Continue the maneuver through the number of symmetrical loops specified, then resume straight-andlevel flight.
Bottom line
During the maneuver, the longitudinal axis of the airplane traces a symmetrical eight on its side with segments above and below the horizon. It takes both 180-degree turns to form both loops of the eight. The pilot should not hesitate at the 90-degree point but should continue to maneuver the airplane into a descending turn.
