•	Continue to develop their situational awareness and division of attention skills.
Elements:
•	Steep turns
•	G-Forces
•	Overbanking tendency
•	Situational awareness
Schedule:
•	Pre-lesson briefing					00:10
•	Pre-Flight and flight to practice area			00:15
•	Steep Turns						00:15
•	Review ground reference maneuvers			00:15
•	Flight back to airport					00:10

Total:	01:30
Equipment:
•	Chalkboard
•	Sick-sacks
Instructor Actions:
1.	Pre-lesson briefing
•	Present lesson objective.
•	Describe what will take place during the lesson.
•	Review vertical and horizontal components of lift; explain need for increased power and elevator back pressure to compensate for loss of vertical lift.
•	Explain over-banking tendency.
•	Explain proper procedure to correct for loss of altitude (reduce bank, apply back pressure).
•	Explain how to lead rollout.
•	Explain the effect of steep banks on load factor and the importance of VA.
•	Explain effect of increased load factor on stall speed.
2.	Pre-flight and flight to practice area
•	Use the opportunity to reinforce the student’s general flying skills. Review any operational areas which the student might be having difficulty with.
•	Review the procedures for steep turns prior to the student starting the maneuver.
3.	Demonstrate and have student practice steep power turns to right and left
4.	Have student perform rectangular courses, S turns or turns around a point.
5.	Return flight
•	Observe student’s use of techniques already learned during flight.
•	Answer student’s questions about the lesson.
6.	Post-flight
7.	Post Lesson Debriefing
•	Review what was learned and critique students performance of maneuvers with constructive suggestions to improve technique.
•	Ask student questions to evaluate understanding of what was learned.
•	Answer student questions
•	Explain what will be covered in the next lesson and assign reading material.
Student Actions:
1.	Pre-lesson briefing
•	Ask questions concerning previous lessons and/or this one.
2.	Pre-flight and flight to practice area
•	Perform pre-flight and pre-takeoff procedures using appropriate checklists
•	Takeoff and fly to practice area on headings (+/- 150) and at altitudes (+/- 200 ft.) specified by the instructor.
3.	Perform steep power turns to the left and to the right.
•	Perform clearing turns prior to starting the maneuver.
•	Establish airspeed at VA or as recommended by the POH.
•	Maintain altitude +/- 100 ft., airspeed +/- 10 Knots; bank 450 +/- 50; roll out on entry heading +/- 100.
•	Perform the maneuver to the left and to the right.
4.	Perform rectangular patterns, S turns and/or turns around a point as requested by instructor.
5.	Return flight from practice area
•	Navigate from practice area back to airport.
6.	Post-flight procedures
•	Perform post-flight procedures using appropriate checklists.
7.	Post-flight debriefing.
•	Ask questions about the lesson.
Completion Standards:
This lesson will be completed when the student is able to perform steep turns in both directions within the tolerances specified in the Student Actions section.
Common Errors:
•	Coordination
•	Staring at instruments
•	Altitude control
•	Improper procedure for recovering from loss of altitude.
•	Gaining altitude when rolling from one direction to the other.
