• Pitch-pitch-bank

During Flight:

• Prominent reference points at 45°, 90°, 135° should be selected
• Airspace behind and above aircraft should be clear before maneuver
• Entered from straight-and-level at normal cruise power and airspeed recommended by manufacturer or at VA
• Roll into a climbing turn adding very small amount of bank at first and so that maximum pitch up is reached at 45°
• At 45° max pitch attitude should be reached and pitch should begin to decrease to be level with the horizon at the 90° point. Bank angle should be increasing at 45°.
• At 90° bank should be max at 30° and airspeed should be minimum at 5-10 kts. above stall
• From 90°, bank should be decreased gradually, and pitch attitude continuing to lower
• At 135°, pitch attitude should be lowest, and student should begin to increase pitch attitude and continue to decrease bank angle so that straight-and-level flight at the entry altitude and airspeed is reached
• Immediately upon reaching the 180° point, the procedure should be repeated in the opposite direction for the second half of the maneuver
