Here are some more information for Pilot Flight Maneuvers:
If you happen to be a private pilot who is looking to add an Instrument Rating to your certificate, then you may already be aware of the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allows you to apply up to a maximum of 20 instructor-led hours of time in training in an instrument flight simulator to be applied as credit toward your instrument rating.
Of course you can spend more than 20 hours training on a simulator, but only the first 20 hours will apply, and all of those 20 must be spent with an instructor and not solo, using an FAA approved flight simulation program. (You are of course free to spend as much time as you want on a home-based simulator for the PC to maximize the amount of time you get to practice and perfect your techniques.)
There are many reasons why the FAA allows you to use a flight simulator to log instrument training time in lieu of time spent in an actual aircraft.
Among those reasons is because instrument flight simulator software is able to replicate the behavior and performance of an actual aircraft down to the minutest detail. Thus, training for instrument flight in a simulator is virtually the same experience as training for instrument flight in an actual airplane under the hood.
The only difference between the two experiences of simulated versus actual flight (with respect to instrument training) is that you will not be able to experience the sensations of movement that could otherwise deceive you, causing spatial disorientation, during certain maneuvers in flight such as climbs, turns, and descents (which you are taught to ignore anyway, since you must trust the instruments and not what your five senses are telling you).
Among other reasons is the cost. Using an instrument flight simulator is no doubt a lot cheaper than renting an aircraft.

The Relationship Between Amateur Pilots and Stalled Airplanes
Amateur pilots deliberately stalling an aircraft? Yes, it's a common occurrence and an essential aspect of every pilot's training. Private pilots and professional pilots are all familiar with the stall. A deliberate stall can be mild or it can be fairly dramatic depending on the student pilot who is just learning stall recovery. People with limited knowledge of aircraft or possibly no familiarity with aviation at all, sometimes misinterpret the term stalled airplane to mean that the engine has stalled. A stall in relation to aviation and aircraft is defined as a reduction in the lifting force generated by an airfoil or wing. This happens as the angle of attack increases beyond what is called the critical angle of attack. The angle of attack is the coefficient of the airfoil or wing in relation to relative wind. The critical angle of attack may vary significantly depending on the design of the airfoil or wing. This is the point where the relative wind becomes disrupted to a point where the airfoil or wing ceases to provide the lift it was designed to produce. Without lift being generated by the airfoil or wing, the force of gravity overcomes the aircraft causing it to descend towards earth. The exact definition of the word stall in relation to aviation is continually debated by pilots and engineers, but simply put, a stalled aircraft loses its ability to fly.
Amateur pilots in training are taught to purposely stall the aircraft in multiple configurations or scenarios, and then initiate a recovery. Stall recovery is mandatory for every pilot's survival regardless of the airplane being flown. Two different scenarios where real life stalls most often happen are on final approach during a landing and on the climbout following a takeoff. The maneuver meant to simulate a stall on final approach while landing is called a power off stall. Typically low airspeeds during the landing sequence can increase the risk of a stall near ground level and in the final moments before landing. The power off stall is designed to teach the student to recover the aircraft before it noses into the ground causing serious injury or death. It is critical to every pilot to understand and practice recovery. The power on stall is a simulation of an aircraft taking off and possibly climbing with too much pitch. This maneuver is practiced using full throttle just as the pilot would use on takeoff. Recovery from this situation is also critical to every amateur pilot's continued existence. Another reason for airplane stalls could be wind based. Wind shear, a sudden change in wind direction or wind speed, could wreak havoc on an airplane at any time during flight however it is more common near the ground where landings and takeoffs obviously take place. Incidents such as an accidental stall near ground level could be disasterous if not handled properly.
Amateur pilots are tested on their stall recovery skills during their checkride. The checkride is the final test required to earn a private pilot certificate. It consists of an oral test combined with a practical, or performance test. Knowledge and understanding of stalls and stall avoidance are always part of the oral exam. The ability to demonstrate successful stall recovery to the examiner while flying the airplane is also required to receive a private pilot certificate. Amateur pilots are always encouraged to practice stall recovery long past the test day. In the unlikely event of an actual stall while in flight, readiness and the ability to recover can be the difference between life and death of pilot and passengers.

A high-performance jet plane, practicing radar avoidance maneuvers, is in horizontal flight of h = 55 m above?
the level ground. Suddenly, the plane encounters terrain that slopes gently upward at 4.3°, an amount difficult to detect. How much time does the pilot have to make a correction to avoid flying into the ground? The speed of the plane is 1200 km/h.
tan(4.3)=h/d
where h is the rise in the terrain and d is the horizontal distance
d=v*t
where v is the speed of the plane and t is the time before impact with the ground
tan(4.3)=55/(1200*t/3.6)
solve for t
t=55*3.6/(1200*tan(4.3))
t=2.19 seconds

July 10, 2010: Singapore is buying 48 Italian M-346 advanced jet trainers. The Italians were competing with the South Korea T-50, which also lost out to the M-346 last year when the UAE (United Arab Emirates) also bought 48 M-346s.
