This visual REALLY helped me understand the difference between a slip and a skid. So far, I've only read about it. This was seriously a light bulb moment! 💡💡

This lesson needs way more views. This could save lives

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.

Every student pilot needs to watch this video !! I've been flying for years and this is the best slip/skid explanation I've ever seen.

Best explanation of slips vs skids I’ve seen. Thanks! I learned tonight, and that’s a good thing!

I’ve had my PPL for 1.5 years now and that’s the first I’m hearing anything about a “skid”. That’s scary! The learning never ends. Great video. Thank you.

Wow! Joe Casey is an amazing instructor. He explains things in such a light bulb way. Thank you so much.

I am on my way to finish my ATPL theory and as you can imagine I have watched thousands of videos on KZfaq... And I can say that this one is by far the clearest, most explicative video I have found. Thank you very much, I will be seeing you much more often from now on

Haven’t taken my first lesson yet but I think this video has already saved my life. Cheers guys!

The best explanation on this. Let the man finish his full point/expansión then ask questions, he has very valuable information, he needs to finish he's sentences, he was interrupted a few times. Thank You for the video.

Excellent explanation and illustration of this situation.

3:34 that is where the actual explanation starts

Super clear. Interviewer asking the right questions. Excellent!

This is great. I really appreciate you posting this and going over it.

Very good explanation of an important concept - thank you, Joe. - Martin

A great lesson to be had in this video. As an instructor I will advise students to watch with great interest...

awesome explanation of why the stall occurs. this guy is a great teacher

Thank you for all of this free information. It helps A TON as a student

Just now becoming confident with slips. This explanation is gold.

This instructor is wonderfully clear, a natural teacher!!! A thousand thumbs up, this is a save!!!!

This is a clean-n-simple example of "how to" explain an important element in stall/spin awareness for CFI applicants. Very informative!

That was the best explanation I’ve ever heard or that I’ve seen. I haven’t ever properly understood those concepts. Thank you!!

Excellent video - conversation - explanation. Thank you so so much!

Awesome visual demonstrations accompanied by verbal descriptions. Best I've seen and heard on this subject!

Very good explanation. I definitely learned something. Thank you !!!

Very good explanation! Great to have out there to keep us safe.

Excellent video and explanation of slipping, skidding and the difference between - thank you for creating and posting this!!

Thank you so much as this really illustrates the differences and the significance of those differences.

As a new older pilot, I enjoyed learning from your knowledge base. Keep up the good work!

Great explanation. Glider pilots use slips all the time. Two rules I live by in the pattern. 1) Never bank over 45 degrees (30 is safer). 2) Never push on the downhill rudder.

I've never understood the dynamics and differences behind slips and skids and the nature of the spins this well before watching this. This guy is an eloquent instructor. Thank you.

Just watched it again for like the 5th time and it still gives me the lightbulb moment. Thanks again for the wonderful explanation.

Great visual explanation. Helped me understand what was going on. Thanks

Almost 15,000 hours and still good explanation’s like this can be a great review on what to watch out for.

This is one of those one in a million videos. I have it saved and watch it every few months because it’s that good.

The best explanation of a slip skid I ever heard. Thank you.

An awesome explanation. Smoothly got my understanding back on track just the way a SKID does to the aircraft.

This is so much better than reading it. Thank you for the effort and explanation.

Wow - Really appreciate the clear articulation with your $2 aid. A life saver video.

Agreeing with the many others who said this is the best explanation we've heard and seen on this topic! Thank you!

That was really useful! I understand slips but no one has ever explained the slip and the risks so well. Thank you.

learnt so much from the 15 off mins as opposed to being in ground school for over an hour. Thank you guys

Great video. The best explanation of skids and slips I’ve heard!

New subscriber and student pilot.... this is probably one of my favorite discussions and definitely helps me understand the slip and skid differences. Love the content you're are putting out.

Fantastic video! That base to final turn can kill you when you are trying to save the approach. Never go beyond a standard rate turn in the pattern. Don't be afraid to go around.

This is the best explanation of this topic. Very good

Very well done. I especially liked the visual aid.

Excellent!!! Best explanation by far I've heard.

Awesome explanation of the difference between a skid and a slip. Using the model makes it very easy to understand.

Wow. That's an amazingly clear and insightful discussion. So many lightbulb moments for me in watching this.

