@@jonslg240 Well, yeah, we disagree but that's ok, I still like you 🙂. A plane has a mind of its own too and will "eat the grass" when you're not looking. Trust me, as a CFI, you'll get A LOT more mileage (ha) out of disconnecting the automobile from the mind of your students. I've been riding since I was 9 years old and teaching flying for the last 20 years -- the analogy has been very powerful for me. In a car when you take your foot off the gas, the car stops. In a car, you need constant inputs to keep it on the road. When a horse is running it's pretty much "hold on loosely and don't let go" with minor adjustments along the way -- that right there is worth the comparison but it goes a lot deeper.

My instructor asked me, "Do you drive your car with that death grip?" I said that I usually only used two fingers. He said, "Great, do that here." As for level flying, he always preached flying smarter, not harder. Trim became my friend. As for the left-turning tendencies, I was trying to use the yoke instead of the rudder. He cured that in one minute. At times, as we were in the 150 and/or 172, I marveled at the fact that he was an old Vietnam era Navy A-6 Intruder pilot. He had the personality of a porcupine, but damn, he trained me well.

That whole "death grip" thing applies to cars too. In his memoirs the racing driver Fangio said he never won anything till a friend told him to hold the steering wheel just with a finger and thumb from each hand. Instantly his control of the car improved and he became a champion.

@@echooutdoors2149 I'd say it's even more important on street bikes, in a way. A dirt bike kind of trains you pretty quick not to death grip the bars, but on a street bike you can ride for YEARS and not get the memo. But once something does go awry on the street, man does that death grip put you down fast. Rather than "powering through" the pothole or whatever, the death grip turns what would be a quick steering wiggle into a whole-bike death wobble that ends with you landing on your neck. I've had a couple wobbles that I just allowed to pass, which I'm absolutely sure would have been a crash if I hadn't started on the dirt and learned to go with the flow. Even with blown shocks on a vintage tractor, bikes usually do the right thing when you just leave them alone.

I also always thought the big fan on the front of the aircraft was to pull us through the air (thrust) and create a relative wind over the wings.... I was informed by a senior pilot friend in his 70's that was not correct. Its actually the aircraft's air conditioning system, I implored him for an explanation! He simply said regardless of the outside air temp (January or August). When that big fan in the front stops in flight the pilot starts to sweat! 🤔😂

@realulli
@realulli 2 жыл бұрын
Think of it as energy management. The plane has the kind of energy: speed, altitude and fuel. You lose energy due to drag, you gain energy by refueling (or possibly from a strong updraft giving you altitude). The engine concerts the energy stored in the fuel into thrust. If the thrust exactly matches the drag, the plane will fly level. If it exceeds the drag, it will either accelerate or climb. Since you pitch for speed, the plane will accelerate a bit, then start climbing. Same for approach and landing. You slowly bleed off energy in the form of altitude and airspeed until you touch down.

During cruise flight, your primary flight control is trim. You will be regularly adjusting trim to maintain constant altitude as your plane’s balance changes due to fuel consumption. To maintain constant altitude, I frequently check the VSI (vertical speed indicator) and trim the plane to help keep it at zero with zero grip force. On bumpy days you have to accept some fluctuations in altitude. But on smooth days, its quite easy to maintain constant altitude this way.

I developed some bad trim habits with my training aircraft because it had no fairings, and Vy was very close to level cruise speed. If you have access to different aircraft, try flying something a bit more capable with a constant speed prop and cowl flaps, basically something that cruises at a different speed than it climbs. After initially leveling off with elevator and trim, the plane will continue to accelerate in level flight and you'll have to retrim several times to keep from climbing hands off-- watch the VSI for an early indication this is happening. If the aircraft is trimmed correctly for level flight with the cowl flaps open, you can watch the VSI as it loses drag and again starts a slow climb once you close the cowl flaps. Think about why that's happening. It's very good practice, and will break you of this bad habit quickly.

As a former equipment operator, I learned to handle the controls very loosely. Hydraulics love a light touch, otherwise they tend to rattle and bang and generally be very uncomfortable for the driver and noisy for all bystanders. It gets to the point where most equipment operators I know (and myself as well) use a joystick by holding the very top of it with 3-4 fingertips. Often, the main body of the stick, the part you're actually expected to hold on to, will never be touched by operators trying to gain a little more precision by holding the tip of the stick.

I have never flown an aircraft before. nor have I been in the front seat of any aircraft.. I have flown in the rear of larger planes but never in front. I will say this as someone wanting to get my commercial license to fly.. I bought MFS and have a 700$ flight sim control setup coming in the mail and have flown in VR with controls and have always worried how hard its going to be to fly in RL because of the difficulty flying in VR. For example, Leveling off in the real work (like you have done) and the ability to maintain level and heading accurately with no big issues compared to the simulator is day and night! it is incredibly hard to maintain level settings in a simulator without the use of AP.. Seeing you level and maintain ALT has given me a HUGE confidence booster in my abilities to fly an aircraft in RL in the future.. Thank you!

I really like the pen trick! I had a death grip in my early hours, it was a habit that was hard to break. Now studying my instructor rating I may use this trick, so thank you.

Just started my PPL and everything you discussed in the video I am currently working on. Getting level trimmed flight and learning my site picture out the window without relying on my instruments. I have realized that left turns are different than right and I usually have to add a little back pressure to keep the nose from dropping. I don't have the issue on right turns. I am also learning to not use the death grip. As this was only my second flight I have already started to improve and am learning to not fight the plane. It can be tiring if you do it for an hour!

Oh hay, KZfaq brought you back to me! I was listening to your TFP podcast a decade ago while I got my PPL. These days I only fly FPV quads. The crashes hurt a lot less.

as a horse rider and aviation enthusiast - you don't just 'get it going in a certain direction' then hold on loosely haha. If my flight instructor said that you me I would pull back on the yolk and kick the side of the aircraft! In the ways it is similar is having soft hands and not holding on for dear life, but still listening to the aircraft

So glad I watched this before my discovery flight..Told myself I wouldn't white-knuckle the yoke. Well, also didn't anticipate 16mph winds blowing me all over hell. My hands were sore afterwards.
