Welcome to Flight Training Central’s Flight Maneuver Spotlight series. Here we highlight the various maneuvers you’ll practice during your flight training and be expected to demonstrate during your checkride.
The Chandelle is a Commercial pilot maneuver in which the pilot combines a 180° turn with a climb. This segment is from Sporty’s 2024 Commercial Pilot Training Course and includes a narrated video animation, along with step-by-step instructions that include performance standards and common errors.

This segment 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.
