Accomplish coordinated straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents with the aircraft configured as specified by the evaluator without a stall warning (e.g., aircraft buffet, stall horn, etc.).
Bottom line
It is essential that pilots smoothly manage coordinated flight control inputs while maneuvering without a stall warning. The airplane is in coordinated flight when its nose is yawed directly into the relative wind and the ball is centered in the slip/skid indicator, except for certain multiengine airplane operation with an engine failure. In slow flight there is a degraded response to control inputs and it is more difficult to maintain a selected altitude.
