7.16.1. Objective. Gain confidence in the use of the attitude indicator in extreme pitch and bank attitudes.

p. 132

7.16.2. Description. Wingover (similar to one-half lazy eight) and aileron roll flown with EADI as the primary reference. Each maneuver is complete when stabilized in level flight.

7.16.3. Procedure. Accomplish a CLEF check if appropriate. Begin in straight-and-level flight, with briefed entry airspeed and power setting.

7.16.3.1. Aileron Roll. Begin in straight-and-level flight, at entry airspeed and power setting. Maintain wings level and raise the nose 15 to 25 degrees on the EADI. Use aileron and rudder to perform a coordinated roll. Start with a moderate roll rate. Unlike the contact aileron roll, a constant roll rate is not the goal. Adjust the roll rate to pass through the horizon in a wings-level, inverted attitude. When inverted, do not unload to hit the horizon. Continue rolling to wings-level upright, as the nose continues to drop to approximately 15 to 25 degrees nose low at about 220 KIAS. Smoothly return to level flight.

7.16.3.2. Wingover. Begin in straight-and-level flight, at entry airspeed and power setting. The wingover is a slow and precise maneuver with a constant roll rate. Increase back pressure and start to roll keeping the low wingtip of the EADI fixed aircraft symbol remains on the horizon bar until 60 degrees of bank. Back pressure increases as bank increases to 60 degrees. Pitch is approximately 10 degrees nose high at 30 degrees bank. At 60 degrees of bank, pitch is approximately 20 degrees nose high. As the nose falls, continue to roll Passing 60-degrees bank, continue to roll but decrease pitch to reach zero pitch at 90-degrees bank. Reaching 90-degrees bank, slowly reverse roll while allowing pitch to continue to decrease. Adjust pitch and bank to catch the opposite wingtip on the horizon at 60-degrees bank. Continue to roll and pull, keeping the wingtip on the horizon until wings level.
