Steep Turns ( 45 to 60 degrees of bank) are a pretty difficult performance maneuver that student pilots need to master to pass their check rides (also known as practical tests). I struggled for weeks until my school's chief flight instructor told me this one thing that immediately improved my steep turns.

Learn the one trick for easier steep turns and some other observations about getting through this maneuver on my check ride.

You will get better at steep turns. Getting this maneuver done on a checkride is easier than you might think. Part of it is just how you look at the whole maneuver. The Airman Certification Standards are your friend when it comes to this maneuver. See how to use the ACS standards to your advantage! Find out what your DPE (Designated Pilot Examiner) really expects to see.

This is Episode 3 of Pilot After 50, where I discuss the trials and tribulations of achieving a life-long goal of becoming a private pilot. Is being Being over fifty a factor?
