This was an actual advanced flight training sortie.
Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled adventure as we take to the skies over Kingsville, Texas in a Navy T-45. Join me as we push the limits, practicing intense out-of-control flight maneuvers in this high-performance aircraft.
Today, we will intentionally stall the aircraft 70 and then 110 degrees nose high, then practice recovery procedures. Most instructors hate this flight, but I love it! Strap in and hold on tight as we fly over the Lone Star State!
Fly Navy!

What should be an unsettling maneuver even for an experienced aviator was walked through so calmly that even somebody with very limited experience and a rudimentary knowledge of the cockpit might just be able to pull that off. Hats off to you. Fly Navy!

My Sim parter when I got my BE300 Type Rating at Simuflight DFW was a Navy King Air instructor out of Corpus. I had been flying for food for almost 8 years single pilot 135 twin piston and twin turbine freight at that time. They threw everything at us that they could throw at us every sim session and we never crashed. There would be two or three instructors at a time in the sim trying to take us out every session. 😂 I got my ATP and a Single Pilot Endorsement on that check ride. Best pilot I had ever flown with and our CRM was extraordinary. We just clicked. What an honor it was flying together with that guy. He told me after the check ride that I was the best sick that he’d ever flown with and that I would have made an outstanding military pilot. I took that as a huge compliment considering who all he had flown with over his career. I knew I had earned my ATP the hard way and that was one of the proudest days of my flying career. I had spent 4 years Haze grey and underway aboard the USS JFK CV67 December 1981 - April 1985 Ships Company V4 Division wearing purple shirts. I always respected you guys and wanted to “grow up to be like you guys”. Now I’m retired with right at 22,800 hours PIC. I had prayed and asked God to be a pilot multiple times while crouched down in the catwalk with a fuel nozzle draped over my shoulder. He answered my prayers and gave me my hearts desire. Glory, credit, and praise be to God and His Son Jesus Christ for keeping me safe, proving everything that I need, and for blessing me with a great flying career. Praying the same for you Sir. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I was a USAF T-37 IP and we did a "stability demo" (student just watches) very early in a student's training. Pull the nose up to 70 degrees, pull the power to idle, set the controls to neutral and hold them there. The aircraft would depart, the nose fell, and airspeed picked up until it was flying again, and from there we recovered. The Tweet was a really good trainer.

I recall a senior project manager being confused when Engineering laughed at his suggestion we install SPILS (SPIn Limiting System) on the aircraft. Obviously he didn't fully understand the aircraft was designed as a Trainer.

Stall and spin recovery! Brings back my training in gliders. In the Schweitzer 2-33, it really didn't want to do either. Stalls, keep pulling back on the stick, almost to the stop, and as the air speed got low enough, the nose would finally drop. Not a real steep nose down, either. Spins, on the other hand, once you hit stall and kicked the rudder to a stop, the 2-33 seemed like your T-45 as it screamed toward the ground. Kick opposite rudder to stop spin, then steadily pulled the stick back to go level. It was very exciting the first time, but was training we needed to do, as we do enter and fly thermals in sometimes very tight turns, and if not coordinated, could enter a spin. In fact, we practice to control any spin tendency on turns onto final, while adding some crab in in a crosswind. The danger was what's called an 'over the top, spin entry', while at 300 - 400 feet, on final. They usually end bad if you start a spin at that point. So, we practice them at 3K AGL.

Way cool. It blows me away that you start at 16,000, climb to maybe 22 or 23, and the recover at 16,000 (ready to do it again, of course). It's also interesting to see how you use alpha to measure the pull both for the climb and the recovery. I use this "climb till it falls out" to induce spins for recovery training; great fun!

Yep remember them well. As an ex A7 guy, I instructed a bunch of those in the T2C. Even had a dual engine flame out on an inverted spin. Having a degree in Aero Engineering, I always found uncontrolled flight characteristics of different aircraft an interesting subject. If one participates in 1 v 1 similar ACM, it’s just a I matter of time before somebody will get to slow and depart. We lost an VF111 F14 on the USS America 81 cruise that way. Most ACM engagements are won IMO maintaining high energy anyway.

Reminds me of spin training in flight school. Our primary trainer was the PA-21-181 Archer III which is not spin rated, so we had to go up in the school's old 152. However, to stay within the performance envelope approved for spins, I had to fly with a different instructor because my primary instructor was a 6'7" 250 former college linebacker. Anyway, very similar: After some clearing turns, apply full throttle, pitch up to 15 degrees (IIRC...might have been 20), hold the elevator at full up deflection until the stall horn comes on, then kick the rudder one way or the other to spin in that direction. Once the spin starts, idle throttle then hold the controls as-is for a rotation or two. To break the spin push the yoke forward and apply opposite rudder. In my experience simply releasing the controls before the second rotation allowed it to recover on its own, then just a gradual pull up and reapply throttle though I suppose a different weight/CG or more rotations would have necessitated opposite rudder. :shrug: I thought I was going to hate them (I'm a fairweather pilot) but they were a blast - after the 5th or 6th spin the instructor was like "ok, time to head back"

Thank you very much for showing us real world stalls - the airline world doesn't allow us to do this in the actual aircraft - we can only do it in the simulator and starting at 37000ft and full stall the aircraft in level flight - the aircraft departs and to recover you push to follow zero lift - zero g. although the simulator aircraft is in zero g freefall, the simulator cab cant achieve zero g... the sim instructor just resets you back to 37000ft because it would take forever to climb the 10000ft after recovery back to 37,000ft.

We called it unusual attitude recovery. Our old C-23 couldn't achieve those angles and if it went on its back, it would stay there. We had to put our head down while the instructor tried to disorient us. Usually, that meant they tried to make you sick. Then we'd be told to recover and we'd look up, take the controls, and then react to the current aircraft condition. Easy as. I would have loved to have had time in a Goshawk.

I was in VF-126, back in the '80's. The first thing you did was teach OOC in the mighty T-2. We did the flat spin and at the end, an inverted spin. We entered the inverted spin by going 60 deg nose up, roll inverted, full forward and right stick and full left rudder. It would violently depart and progress into an inverted spin. It was pretty fun - we'd do the hop over "the date farm" near El Centro and would usually lose an engine. I DID get tired of THAT.
