When I do steep turns I always add two slaps of trim. When I turn wings level I have to give a good amount of forward pressure to maintain altitude

I'll never forget having an iced elevator stuck at about a 15° upward angle. I immediately declared an emergency and tower replied "all options available". This was in a fully ice-certified aircraft and recently sprayed down. I'm glad I declared, and would do the same if it happened again.

Great video thanks Nathan more trim awareness should get out there. I had a full nose down trim run away in an Eaglet. The forces on the stick was alarming and I was worried about damage or departure from the control system while I was trying to overcome the electrical malfunction, note the Eaglet has a full flying tail plane

@NathanBallardSaferFlying Ай бұрын

I think round two of this topic is going to be exploring the force needed in different airplanes, like your eaglet experience, and then something bigger and faster than a 172. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I very much appreciate it!

@NathanBallardSaferFlying Ай бұрын

Which eaglet was that? The Tecnam or the AE?

@stevel1451 Ай бұрын

It is a Tecnam, I have almost completed an Explorer taildrager kit, I am removing the installed electric trim and fitting a manual set up. Most likely a wheel like some GAs

@AV8OR51 Ай бұрын

Very well done! Great points! I have to say I don’t use trim much. I know trim settings play a massive role in higher powered airplanes!

One thing I do to protect my health before flying is wearing a good pair of nitrile gloves while checking the fuel sumps. On a 172S, there are 13 fuel sumps and you will invariably get fuel on your hands during the pre-flight, especially if it's windy. Tetraethyllead (the lead additive in 100LL) passes right through the skin on contact, so getting it on your hands is definitely something you want to avoid, but surprisingly I rarely see pilots wearing gloves when they sump fuel.

@NathanBallardSaferFlying Ай бұрын

That is such a great tip and observation, you are so right. I really appreciate this, thank you!

@ChristopherEllwood Ай бұрын

Great video! How to situate yourself to survive a GA crash is rarely discussed, so I'm really glad you covered that!

Hey Nathan, what an awesome video! I like the way you break down all the information, and the presentation is top notch. Definitely reach back out to you, and thank you for your support.

I nerded out about this a while ago... 14 CFR 23.143 www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2012-title14-vol1/pdf/CFR-2012-title14-vol1-sec23-143.pdf The max control force for temporary applications is 60lb for a stick, 75lb for two hands on a wheel and 50lb for 1 hand on the wheel for the pitch axis.

@nealhere Ай бұрын

I just learned a bit about this. If you slow down the force is less. This will buy you time to get circuit breakers pulled or getting away from the ground

@CFIMunden Ай бұрын

Wow what a great video

@1dullgeek Ай бұрын

During my autopilot check in preflight, I always find and pull the breaker just to remind myself which one it is. It never occurred to me to turn off master if I needed to. Thanks, Nate!

@hillcrestannie Ай бұрын

On a crosswind landing I had to do a go around and when I went full power the nose went straight up. Caught it in time and got the nose pushed over. It’s a very real threat so now I don’t trim as aggressively on landing. I do a lot of go arounds. White tail deer will keep you on your toes ! Great Video Nathen

@paratyshow Ай бұрын

👍✅ Just stick your hand out the window of a car at just 60 and you should understand a little about the force your trim tabs have👏 Great video and lesson Nathan!

Clear and concise - covered ALL the requirements. I retired as a B767 Captain 24 years ago. There was no requirement for this course prior to taking the ATP written then. Everything you covered I learned AFTER I got my ATP. I think this prerequisite requirement is great.

GA q... why does ATC insist making ga ac do 360° circles in pattern trying to land bc of busy traffic w mixed in corp jets .. ofcourse favoring the richazzzjets get all priority to land first. this is Class D .. Does FAA ATC towers do this everywhere now ? or just my area Boston? ithink ctrlrs just be bad and lazy cant separate traffic very good plain lazy and incompetent. Doing 360° turns circles at 1000'agl is very risky dangerous bad bad.. too much going on.. lot of student pilots or ga practicing touchandgos going on. Most stupid unsafe thing ATC could do doing this now alot I hear it 5-10x perday.. some same ac they tell do it 2x in row b4 can land. outofcobtrol .Accident deadly fatal A waiting to happen ATC could easily say extend dw or do S turns or tell jets slow up.. or tell ga ac stay outside classD area will call you and ga can circle at safe 2000'+ away in unbusy sky.. not inside the pattern. ! omg smfh You ever see run onto this any airports ?

I tried doing some research on YT, but there wasn't a lot out there. The folks at Delta/DPS were great in just making sure you know what to expect. As far as other prep, being instrument proficient will help during the sim sessions.
