settings appropriate to specific bank attitudes are learned, and  adjustments can be made without undue attention to airspeed  and power instruments. During training in steep turns, as in  any other maneuver, attend to the most important tasks first.  Keep the pitch attitude relatively constant, and more time  can be devoted to cross-check and instrument interpretation.  During recovery from steep turns to straight-and-level  flight, elevator and power control must be coordinated with  bank control in proportion to the changes in aerodynamic  forces. Back elevator pressures must be released and power  decreased. The common errors associated with steep turns are  the same as those discussed later in this section. Remember,  errors are more exaggerated, more difficult to correct, and  more difficult to analyze unless rates of entry and recovery  are consistent with the level of proficiency in the three basic  instrument flying skills.  To execute climbing and descending turns, combine the  technique used in straight climbs and descents with the various  turn techniques. The aerodynamic factors affecting lift and  power control must be considered in determining power  settings, and the rate of cross-check and interpretation must be  increased to enable control of bank as well as pitch changes.  Changing airspeed during turns is an effective maneuver for  increasing proficiency in all three basic instrument skills.  Since the maneuver involves simultaneous changes in all  components of control, proper execution requires rapid  Two methods of changing airspeed in turns may be used. In the  first method, airspeed is changed after the turn is established.  [Figure 7-38]  In the second method, the airspeed change is  initiated simultaneously with the turn entry. The first method  is easier, but regardless of the method used, the rate of cross- check must be increased as power is reduced. As the airplane  decelerates, check the altimeter and VSI for necessary pitch  changes and the bank instruments for required bank changes.  The altimeter and turn coordinator indications should remain  constant throughout the turn. The altimeter is primary for  pitch control and the miniature aircraft of the turn coordinator  is primary for bank control. The manifold pressure gauge (or  tachometer) is primary for power control while the airspeed  is changing. As the airspeed approaches the new indication,  the ASI becomes primary for power control.  The angle of bank necessary for a given rate of turn is  proportional to the true airspeed. Since the turns are executed  at a standard rate, the angle of bank must be varied in direct  proportion to the airspeed change in order to maintain a  constant rate of turn. During a reduction of airspeed, decrease  the angle of bank and increase the pitch attitude to maintain  altitude and a standard rate turn.  cross-check and interpretation as well as smooth control.  Proficiency in the maneuver also contributes to confidence in  the instruments during attitude and power changes involved  in more complex maneuvers. Pitch and power control  techniques are the same as those used during changes in  airspeed in straight-and-level flight.  Change of Airspeed During Turns Climbing and Descending Turns Figure 7-38.
