Help me clear up my brain fart
"Never cross control!!!"
"Keep that ball centered!" "Never use more than 20 degrees bank!" "Too high on final - go around. Never slip unless its an emergency landing." These are things that were hammered in my head by my numerous CFIs during pattern training as a student pilot. Now that I have my PPL, you would think I should have this understood. Unfortunately, now this is really twisted up in my head. Was all that preaching JUST to reduce the chance of invoking a deadly spin in case the wings are accidentally stalled? It seems to all contradict everything about slips on final and the famous "low-wing-into-the-wind" crosswind landings? In my mind, as long as I keep my airspeed sufficiently high and keep the nose pointed down, (ie. keep my AOA under control) things like a steeper banks and routine slip to landings should be relatively safe. Right? Thanks, Ekim |
