Commerial Pilot (Airplane) Chandelles Airman Certification Standards:

Commercial Pilot (Airplane) Chandelles Knowledge:

The applicant demonstrates understanding of:
  • CA.V.C.K1:

    Purpose of chandelles.
  • CA.V.C.K2:

    Aerodynamics associated with chandelles, to include:
    • CA.V.C.K2a:
      Coordinated and uncoordinated flight.
    • CA.V.C.K2b:
      Overbanking tendencies.
    • CA.V.C.K2c:
      Maneuvering speed, including the impact of weight changes.
    • CA.V.C.K2d:
      Accelerated stalls.
  • CA.V.C.K3:

    Appropriate airplane configuration for maximum performance climb.
  • CA.V.C.K4:

    Proper pitch control required for continuously decreasing airspeed.

Commercial Pilot (Airplane) Risk Management:

The applicant is able to identify, assess, and mitigate risk associated with:
  • CA.V.C.R1:

    Failure to divide attention between airplane control and orientation.
  • CA.V.C.R2:

    Collision hazards, to include aircraft and terrain.
  • CA.V.C.R3:

    Low altitude maneuvering, including stall or spin.
  • CA.V.C.R4:

    Distractions, task prioritization, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation.
  • CA.V.C.R5:

    Uncoordinated flight.
  • CA.V.C.R6:

    Energy Management.
  • CA.V.C.R7:

    Rate and radius of turn with confined area operations.

Commercial Pilot (Airplane) Skills:

The applicant exhibits the skill to:
  • CA.V.C.S1:

    Clear the area.
  • CA.V.C.S4:

    Select an altitude that will allow the maneuver to be performed no lower than 1,500 feet above ground level (AGL).
  • CA.V.C.S3:

    Establish the appropriate entry configuration, power, and airspeed.
  • CA.V.C.S4:

    Establish the angle of bank at approximately 30°.
  • CA.V.C.S5:

    Simultaneously apply power and pitch to maintain a smooth, coordinated climbing turn, in either direction, to the 90° point, with a constant bank and continuously decreasing airspeed.
  • CA.V.C.S6:

    Begin a coordinated constant rate rollout from the 90° point to the 180° point maintaining power and a constant pitch attitude.
  • CA.V.C.S7:

    Complete rollout at the 180° point, ±10° just above a stall airspeed, and maintaining that airspeed momentarily avoiding a stall.
  • CA.V.C.S8:

    Resume a straight-and-level flight with minimum loss of altitude.
