his lack of flight
experience is causing him to describe it as a "crosswind". With a PPL? How did he pass his oral? |

Reconsidering this line: "I recently got a ppl licence and generally are fine doing all the flying type tasks required to safely take off fly and land." That's it? Must have been a pretty short checkride.... Dan Not trolling I promise Checkride NST plus General handling test took about 2 1/2 hours CAA PPL maybe the wording gave the wrong idea but i was trying to say that there were no problems with general handling of the aircraft. No way my examiner would have passed me if there were. The disorieantation was from straight and level flight with no control inputs from myself the aircraft would sometimes start to yaw usually no more that about 15 degrees similar to crabbing in on final with crosswind . this was the only way i could think of describing it. Well, I don't know about this yaw business. Are you trying to say that in order to head for a particular landmark the aircraft had to pointed slightly to one side of that landmark, and that the plane was oriented at an angle to your ground track? We've all seen that. If it's disorienting I agree you should see your flight surgeon about it. It seems the doc might suspend your medical, however that might work. |

The other factor is that my home airport is on the very near the coast I notice this more as when flying along the coast it seems to be when the above happens and the picture seen from the front is vey noticable as i either yaw towards the sea or inland. I figured that the rudder trim would be okay as when the above did not happen the aircraft would follow the heading okay and stabalator trim set i could fly hands free (PA28) for a short time. He's probably telling the truth. Some of you may have noticed me mentioning certain deficiencies in the way Brits teach flying? I heard this same spiel from an Ex RAF Herc squadron commander many years ago. Bertie |

Oh. Thanks. Sounds like a good trick to use on a student when you are teaching unusual attitude recovery. My instructor did this for me when I was doing my hood work for my private pilot certificate. It was quite illuminating, to say the least. Chris |
