Youll want to perform any ground reference maneuver between 600 and 1000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). Use coordinated aileron and rudder pressures to swiftly, but not excessively, angle into this turn. Uncoordinated use of aileron and rudder, leading to slips or skids. Choose an altitude and airspeed, and stick with it.

Adjust pitch and power for the desired airspeed and approach angle.The approach should be stabilized on the extended runway centerline no lower than 300’ AGL. At this time, it should be gently lowered.Maintain directional control and crosswind correction with appropriate rudder aileron input.

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. So, if you’re inexperienced or out of practice, consider starting at 3,000 feet AGL.

x V SO (or POH recommendation) by around 500 feet AGL. This gives you a safe buffer on the stall speed and plenty of time to stabilize. Establish the target approach speed by around 500 feet AGL. Use the rudder to keep the aircraft in line with the runway and apply aileron into the wind.

The turbulent air hits the horizontal stabilizer, which causes a vibration that can be felt throughout the aircraft. The lack of airflow over the ailerons results in a loss of control authority and mushy and ineffective controls. As the aircraft stabilizes at level attitude, reduce flaps to 10 degrees.

Inconvenienced but unstoppable, the airplanes right wing and aileron were substantially damaged, though the damage did not prohibit the airplane from being able to fly, despite the airplane feeling out of trim and a little heavier on one side. The pilot believed he could straighten the flight path and touch down in time to stop.
