Chandelles

Before entering the maneuver, configure the airplane in straight-and-level flight with the landing gear and flaps up, using the entry airspeed recommended in the pilot's operating handbook or maneuvering speed (VA), whichever is slower.
Establish a coordinated turn not to exceed 30� of bank. Then, simultaneously apply back elevator pressure to begin a climb and smoothly apply full power. If your airplane has a constant speed propeller, increase the RPM to the climb or takeoff setting, then advance the throttle to the climb setting.
Begin a gradual reduction of bank angle, while maintaining a constant pitch attitude.
Reduce the pitch attitude to resume a level flight attitude, allowing your airplane to accelerate while maintaining a constant altitude.

PTS Standards

Exhibit knowledge of the elements related to performance factors associated with chandelles.
Select an altitude that will allow the maneuver to be performed no lower than 1,500 feet AGL or the manufacturer's recommended altitude, whichever is higher.
Establish the entry configuration at an airspeed no greater than the maximum entry speed recommended by the manufacturer, not to exceed VA.
Establish appropriate bank angle, not to exceed 30�.
Simultaneously apply specified power and pitch to maintain a smooth, coordinated climbing turn with constant bank to the 90� point.
Begin a coordinated constant rate of rollout from the 90� point to the 180� point, maintaining specified power and a constant pitch attitude that will result in a rollout within +/-10� of the desired heading and airspeed within +5 knots of power-on stall speed.
Reduce pitch attitude to resume straight-and-level flight at the final altitude attained, +/-50 feet.
