Airplane Stability Explained (Private Pilot Ground Lesson 6)

[@gracehenrey7506]

Honestly God bless you for these videos. They make so much more sense to me than the Sportys videos and the Embry Riddle videos. The way you break it down is phenomenal.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks Grace! I hope to make many more!

[@ahmedgouda1094]

Starting PPL soon, I don't think anyone did something similar to your videos with too much time and dedication, I truly appreciate the knowledge sharing.

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome!

[@karlimartin261]

I’m nearing the end of ground school. So, using these videos as a review to help prepare for the written exam. These are very helpful. I appreciate that they are short bc it gives the option to either watch multiple or just one or two when you have time.

[@TOMCAT631]

I come from the old school, and the chalkboard made a world of difference in walking thru and seeing the concepts come to life right in front of you. Any questions? Nope, it makes perfect sense to me now. Wheels up to you and keep up the good work and content. The world of future aviators will be watching, following, and counting on you!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks! I hope to make many more! I’ll see you around

0:10 stability is the ability of the aircraft to correct for disturbances in its equilibrium and return to its original flight path 0:53 two types of stability •Static- initial tendency or immediate reaction after control input or one of the 3 axis are changed by an outside force 1:25 positive static- when airplane wants to return to flight path after moving up 1:37 neutral- if airplane stays in same pitch 1:42 negative static- if airplane continues to pitch up 1:59 Dynamic- airplanes response overtime to an upset in the equilibrium. 2:01 positive dynamic- airplanes oscillates before returning to normal flight path 2:20 neutral dynamic- if plane stays oscillating 2:24 negative dynamic- if oscillations get worse 2:38 longitudinal stability -nose is heavy in the airplane because usually the CG is in front of the center lift or center of pressure - 3:02 horizontal elevator is designed with a slight negative angle of attack so it asserts a downward pressure. This allows the airplane to be balanced at the optimum cruising speed. It is pretty much an upside down wing. If airplane slows down below optimum speed, the elevator won’t crate enough pressure to hold plane down. With more speed it will cause the nose to pitch down more 3:51 lateral stability on longitudinal axis -dihedral- low wing aircraft -keel effect- high wing aircraft 5:00 directional stability -occurs from weather vane affect and it’s achieved from the vertical tail on the aircraft -the relative wind will keep pushing the vertical tail back until it is in line

[@SuccessMindset2180]

1. Static stability is very helpful 2. Dynamic stability looks to be something to measure turbulences 3. Lateral stabulity measures an effect of a wind

[@bilalmohamed4780]

Extremely helpful and easy to understand! Thanks for this!

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome!

[@JiffyDealer]

I love these series!! Thanks. One note, you introduced “attitude” without explaining what it is. Again, thanks!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks Daniel! I’ll remember that when I remake these earlier videos

[@heathert2831]

Thank you so so much for making these videos! I can actually comprehend the aspects of flying much better than the online ground school I paid for and other resources I’ve tried! ❤️✈️

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome!

[@emrekahraman1180]

Thx for the lessons Captain, so happy to watch your lessons. You make it so simple and clear, appreciate that👏👏👏👏👊

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome! 👊🏻

[@drewleevy5420]

I am taking my CFI ride shortly. This helped bridge the gap on my knowledge thank you!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Awesome! Good luck on that checkride!

[@mushmush09]

Thank you so much for this information

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome!

[@american5564]

Great lesson!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks!

[@dmacnet]

Very clear explanations!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks!

[@royalwilson6640]

I sometimes view these type videos when I "think" I need to brush up...A good pilot is always learning, thanks

[@FreePilotTraining]

Awesome! I’m so glad you’re finding these helpful

[@More-right-rudder]

Json Shephard, is that you? Bc a Good pilot is always learning.

[@Quackamole14]

As a child, my dream is to fly. Thank you for making it more affordable and easier. : )

[@FreePilotTraining]

No problem

[@aneita01]

Great Lesson

[@HisWayHomestead]

I like the content, but the animated hand writing on the chalkboard is very distracting and annoying. But this is good content and I appreciate you sharing it.

[@FreePilotTraining]

I really appreciate the feedback. I will no longer be using the hand writing. A lot of people find it distracting.

[@HisWayHomestead]

@@FreePilotTraining it’s like French food, it’s okay in small portions…. 😉

Great video. I'm on my way to Mi. On A Greyhound bus. Derek Banzul

Awesome! Please tell me you’re going to the UP! It’s beautiful up there!

[@capricepascoerealtor519]

Great explanation. Thank you 😊

[@FreePilotTraining]

No problem!

[@phoonjzc]

Great lesson

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks!

[@garret8787]

Does anyone understand what he meant at 4:30. I think he is not explaining something clearly there.

[@wojciechnowak8327]

Thank u for video I wish knew that before when was overreacting on final . Airplane has tendency to balance itself. Didn't know that at 8 h of trainning

[@FreePilotTraining]

You’re welcome!

[@arwood111]

Thank you!

[@samnelson3526]

4:49 Pendulum stability or the 'keel affect' is a myth. High-wings are more stable because of the high and low pressure zones that develop on the sides of the fuelage beneath the wing during sideslip. A simple free-body diagram of the forces of lift and weight will show that the weight cannot produce a moment about the aircraft CG.

[@FreePilotTraining]

Myths are a myth

[@phyowaihtet7017]

can someone help me explain this video? I've been watching many times but it's still complex for me. I would appreciate if someone make notes or summarize this video for simple understaning. Thank you.

[@bryan333333333333333]

4:27 How does the wing in front have an increased angle of attack? I thought angle of attack is relative to the pitch axis?

[@FreePilotTraining]

Not necessarily. It has do do with relative wind. Relative wind directly opposes the airplane’s direction of travel

[@bullitanaconda]

Hi can you tell what animation software did you use to create the video Thanks

[@FreePilotTraining]

It’s called doodly

[@bullitanaconda]

They have 2 versions Doodle and doodle maker

[@702cm]

Something to note is there isn't dynamic stability without positive static stability. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Very true

[@Captain_Teh]

Great video! But for static stability video I think 'JxJ "Aviation make a more understandable video, but keep it up!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Thanks! I hope to remake this video eventually.

[@Captain_Teh]

@@FreePilotTraining Ok!

[@phoonjzc]

But I cant grasp the main point.

[@plty3931]

Basically the plane is designed to make small adjustments automatically to re-balance the flight. If the wind pushes the nose upwards, the plane uses its auto trimming to pitch it back down 😊

[@plty3931]

Dont worry If you don’t get it, its not of utmost importance

[@aletheagallacher4265]

That most planes are designed to autocorrect themselves to straight and level flight without pilot interference.

[@DoomTrooperTV]

Great content but that hand flailing around the whole time is a bit much

[@FreePilotTraining]

I appreciate the comment! I’m going to replace the videos with the hand as soon as I finish the PPL series

[@midou528]

@@FreePilotTraining Please do so!! Very distracting indeed

[@FreePilotTraining]

@@midou528 will do. My plan is to do that as soon as I finish the PPL series, then it’ll be time to start working on instrument stuff!

[@EmilyTienne]

I want to know why it takes you 7 seconds to draw an entire airplane, complete with a tail number…but it takes you 10 seconds to draw a simple arrow. 😂. Just having fun, but I do benefit from your content!

[@FreePilotTraining]

Lol. I was riding the struggle bus on these early videos.
