Demonstration Stalls! - CFI Check ride

Among the things you have to demonstrate on your CFI check ride are how to do a number of different types of stalls that aren't actually found in the private or commercial pilot ACS. Today we look at the cross-control stall, the elevator trim stall and the secondary stall!

Man couldn't you have put this out a week ago when i was looking for this exact video? Just passed my CFI initial and this would have really helped

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

Haha sorry man! But congrats on the pass! Obviously you didn’t need my video ;-)

[@TheBrennan90]

@@NorthwestAeronaut I was so nervous for the cross crontolled stall and no video I saw shows it so accurately like yours. I did mine in a 172 so basically nothing happens.

I practice this maneuver every time I turn base to final. LOL. Good video. Was just reading these in my maneuvers book. Good to watch it in action.

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

😂. Your Comanche might behave a little different than the 150 in a cross controlled situation 😅

[@EvanLester-v2f]

great video! i recently took my CFI checkride and watched this video the night before because it had been months since i practiced these, and forgot how to do the demo stalls. i passed the checkride and just wanted to say thanks for the help!

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

Fantastic! So glad to hear that and congrats!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Great new video, dude! And great emphasis on OTHER aircraft. Doing a go-around on Sunday with my CFI I was (as always in my HP complex airplane) trimmed way back. I realized it though when I added power, called out jokingly “trim stall!” pushed like normal and retrimmed. But damn, “go-around and PUSH!!” is going to be my call-out going forward.

[@TheBrennan90]

Don't forget the right rudder. "Go around, push, rudder" them left turning tendencies will be there.

Good video, thanks

2:20 Left Rudder and Left Aileron is NOT at cross controlled stall. In a skidding turn the airplane tends to over-bank natural reaction is to apply opposite Aileron to prevent that, in this case Right. That is a cross controlled scenario. This can very quickly develop into a spin as the low wing stalls at the tip due to inappropriate aileron control and the blanking of airflow to the low wing by the fuselage as a result of skid.

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

You’re not wrong. That is what’s being demonstrated here though as although I am initially putting in the left bank, I am having to use right aileron to keep it from over banking. 👍 sorry if that wasn’t made clear, and thanks for watching!

Great video! would like to see those maneuvers in a piper tomahawk, a.k.a. traumahawk

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

Haha you bring the plane and I’ll bring the cameras! Lol

[@fernandoponcedeleon7963]

I have a genuine question.... at 4:37 when you stall and start the recovery, once you see the nose was trying to turn to the left, wouldnt using right aileron make it worse? I thought you needed to use right rudder in that case, instead of right aileron.

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

You’re not wrong. In this particular case I wasn’t actually spinning and wasn’t stalled at that time. Once the nose is down and you have wind over the wings again, the ailerons will become useful again. 👍

[@markboettcher5682]

Great video

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

Thanks Mark!

[@HooknlineCowman]

I didn’t see right aileron in the cross controlled stall. Looked more like an accelerated stall

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

@@HooknlineCowman yeah I could have emphasized it more here. I was really just holding enough to prevent it from continuing to bank more left. I’ll be doing an update video for these stalls soon and it will be better 👍

[@ArizonaFlyer623]

Did you have to preform these on your CFI Checkride to a full-break?

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

Nope. Generally you don’t ever do that

[@ArizonaFlyer623]

@@NorthwestAeronaut thanks for the reply. Subscribing for more vids.

[@flysport_tedder]

I was stressed out from just the first ten seconds.

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

😂 I'm good at drama :)
