60° of bank. Allow the nose of the aircraft to start down while continuing to increase
the angle of bank, planning to arrive at 90° of bank as the fuselage dot of the
miniature aircraft reaches the horizon bar. Begin decreasing the angle of bank as the
fuselage dot of the miniature aircraft reaches the horizon bar so that the wing tip of
the miniature aircraft reaches the horizon bar as 60° of bank is reached. Maintain the
wing tip on the horizon bar while rolling to a wings level attitude. The rate of roll
during the recovery should be the same as the rate of roll used during the entry.
Control pitch and bank throughout the maneuver by reference to the attitude
indicator.

2.5.2.2. Aileron Roll (Figure 2.9). Begin the maneuver from straight and level flight
after obtaining the desired airspeed. Smoothly increase the pitch attitude, with the
wings level, to 15° to 25° nose up on the attitude indicator. Start a roll in either
direction and adjust the rate of roll so that, when inverted, the wings will be level as
the fuselage dot of the miniature aircraft passes through the horizon bar. Continue the
roll and recover in a nose low, wings level attitude. The entire maneuver should be
accomplished by reference to the attitude indicator. Use sufficient back pressure to
