| | maintain level flight at 15,000 ft | Explanation:
Now, say, you want to speed up to 250 knots while maintaining level flight at 15,000 feet. You add throttle. As the airspeed creeps up, you find the trim setting that was appropriate at 200 knots is no longer appropriate; you find the aircraft's nose wants to zoom up. You must add nose down trim to compensate.

The First Maneuver - Level Flight
Now, let's give it a try. Take your simulator off 'pause' or de-activate the autopilot. Maintain level flight on your chosen cardinal heading. Try to keep deviations in altitude to plus or minus 100 feet. Keep your heading within 3 degrees either side of N, S, E, or W. Not easy is it? Think you've got the airplane properly trimmed? Let go of the stick. Does the nose rise or drop? Re-trim until it doesn't. Do this for a couple of minutes. When you think you've got the hang of it, start bringing your airspeed into your scan. Add power if slow, reduce it if fast. You have to remember to RE-set the power once your airspeed is back to the 200 knots you started out with. What level of power is appropriate to maintain this speed? I could give you some metrics - throttle settings in terms of pounds per minute fuel flow that you could use as a starting point. But you know what? I'm not going to. I'll tell you what my instructors always used to tell me - you don't learn to fly by memorizing numbers; you use whatever power level is appropriate. You make a setting, scan the airspeed indicator in a couple of seconds to see what the result was, and RE-set. You'll make a series of corrections that should get smaller and smaller and converge to the proper power level to maintain 200 knots in level flight at 15,000 feet. While you're doing this, you're maintaining your scan. Keep altitude within 100 feet of 15,000, heading within 3 degrees of your chosen cardinal heading, airspeed within plus or minus 5 knots of 200. No, it's NOT easy. But the rest gets even harder. You should be fairly capable of maintaining these parameters before you proceed to the rest of the maneuvers...

However, the visibility at 15,000 feet and above was limited enough that the horizon was obscured. In order toab> maintain level flight, the pilot had to closely monitor the altimeter and rate of climb instruments.
