\pard\plain\f4\fs18\b If you're trying to maintain a constant airspeed during an approach to landing descent, you'll normally control your airspeed and descent rate by using both pitch and power.
\par
\par For example, if you're flying at the approach airspeed, and you need to increase your descent rate, you can reduce the power and make a small pitch adjustment to maintain airspeed. In a stabilized descent, where the descent rate and airspeed are held fairly constant, changing the power means changing the pitch, and vice versa.
\par
\par Don't forget to stay on your heading by using references outside the airplane, like the wingtips and the horizon. You should cross-check your outside visual references with the attitude indicator and heading indicator. If the wings are level, your heading indicator shouldn't show a change. And make sure the ball in your turn coordinator is centered, too.\plain\f3\fs17\b

Approach Airspeed
Arial
When you clear the area for traffic before you start descending, make sure to check below you. To start
the descent, you need to slow to the approach
airspeed. To do this, first apply carburetor heat and reduce the power.
Then, slowly increase your pitch attitude to reduce the airspeed, while holding your altitude. When you've slowed to the speed you want, stop adding back pressure and let the airplane descend.

\pard\plain\f4\fs18\b Because of the airplane's inertia, you can't wait until you've reached the altitude you want before stopping the descent. If you do, you'll dive below it. So you need to start slowing the descent rate before you get to your altitude in order to level off at the right place.
\par
\par This usually means leading the altitude you want to level off at by at least 10% of your descent rate. For instance, if you're descending at 500 feet per minute, you'll need to begin your leveloff at least 50 feet above your desired altitude. So if you want to level off at 6,000 feet, you should begin your leveloff at 6,050 feet.
\par
\par With that in mind, start leveling off at your lead point by adding power and adjusting your pitch until you've stopped the descent. When you do it right, your descent should stop when you reach your desired altitude.\plain\f3\fs17\b

\par
\par For example, if you're flying at the airspeed you want, but you're not losing enough altitude, reduce the power and make a small pitch adjustment to maintain airspeed. In a stabilized descent where the descent rate and airspeed are held fairly constant, changing the power means changing the pitch, and vice versa.
\par
\par Don't forget to stay on your heading by using references outside the airplane, like the wingtips and the horizon. You should cross-check your outside visual references with the attitude indicator and heading indicator. If the wings are level, your heading indicator shouldn't show a change.

\pard\plain\f4\fs18\b Sometimes during a normal landing you'll use a power-off descent, or glide. And, it's possible you'll have to perform this maneuver in an emergency. That's why it's important to check the POH for the right airspeed, which is usually best glide speed. The best glide speed gives you the maximum gliding distance.
\par
\par Usually, a power-off glide is done at a slower airspeed than a power-on descent. This means you'll have to slow down before descending if you're at cruise airspeed.
\par
\par First, apply carb heat and reduce the power to idle. Then, start applying back pressure to hold altitude and let the airplane slow down. When you've reached the glide speed you want, let the nose down a little to descend.\plain\f3\fs17\b

\par If you are faster than best glide speed, you can slow down and decrease your rate of descent by raising the nose. Be careful not to add too much back pressure or your airspeed will drop below best glide speed and your descent rate will increase. If you lower the nose and increase your airspeed beyond best glide, your descent rate will also increase. Once you've established the pitch attitude that will hold your airspeed, trim off any excess control pressures.

\pard\plain\f4\fs18\b The leveloff from a power-off glide is similar to the leveloff for a power-on descent. You should lead your target altitude by at least 10% of your descent rate.
\par
\par In other words, if your descent rate is 700 feet per minute, you should start leveling off at least 70 feet above the altitude you want. You'll do this by adding power and adjusting your pitch until you've stopped the descent.
\par
\par You may have to add a lot of power to level off and increase your airspeed during the recovery. As a result, you'll need more right rudder control to balance the yawing movement when you increase power. When you do it right, your descent should stop when you reach your target altitude.\plain\f3\fs17\b
