Level speed change - P-12850059

T-45C TS & ADV BIFP-04

Basic Flight Maneuvers and Transitions

(2) Trim as necessary to maintain neutral pressure

on stick

c. Exit

(1) Use 10% of the vertical rate as the lead point for

level off

(2) Set power to slow cruise

(3) Adjust pitch for level flight at 200 KIAS and

original altitude

10. Slow cruise: adjust pitch and power to maintain level

flight at 200 KIAS

11. Level speed change

a. Entry

(1) Advance power to MRT

b. In maneuver

(1) Correct pitch as airspeed increases

c. Exit

(1) At lead point of 5 kts, reduce power to cruise

setting

(2) Establish a new pitch reference for level flight

and trim

12. Level flight: stabilize airspeed at 250 KIAS

C. Scan: the slow flight maneuver is designed to use all of the

individual maneuver scans that you have learned to this

point.

The key to a good slow flight maneuver scan is recognizing

that this maneuver is only a sequence of basic flight

maneuvers and therefore basic flight maneuver scans.
