Pilot 3 Aileron Rolls

Three aileron rolls together -no stopping -in one direction-somewhat level flight. This is a hard maneuver to make look right. You cannot use the nose pointing up technique to compensate for the altitude loss. So you must be able to use the elevator to keep the nose up when inverted. Since the nose will also tend to drop when in knife-edge, you may have to use the rudder. Practice, practice, practice. The examiner will watch for no hesitation between rolls. For them all to be reasonably axial and for the pilot to maintain complete control throughout.
