CHAPTER TITLE: Basic Flight Maneuvers
Below is a list of the figures (diagrams, charts, and pictures) from the AFH Chapter 3. They are listed in the order they are found in the Airplane Flying Handbook.
AUDIO RECORDING
FIGURE 3-1
Basic flight controls and instrument panel.
FIGURE 3-2
The pilot is always considered the referenced center of effect as the flight controls are used.
FIGURE 3-3
(A) Pitch attitude is the angle formed between the airplane’s longitudinal axis. (B) Bank attitude is the angle formed by the airplane’s lateral axis.
FIGURE 3-4
Airplane attitude is based on relative positions of the nose and wings on the natural horizon.
FIGURE 3-5
Integrated flight instruction teaches pilots to use both external and cockpit attitude references.
FIGURE 3-6
Nose reference for straight-and-level flight.
FIGURE 3-7
Wingtip reference for straight-and-level flight.
FIGURE 3-8
Nose reference for level flight.
FIGURE 3-9
Elevator trim is used in airplanes to null the pressure exerted by the pilot on the pitch flight control.
FIGURE 3-10
Level turn to the left.
FIGURE 3-11
When the airplane is banked into a turn, total lift is the resultant of two components: vertical and horizontal.
FIGURE 3-12
The rudder opposes adverse yaw to help coordinate the turn.
FIGURE 3-13
Indications of a slip and skid.
FIGURE 3-14
Angle of bank and airspeed regulate rate and radius of turn.
FIGURE 3-15
Overbanking tendency.
FIGURE 3-16
Visual reference for angle of bank.
FIGURE 3-17
Correct and incorrect posture while seated in the airplane.

FIGURE 3-24
Best glide speed provides the greatest forward distance for a given loss of altitude.
