Commercial pilot video tip: How to fly a Chandelle

1 min read

The Chandelle is one of several maneuvers you’ll learn to fly during your training towards the Commercial Pilot certificate. It is a maximum performance, 180° climbing turn that begins from approximately straight-and-level flight and concludes with the airplane in a wings-level, nose-high attitude just above stall speed.

This clip appears in Sporty’s Commercial Pilot Test Prep Course, which includes comprehensive knowledge test prep, flight maneuvers guide, oral exam tools and a comprehensive aviation library.
