Completion Standards

The lesson will have been successfully completed when the pilot demonstrates an increase in proficiency in each maneuver while operating a complex airplane. While maneuvering during slow flight, the pilot will be able to maintain the desired airspeed, +5/–0 kt.; specified altitude, ±100 ft.; heading, ±10°; specified bank angle, ±10°, during turning flight; and roll out on the specified heading, ±10°.
