Backcountry Flying Basics: Slow Flight, Stalls, Upset Recovery, Falling Leaf

Learning to fly your airplane next to the edge of the flight envelope is an essential skill to take with you to the backcountry. These often overlooked maneuvers...slow flight, stalls, upset recovery, and falling leaf...are essentials for safely operating in any flying environment, but especially in the challenging backcountry. Join me as I demonstrate these skills and you'll quickly see the value of having these in your tool box when you fly. It's not all about just the take off and landing!!

Good explanation. UPRT, in Jet aircraft the stalling characteristics are different to light aircraft as on sweep wing jets the wing tips stall first which causes a pitch up, stalling more of the wing = deeper stall so the “Push” is very important and if the nose is high with power on you will need to reduce power initially to help the nose come down

Nice video. On modern clean gliders the "pitch is airspeed" thing is very noticeable. On approach you set/trim the elevator for your target airspeed. To change your rate of descent you adjust your air brakes.

Great video - excellent narration and sound quality too. Thanks for doing this. I'm new to flying and have only had one day of spin and upset recovery training so far. One thing that surprised me was when the instructor had me add too much inside rudder on a simulated base to final turning stall, and seeing how fast the inside wing stalled and tucked under. That got the blood pumping!

Thanks for the compliment on the video. Glad you got a taste of how quickly things can turn south…stick with learning and you’ll be good!

Nice! Well put together video, what happens if you slip and you stall your airplane? I have always heard that wings will just role level but have never got out to try with someone that had experience with it

@BlueCubAdventures Жыл бұрын

If you are at or near stalled and you accelerate one of the wings due to a rudder input (proverse roll, slip, etc.) the outside wing will produce slightly more lift, raising that wing and leading to the rotation of a classic spin. In these turning stalls the outside wing is reaching its critical AOA before the inside wing due the aileron input changing each wings AOA in the roll. That causes the higher AOA wing to drop and rotation will start from the high wing now accelerating forward and starting the rotation.... At least that's how I understand it.. I'm definitely no expert on spins... In answer to your specific question, it would depend on the type of aircraft. In a training aircraft, chances are you might stall straight ahead only because of the built in anti-spin characteristics of that airplane. A Cub, Decathlon, other types do not possess the same aerodynamic safety features.

On your right turning stalls, it doesn’t appear that you are coordinated. Your ball is on the inside of the turn suggesting that you need more right rudder. It isn’t surprising that your left wing dropped.

When you say folks are supprised by the left wing dropping, doesn't that go against conventional teaching. You looked like you were in coordinated level flight in the turn, I would have thought the nose would just have dropped perpendicular to the wings. What am I missing? JR

@mjbrennan99 Жыл бұрын

Engine torque, and the left wing started out with a higher aoa meaning it stalled first.

@ColinWatters 9 ай бұрын

I think it's probably prop wash that causes the left wing to stall first.
