What You'll Learn:
1. Yoke/Control Stick: Understand how to control the aircraft's pitch (nose up or down) and roll (bank left or right) to maintain stability and direction.
2. Throttle: Learn to manage engine power, controlling airspeed and altitude during different phases of flight.
3. Rudder Pedals: Master the use of rudder pedals to control yaw, ensuring smooth and coordinated turns.
This video is part of our "Basic Operator Pilot Skills Training Program," which aims to equip you with the necessary knowledge and confidence to handle critical in-flight situations. We'll walk you through each control step-by-step, providing clear explanations and demonstrations to help you understand and apply these principles effectively.
Key Highlights:
