FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR'S MANUAL 135
The airplane is rolled around its longitudinal axis during the entry and recovery and no vertical deviation of the nose is to be permitted. The bank and the turn must start simultaneously and with the proper amount of turn for the degree of bank from the time entry is started until the bank is complete, after which the proper ratio is maintained until recovery is started. The degree of bank is to be maintained until the desired heading is reached. Here, as was pointed out under the elementary discussion of turns, the rudder's function ceases to be one of coordinating a bank or banking maneuver and is used to hold the ship in straight flight while recovery is effected. This requires much more application than was necessary during the entry or if the airplane to "sneak" out to the bank. 
With the above in mind the maneuver is performed as follows:
1. Fly parallel to the road and far enough to the down-wind side that the road will not be crossed during a 180° turn into the wind. 
2. Decide on the degree of bank to be used in the series and execute perfectly coordinated turn of this bank for 180°, holding a constant bank until exactly parallel to the road.
3. At this point stop the turn, recover from the bank, and fly straight and level for a few seconds. This should be accomplished without any readjustment of the controls after level flight is reached. The recovery must be made parallel to the road without adjustment as well. 
The accomplishment of this requires a high degree of coordination of all controls. No slipping or skidding is to be tolerated. 
4. Execute a perfectly coordinated bank of the same degree in the opposite direction and proceed exactly as before. This will result in making all turns into the wind and the airplane staying in the same position relative to the road. 
The most common faults are: Vertical movement of the nose during entry or recovery; roughness of the controls; attempts to start recovery or sneaking out of the bank before the 180° recovery point is reached; failure to stop the turn exactly and maintain the heading during the recovery; too much rudder during recovery, causing skidding during recovery and requiring adjustment before straight and level flight can be resumed; inability to execute exactly the same degree of bank in right- and left-hand turns; inability to hold a constant degree of bank during the turn. 
When proficiency has been developed and excellent recovery technique habitually demonstrated, the bank should be reversed without the intermediate straight flight by rolling from one bank to exactly the same degree on the other side. This should be accomplished slowly and smoothly. If rapid reversal is permitted, roughness and poor coordination will develop. Only by slow, smooth pressures can the student develop his feel of the controls and analyze his errors of coordination. 
The same steps are used in the execution of this rolling from one bank to the other as in the intermediate stage of straight flight. That is, the turn stopped and the course held while the ship is leveled, and then the turn started in the opposite direction as soon as the bank starts. Although it should both appear and feel to be one smooth maneuver, the steps of control action must be there.
