Emergency Descents with ATC COMS - Video

Had never done an emergency descent with banking as a tool. *It was
suggested to me to try this with a 90 degree bank.

Very interesting experience as it really works and works quickly! *I
tried 2 without banking and 2 with banking of which the video contains
one of each.

Video contains both outside and instrumentation views but the
instrumentation view unfortunately wasn't as good as I hoped. *Camera
power saving feature shut the camera off and I lost my zoom setting.

Comments here or on the video most appreciated on helping me improve
the technique as this was my first time doing this

A forward slip will bring you down pretty quickly with our the bank forces.

Absolutely agree. It appears that I did leave one very important
detail in my original post that warrants clearing up. I was
practicing this for traffic avoidance (head on) thus me at cruise and
sharp bank to the right.

My days may be waning too..... By word of mouth, not listed anywhere,
putting my plane on the market. I can't justify the cost of
maintenance to my 100 hours a year flying, it's been that bad a year
in the maintenance department (airframe repairs - I.E. corrosion are
EXPENSIVE)
