Final answer:
For steep turns under PPL standards, tolerances include altitude within +/- 100 feet, airspeed within +/- 10 knots, heading within +/- 10 degrees, and bank angle within +/- 10 degrees. CPL standards are more stringent with altitude, airspeed, and heading tolerances the same as PPL, but the bank angle is tighter, at +/- 5 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The limits for steep turns in pilot training are different for Private Pilot License (PPL) and Commercial Pilot License (CPL) exams. In the context of the steep turn maneuver:
- PPL standards typically require that the maneuver is performed with an altitude loss or gain of no more than 100 feet, airspeed not varying by more than 10 knots, heading change no more than 10 degrees on rollout, and a bank angle that does not differ by more than 10 degrees.
- For CPL, the standards are generally more stringent, where the altitude must be maintained within +/- 100 feet, airspeed within +/- 10 knots, heading accuracy within +/- 10 degrees on rollout, and the bank angle tolerance is usually tighter, not to exceed +/- 5 degrees from the specified angle of bank required for the maneuver.
Therefore, the correct answer to the student's question is option c) for CPL: +/-100', +/-10KTS, +/-10HDG, +/-5AOB.
