- Struggling on those stalls to maintain your heading? This weird maneuver will help you improve your directional control skills on those stalls so you have a better understanding of what directional control inputs you need to use during power off and power on stalls.

A long time ago my instructor used this technique to help me get over my fear of stalls. He demonstrated before having me do it. It was a Cessna 150. He never intentionally recovered, but just let the nose drop with the elevator all the way back. As the airspeed increased the nose would rise and then stall again. All the while he kept telling me, “See? The plane WANTS TO FLY.” It really boosted my confidence in being able to recover from a stall and actually, stalling became my favorite part of training because it was so easy to do well.
This is a great point! Thanks for the comment!
What a great video! The Musketeer was the first plane I ever started, taxied, rotated, and flew. 1976 at age 15. Thanks again.
No problem! Thanks for watching! I was genuinely impressed with the musketeer. Great airplane!
This shouldn't be a WEIRD maneuver. It should be a normal maneuver for every pilot. Wolfgang would approve. Next try it without using ailerons. :) Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I would agree! I think it really helps improve directional control during a stall. I will have to try that sometime. I’m curious how I’d do. Lol
This was a good vid. Thank you. I learned more.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
What a great video. Came here to learn about Fallingleaf stalls, was treated with a musketeer review, and an RV flying with untowered radio shenanigans!
Thank you so much! I was hoping that other folks would appreciate that content along with a little training
Great stuff thanks!
You’re welcome!
Good exercise to emphasize the uselessness of ailerons at slow airspeed. We transfer that knowledge and dynamic rudder muscle memory to short final where again aileron will just mess up holding the centerline between our legs. If we hold a distant target with rudder only while slow, we will keep the wing level. Students who use aileron on short final, where we don't want to turn, have difficulty with landing.
Absolutely! I teach my students that the ailerons are not completely worthless, BUT they are not very effective and the rudder is king at slow airspeeds.
Very cool stall maneuver. I'll have to try this out. And thanks for showing us some of the RVs!
Thanks! I appreciate the comment!
Back in 1997 my instructor used this teaching maneuver but with a twist. She would take control of the ailerons but still allow me to control evening else. My job was to maintain level flight longitudinally with rudder and maintain the maneuver with pitch. Now what she was doing, she would rock the ailerons quickly left to right continuously without a pattern. Keeps you on your toes literally.
That’s genius! Thanks for sharing. I do something similar in the pattern sometimes. I’ll land the plane and let the student use the rudders.
It's awesome to know about this little Musketeer, would love see more videos about tail draggers and RV.
Thanks! I just got my tailwheel endorsement with Seth and I’m hoping to have two videos out in the next month
Amazing video, this can save a life in a situation, well done, I will try it next time 👨✈️obviously at a high altitude
Thanks!
that was awesome thanks guys
You’re welcome!
The actual falling leaf maneuver is _with_ wings dropping, alternating left and right. In other words, this is an incipient spin e.g. to the left, recover, then to the right, recover, then to the left again, etc. This is much more difficult. Try not to gain speed while doing this!
I don’t think people do that one too much anymore because you are right on the edge of a spin. If you’re in the utility category, that would be a good one to try
Agree. I do this with my students, but call it "parachuting"
nice!!!,
this video help me bcs yeah today im stall exercise
Awesome! Glad you found it useful
Do that in my piper 140 and the dihedral wing it's super stable. Just pull back all the way and it does this. It's fun
That’s cool! We definitely picked a tough plane to do this in lol
Check the cg & loading graph in the POH of this aircraft
From what I understand, all super famous flight instructors shop at Buc-ee's.
😂 I’m on the right track then!
This reminded me of my Dad's trip to the west coast in his 1955 Cessna 180, arriving at Chilliwack BC at 6 am he needed to lose 10'000' altitude, he slowed to stall speed holding the stick all the way back controlling yaw with rudder pedal & falling like a leaf then recovered to land, all without shock cooling the engine. That was in 1964
That is super interesting!
Awesome
Thanks!
I got my PPL in a Beach Sport at the U of Illinois. That was a neat plane because it was approved for spins and had some aerobatic capability. Back then (1979) spin training was a natural part of training.
That’s super cool. I didn’t know that!
What is the airport identifier for this field?
KRUE!
wait there's a bucees in ky?
Yup, I think it’s pretty new. It’s in Richmond Kentucky
Good Luck Capt, Beautiful airplane of course. It's a Beechcraft. Musketeer 19 is a real poor climbout fuel plus 2 pax. Landing one takes a good stable approach. Basketball Dibble down the runway is responsible for noted prop strikes. The cabin is wider than a piper. so they are slower in cruise then a 172 or Warrior. But it again is still a Beechcraft. I flew a Green and Gold edition. If you upscale to its bigger brother. You get two doors. One on each side of the cabin. But the trailing link landing gear is still standard equipment. But even the Muskteer is classy chassis. It's a Beech. I can't watch the landingland
It seems like a great aircraft for the price
"DPEs hate this one maneuver" :P
Lol. That’s probably true
Can you make videos for instrument students?
I want to! I’m still working on the Private pilots series. As soon as I’m done, I’ll start in on instruments
More videos about everything 🙂 and instruments too! 🎷🎺🎸🪕🎻🥁🪇🪈🪗🎹 😂 - I crack myself up..... 🤣😂
The other day i was listening to a spotify podcast from far/aim #019 AIM 4-3-23 and its was about the clear prop call, they were debating if it was useful or not, i (not IRL pilot)believe it can be best practice when handled correctly. to my understanding it is not mandatory it is just commonly done, but it is done wrong. when calling clear prop you should at least give it some time before starting the engine, otherwise it has no use. i started looking at this video and the first thing i noticed was someone calling clear and immediately followed up by a engine start. this is something i will try to do different when i am going for my PPL. chances are nobody will ever be around the plane when starting it, but delaying the start for 5 seconds will never heart anyone and maybe save a life.
I truly love your yt training videos, i watched the complete ground course from start to finish during my lunch breaks as a preparation for my irl ground course (in belgium europe) i hope its not to different from the usa ground course since i bought the FAA pilots handbook of aeronautical knowledge. devouring that book is going to take some time.
anyway thanx for putting all the useful info out there for free, its highly appreciated.
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the thought! I will try to use this line of thought in the future too 👍
I teach all my students to call clear. Then check front left right and rear. It takes a few seconds, and you physically look for people and obstructions. Best of both worlds.
"...improve your stall..."? Bad idea. You need to improve *stall recovery*, and prevention of *stall onset*.
Yes, this helps improve directional control because it allows you to see what control inputs to use instead of doing one stall and not understanding which control inputs you should use
@@FreePilotTraining I don't disagree with your intent or the video itself. IMO, the video's title should have been given more thought. Fly safely.🛩
@@c17nav I'd have to disagree. The name of the maneuver in all the ACS areas of operation is called a Stall, not a stall recovery. I agree that it's semantics, but it would be totally legitimate to say this is an exercise to improve your stalls.
Sure you need those things to be a good pilot, but it is important to know how the plane behaves in a stalled condition because all of the prevention in the world can’t prevent you from experiencing them 100%, and for how little effort it takes and how fun it is I would hate to be lacking in knowledge and skill.
