Limitations - P-340

CHAPTER THREE

T-34C INSTRUMENTS

Limitations. For purposes of Basic Instrument training in the T34C, the unusual

attitudes will be entered from normal cruise. The instructor will perform the Stall Checklist and

clearing turns prior to initiating any unusual attitude maneuver. The instructor shall observe the

following limitations while performing unusual attitudes in full panel:

Not to exceed 50 nose high.

Not to exceed 40 nose low.

Not to exceed 90 of bank.

NOTE

On all unusual attitudes, the aircraft will be trimmed for straight and

level flight with power set at 650700 ftlbs. of torque.

Nose Low Attitude

The aircraft is in a nose low unusual attitude any time the nose is below the horizon,

regardless of airspeed. (Figure 311.)

Immediately check gyro for nose and wing position.

ii.

Glance at airspeed, then the turn needle. If airspeed is fast (approaching 200

knots), reduce power to idle. Steps i and ii are accomplished almost

simultaneously.

iii.

Maintain nose attitude as you level the wings on the attitude gyro and center

the ball.

iv.

After the wings are level, raise the nose to the level flight attitude. (NOTE:

Level flight attitude is dependent upon airspeed.)

Return power to normal cruise power when gyro is indicating the level flight,

and 2 to 3 knots prior to 150 knots.

vi.

Common Errors

(a)

Allowing nose to rise while rolling wings level, thus effecting a "rolling

pullout."

(b)

Not recognizing need for power reduction, not returning power to

normal cruise setting upon recovery.
