Slow Flight
Dudley Henriques wrote:
Learning to fly an airplane is a process that begins the first day you climb into an airplane and ends as you take the last breath of your life. If you have been taught properly by a good CFI, there is a very good chance that this last moment and breath you take as the learning stops won't be in an airplane. You couldn't be more right. I was fortunate to have several instructors who imparted that the PPL and additional ratings simply meant you met the minimum standards on the check ride day. At that point, it's time to continually learn and improve as experience is gained. |

"Ol" == Ol Shy & Bashful writes: Ol There is little doubt in my mind that the ability to do slow Ol flight at the very edge of stall speed will do more to prevent Ol accidents than 1000 hours of cruise speed flight. . . . Ol What are your thoughts? Correct! We fly gliders/sailplanes 2 knots above stall in a 60 degree bank for HOURS...while circling in lift. How many glider accidents are there (stall/spin) vs how many airplane accidents are there (stall/spin)? TRAINING! With TRAINING, it is safe to do the same in a C152! You MIGHT even go soaring!!! (Note: soaring is when you are going up and gliding is when you are going down). :-) Best regards, Jer/ "Flight instruction and mountain flying are my vocations!" -- Jer/ (Slash) Eberhard, Mountain Flying Aviation, LTD, Ft Collins, CO CELL 970 231-6325 EMAIL jer'at'frii.com http://users.frii.com/jer/ C-206, CFII Airplane&Glider, FAA-DEN Aviation Safety Counselor CAP-CO Mission&Aircraft CheckPilot BM218 HAM N0FZD 263 Young Eagles! |

Yeah. The old saying, "Attitude is Everything" applies here. Actually, it would be more correct to say "Attitude is Nothing" when discussing stalls. Hilton |

This is a video recreation by a very creative person of one of the demonstrations I used to fly on the air show circuit in the P51 Mustang. This fellow actually wrote to me and asked for the exact maneuver sequence and even the location airport over which the display was flown is accurate. He did an absolutely marvelous job of it. When I watch this myself, I'm sorry I didn't use music in the actual demonstration :-)) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4LODPguzTc |
