This chapter describes the flight training maneuvers and related factors
that are useful in developing a high degree of pilot skill. Although most
of these maneuvers are not performed as such in normal everyday flying,
the elements and principles involved in each are applicable to performance
of the customary pilot operations. They aid the pilot in analyzing the
effect of wind and other forces acting on the airplane and in developing
a fine control touch, coordination, and division of attention for accurate
and safe maneuvering of the airplane. Some of the maneuvers, particularly
those requiring the maximum performance of the airplane, have a distinct
operational use. Therefore, the pilot should acquire a thorough understanding
of the factors involved and the techniques recommended.