Very thankful I took my CFI checkride with Casey. Gives excellent visual explanation. I come back to this video time from time to teach my students the same way. I didn’t quite understand slip and skid until later in my training and wished I seen this a lot sooner. Thanks!

Awesome, thank you for the clear explanations. Not that I didn’t hear it before, but the detailed explanation combined with questions during that explanation. It certainly Enhanced it.

Very clear explanation , thanks!

This video is AMAZING! I will watch and rewatch many many times! I will watch all videos from Joe Casey that I can find. Thanks a million.

Very useful and very visually. Thank you.

This is the best explanation of this I've ever seen.

Great explanation. I learned a bunch in this video, thank you.

absolutely perfect explanation.

GREAT discussion! Well explained by Joe!

You just made me understand the most confusing topic I was dealing with, thank you. Some people have a way of making things easy and you sir, certainly have that ability. Lucky ones who have you as their CFI.

Excellent instruction explained clearly , perfectly understandable ...

This was the best explanation I've seen. Also a necessary, but frightening, reminder about the result of a traffic pattern stall spin.

Going to watch this more than once, thanks so much! PARE

I'm preparing for my PPL checkride next week and I have never truly understood slips and skids. This was amazing.....not just for my checkride, but this lesson will stick with me forever.

Thanks, this is the first video where I finally get the difference between slip and skid!

Awesome video! I've been looking for more info on the differences between a Slip and Skid now I know the difference. and learning about Spins is always good to learn about.

Super useful, will definitely remember due to the visuals provided. I’ve only ever read about slips and skids

As a gliding instructor this was great to watch.

This was the best demonstration I've seen of a slip vs a skid. I'm going to have to watch this a few more times to make sure I have this permanently engraved in my mind. 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.

Thank you so much for this! Saved me from a huge miss understanding on the subject.

Great Video! Perfect explanation and visualization. This has helped me and made me more aware of how and why those accidents happen on the base turn.

Joe Casey is a boss! Thanks for having him on for this topic.

The best explanation of skid vs. slip I’ve ever heard. Thanks for sharing that.

I agree with most of the comments. Best explanation of Slips vs Skids I have seen, and it helped me tons.

Thanks for the awesome explanation!

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.

One of the best explanations I have heard, thank you for the visual and the “why”. I sent this over to my CFI!

Excellent. Using the model to demonstrate the influence of the nose on airflow was a lightbulb moment for me. Excellent instructor.

This was very helpful. Thank you!

GREAT VIDEO!!! over the years I always heard that cross controling was how you got into a spin so I could not undertand why anyone would slip an airplane, after this video everything is clear, thank you so much!!!!

Nice. You always have excellent videos. Very professional. Great job

Great presentation, thank you so much!

Excellent video. This was the best explanation of the difference between skid and slip -- the visual aid really does the trick to understanding why a skid is so dangerous and when you are most likely to get into a skid at low altitudes.

Fantastic explanation! Thanks!

I know this is years late, but I learned something really valuable here, and more importantly, I learned how I can teach it to my future students to keep them same. Thank you so much, I've never heard a more clear explanation of slips vs skids and how to apply it to flying more safely.

This is one of the most important videos I have ever watched and shared with my daughter. My daughter she’s just ten and had her first discovery flight in the wong warrior with Christy and I put such a huge emphasis on education and safety. Love this video!

Great video, also will be very informative to mention the difference between side slip and forward slip!

thank you so much for this awesome explanation!

Seemed like Joe was speaking directly to me at 12:53. Getting my tail wheel endorsement currently and had this exact situation on my turn to base today. 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.

Wow! This was the best explanation of slip and a skid.

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!

Great interview/discussion. It's always a pleasure listening to what Joe has to say. I'm not a pilot, but I love aviation and learning. Thank you both!

I never thought of it this way. Very very nice, and important!

Thanks for this really clear explanation.

Extremely useful video!Thank YOU!

I'm a student pilot! and I was about to go crazy regarding slip and skid! this video made it clear! great video, a great way of explaining, and the visual aid made the difference, in special for people with less experience!!! A+ 🙂

Good video, good explanation, good refresher. Thanks.

Excellent explanation. Thanks!

This guy is amazing!! Loved how he explained with the 2 dollar visual aid
