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


You were conducting aerobatic flight. Breaking the law is one thing
but are you certified for aerobatics? What about your aircraft? This
could get you killed. Let me remind you that aerobatics are maneuvers
outside those required for "normal" flight FAR 91.303. To get down
quickly you should slip, or use full flaps, The risk of overspeed is
very high, you have to increase drag to dump energy...
Cheers
