For the FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) Airplane Single Engine (ASE) checkride, the demonstration stalls are specific maneuvers that you, as a CFI candidate, must perform and explain to demonstrate your instructional knowledge and ability. There are indeed four demonstration stalls youll need to master for the CFI checkride.

Initiating the Turn: Smoothly apply aileron input to roll into a 45-50 degree bank angle. Coordination Difficulties: Keeping the turn coordinated with proper rudder and aileron use can be tricky at first. As you learn to coordinate ailerons, rudder, and elevator effectively, your overall control and confidence improve.

Additionally, both private and commercial pilot checkrides require the demonstration of slow flight. Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft. For a greater margin of safety, select an altitude that leaves you 1,500 feet AGL after recovery from a stall.

Lazy eights sound like the least challenging commercial checkride maneuver to learn. We correct for the overbanking tendency with aileron opposite the turn. The aileron on the right wing deflects down, increasing the camber and creating more lift. The left wing’s aileron deflects up, decreasing lift.

In maintaining a properly coordinated steep turn, the pilot must use the opposite aileron to maintain bank. You may need to apply the opposite aileron to counter the overbanking tendency. Adverse Yaw Adverse yaw is when an aircraft tends to yaw towards a raised wing due to the aerodynamic forces of an aileron deflected down.

They are also one of the most feared maneuvers during the private pilot checkride. x V SO (or POH recommendation) by around 500 feet AGL. Establish the target approach speed by around 500 feet AGL. If conducting a checkride, you might blow past the stopping point, which could result in a failure.
