Are you anxious during slow flight and stalls because you are apprehensive about spins? Do not fear the spin; understand it. Spins are just another thing airplanes do, and you should train for spin recovery.
Proper spin training begins with an introduction to stall and unusual attitude recovery. You need to understand that a heavy hand or misuse of the controls, during an unusual attitude, can stall the wing and begin a spin event.
The legendary Bob Hoover said "just fly the thing". This video will help you learn to do that with a discussion of:
- Stall recovery. Just stop pulling back!
- Top rudder to recover from a nose low unusual attitude.
- Zero G maneuver to recover from a nose high unusual attitude.
- Top rudder and unload to recover from a spin.
The information presented in this video has been the subject of seminars presented by Jim at Sun-n-Fun Forums and FAA Safety Team programs. Many of the visual aides are taken directly from Jimï¾’s syllabus for teaching Emergency Maneuvers and from his most popular course of instruction, Spin and Upset Recovery. This DVD is not a substitute for actually learning stall, upset and spin recovery in an airplane; however, photos and action video from the pilot's perspective in the cockpit are the next best thing.
The maneuvers in the video are relevant:
- they are scenario based
- they are demonstrated in a Decathlon -- it is like flying a Cessna or Piper type aircraft
- they are discussed from the perspective of the a general aviation pilot's experience
