VIII. AREA OF OPERATION: FUNDAMENTALS OF FLIGHT
NOTE: The examiner must select at least one TASK.

REFERENCES: FAA-H-8083-3, FAA-H-8083-23; FAA-S-8081-14.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits instructional knowledge of the elements of straight-and-level flight by describing-
   a. effect and use of flight controls.
   b. the Integrated Flight Instruction method.
   c. outside and instrument references used for pitch, bank, yaw, and power control; the cross-check and interpretation of those references; and the control procedure used.
   d. trim procedure.
   e. methods that can be used to overcome tenseness and overcontrolling.
2. Exhibits instructional knowledge of common errors related to straight-and-level flight by describing-
   a. failure to cross-check and correctly interpret outside and instrument references.
   b. application of control movements rather than pressures.
   c. uncoordinated use of flight controls.
   d. faulty trim procedure.
3. Demonstrates and simultaneously explains straight-and-level flight from an instructional standpoint.
4. Analyzes and corrects simulated common errors related to straight-and-level flight.
