• Altitude gain will be dependent on weather conditions and so maximum gain for that day should be the goal
• Purpose is to demonstrate a maximum performance climbing turn
• Since airspeed is constantly decreasing, torque effects will become more prominent
• Rolling out of a left chandelle, adverse yaw will work in conjunction with torque to produce a strong left yawing force
  • Rolling out of a right chandelle, these two forces will tend to cancel each other out

During Flight:

• Airspace should be clear above and behind aircraft
• Flaps and gear up
• Power set to cruise
• Airspeed set to manufacturer’s recommendation or not above VA
• Smoothly increase bank angle to appropriate angle for maneuver
• After bank angle is reached, smoothly increase power to max allowable and increase pitch to attain highest pitch attitude as 90° of turn is completed
• Begin bank rollout at 90° point at a constant rate while maintaining constant pitch attitude
• At 180° point, bank should be 0° and aircraft should be at minimum controllable airspeed, pitch should be held momentarily at this speed and then smoothly released so that no altitude is lost
