At what point should you confirm both the roll angle and power setting?

Confirming both the roll angle and power setting during break procedures is crucial for maintaining aircraft control and ensuring safe operations. This phase is often characterized by a decrease in airspeed as the aircraft prepares to enter a landing configuration, making it essential to verify these settings to stabilize the aircraft for landing or during maneuvering on the ground.

By checking the roll angle, pilots can ensure the aircraft is properly aligned and its wings are level, which is vital for stability as they manage power settings for descent and landing. Power settings also need to be confirmed to maintain the desired approach speed and achieve a proper glide path for landing.

Other phases of flight, like a crosswind turn or preparing for landing, also require awareness of roll and power. However, break procedures present a more immediate need as the aircraft transitions from a higher altitude and speed to preparing for landing, where the accurate configuration of these parameters directly impacts safety and successful landings.
