  • (Please Subscribe to our Channel!) If you're learning to fly or a seasoned pilot, DPE Joe Casey returns to talk about the dangerous difference between slipping an airplane and skidding an airplane. One is a useful tool, the other can quickly get the pilot killed. Understanding the airflow and the blanking of the wing can mean the difference. Also learn how to recover from a spin.

      Wow, I knew which one was the dangerous one and frankly use slips always, but this was the best explanation I have seen of the difference. Totally agree with the guest, slips are incredibly useful tools especially to lose altitude if you come in too high on final and want to dump some altitude without increasing speed

    As a Cropduster flying extremely low to the ground in extremely heavy airplanes usually no more than 300 feet flying under powerlines at 180 mphAnd doing over 300-600 wing over hammerhead turns a day , also being an Aerobatic competition pilot ,an ex CFI That has trained 38 pilots from start to finish how to fly ,with close to 10,000 hours now ,2000 hours as a Flight instructor my number one piece of advice is take basic aerobatic training which includes advanced spin recovery and emergency manoeuvring training is the single greatest thing that you will ever do for yourself as a pilot !! the moment that airplane reaches a 90° bank angle you need to know to be pushing forward on the controls and be very comfortable flying in the inverted world! it’s just like when the neighbours dog runs in front of you your natural reaction is to hit the brake pedal in an airplane your natural reaction is to pull back on the stick which is a death sentence once you become inverted you need to be trained enough to know that you need to be pushing forward on the stick and continue the roll back to level and you have a chance to recover from this low level spin recovery. there’s no way I can Express to you the importance of basic aerobatic training ! it’s not a waste of money it’s just like learning to drive your car sliding around in the parking lot on ice ,if you don’t do that there’s no way you’re ready for it out on the roads ! same thing in an airplane you need to go exposure self to these inverted conditions to be comfortable with it to give yourself a fighting chance if anything ever goes Wrong close to the ground , you have the tools to give yourself a chance to survive!!!

    10:20 when you turn to the left, it is the right aileron that goes down, not the left. So the right wing would have the higher AoA.

    • @richardweil8813
      @richardweil8813 3 роки тому +11

      It is scary that you didn't get instruction in this. This is why it is so important to not skid in the pattern. Slips are fine for crosswind or losing altitude fast, but a skid on that base to final turn...no altitude for recovery.

    • @starjetpilot
      @starjetpilot 3 роки тому +4

      a skid would require way too much rudder. If you give the correct amount of rudder, or close to it, it only results in a turn. You would have to purposely do a skid for some reason. I can't think of a reason.

    • @thomaswayneward
      @thomaswayneward 2 роки тому +1

      @Jim M Baloney, there are a lot of sloppy instructors out there. My first instructor almost killed us on a landing. Second one was bad. My third instructor was an FAA check pilot and he was great, I then started really learning.

    • @kennethforeman3402
      @kennethforeman3402 Рік тому +1

      Low and slow base to final turn, trying to push the nose around with the rudder because you are late to the turn, no or little bank = disaster.

Back in the mid 80's while I was getting my PPL my instructor had me doing spin recovery before he would cut me loose on my first solo flight, he stressed that he was not teaching me how to spin, but rather how to recognize a spin and recover.

    This one is destined to be a classic. Somehow or another my instructor got this one across to me. And actually gave me spin training! That and tailwheel are my two proudest accomplishments in aviation. If I got current again there would be a number of other holes in my skills, but I don't think this would be one of them, or at least would come back to me more easily. I really enjoyed doing slips while practicing no flap landings. Yes, absolutely very useful maneuver.

    I'm a newbie to the aviation world - just really became interested in it 2 years ago at age 44, thanks to UA-cam in High Def. This I think is the most important thing I've learned in that time! I pictured it in my head each time Joe explained it, and now I 100% get it. Seeing it visually made all the difference. THANK YOU!
    A pilot's license is probably a long way down the road for me, but it's on the bucket list, for sure. For now, I managed to buy a paramotor. Haven't flown it yet, but was in the practice stage and making great progress until the typical Northeastern USA temperature change came the first week of November. Really excited about flying this thing! Hopefully the snow melts early and Spring arrives early, too. :)
    I'm amazed that I just found your channel now. I blame UA-cam for that - you guys should be well into the SIX-FIGURE subscriber count, IMO. Started watching last week, and this channel is FANTASTIC!! It shouldn't be taking this long for the channel to head to the moon as far as subscriber count goes. I have no doubt it will in due time, but it should be there NOW! GREAT STUFF!! Keep up the great work! 👍🍻

Moderate tailwind, added left rudder right aileron and skidded onto final. It wasn’t a very hard skid but definitely something that I don’t want to happen again.
