PVT FL4 – Emergency Operations 636.357.8781 

Objective 

• Practice the maneuvers listed for review to gain additional proficiency and demonstrate 

the ability to recognize and recover from stalls. 

• The student will also receive instruction and practice in the maneuvers and procedures 

listed for introduction, including emergency operations and additional practice of airplane 

control by instrument reference (IR). 

• Instructor may demonstrate secondary, accelerated maneuver, crossed-controlled, and 

elevator trim stalls. 

• Emphasis will be on procedures related to airport operations, steep turns, slow flight, 

stalls and stall recovery.

Special Emphasis Area: Workload management 

REFERENCE: 

Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (PHAK) 

Chapter 16, p. 8 

Workload Management 

• Effective workload management ensures that essential operations are accomplished by 

planning, prioritizing, and sequencing tasks to avoid work overload 

• Prepare for high workload periods during times of low workload 

• “Aviate, Navigate, Communicate” 






Pilot-in-Command Responsibilities

91.3: Responsibility and Authority of the Pilot in Command 

§ 91.3 Responsibility and authority of the pilot in command. 

(a) The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final 

authority as to, the operation of that aircraft. 

(b) In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command 

may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent required to meet that 

emergency. 

(c) Each pilot in command who deviates from a rule under paragraph (b) of this 

section shall, upon the request of the Administrator, send a written report of that 

deviation to the Administrator.
