Steep Descending Turns
STEEP DESCENDING TURNS
Aim: To understand the principles involved in descending an aircraft at a 45 AoB, maintaining balance and airspeed. Application: - Height loss manoeuvre within a confined space - Control coordination exercise Revision: Forces in a Steep Turn

Forces in a Glide Descent:
L D
W
Principles: The vertical component of lift is reduced in both the descent and turn. The combination of both manoeuvres produces a highly tilted lift vector. Therefore, at the glide speed a high rate of turn and RoD will be achieved. Back pressure will be required to maintain speed.
