Flight Simulator Lesson 4: Stalls and Spins

[@stephs.1001]

Very good! Full power, opposite rudder, NO aileron!

[@Godwin1]

Thanks man ! Your lessons are very helpful and beneficial

[@johnapstrader3459]

Fantastic explanation

[@eggface17]

AWESOME videos mate, love them! Very helpful!

[@nailaahmed7945]

Awesome!! Thanks

[@pazzazas88]

Keep the videos coming! Great for a beginner to flight sims like me! Could you please do an episode about flight terminology and how to communicate with the tower and everything like that?!

[@flighttrajectory]

Martin Guzman Lesson 6 will cover ATC communications; it's halfway done, hopefully not too much longer! :p

[@h4z3m1]

Please do an episode for all of the buttons and switches in a jet plane or a commercial airliner :D

[@baldaslove]

thank you so much flighttrajectory, will you upload lessons on taking off a cessna and landing.

[@flighttrajectory]

+harsh ahire yes, it's on my list :) I'm hoping to have the time to start making videos again soon!

[@baldaslove]

yup...exited for it!

[@evildude109]

Does a stall during a landing follow the same rules as a standard go-around, cram-climb-clean-call? After regaining airspeed of course.

[@flighttrajectory]

+evildude109 yes, depending on where you are at. For example, if you stall 3-5 feet above the runway, you probably won't hurt the airplane. If you're more like 10 feet above the runway, and you fully stall the plane onto the runway, you're definitely gonna do some damage! And in the landing stalls I showed you, yes, the procedure is essentially the same. The biggest thing to remember is DON'T clean up your flaps until after the stall is broken and you've regained airspeed

[@MJfan82]

Hey, these videos are terrific. Can you explain what flaps are?

[@scottgiotta23]

MJfan82 flaps are a device the increases the camber of an airfoil to increase lift and lower the stall speed.

[@yubrajkawar8330]

Can you show how the engineless glider recover from stalls naturally? It would be a great help for me....

[@felippevanzelli4840]

I don't know if it's possible, but it would be cool a start-up, pre-flight, takeoff and climb Lessons for future videos.

[@flighttrajectory]

Felippe Vanzelli I just published lesson 5 yesterday on starting and shutting down the plane :)

[@ni7232]

love this

[@denisriordan1312]

Thank you

[@bogdanmoraru1972]

You're awesome!!!!!

[@CuriousSoulCanada]

pretty good teaching style. I am using FSX but I am not getting such realistic sounds and images. Is your software a recent release?

[@flighttrajectory]

Thanks, I'm glad you like the video! I used X-Plane 9 for this video, and X-plane 10 for my newer ones. A lot of the graphics quality depends on your computer :)

[@charlesdahmital8095]

Just keep in mind how these corrective maneuvers came to be. A lot of early days failures and a couple of lucky pull outs.

[@Ratlins9]

Thanks, great instruction.

[@nocoat294]

By full power you mean increase throttle?

[@flighttrajectory]

+no coat Yes

[@bobbysands5385]

FYI, You should reduce power to idle, not ADD power. You don’t want the airplane to exceed the maximum speed (VNE) and break apart on recovery.

[@scottgiotta23]

On a power on stall especially low to the ground you are at full power then lower the nose to get the AOA below the critical angle of attack. I’m a real Cessna 172sp the VNE is 163 kts, you will never reach that unless u point straight down.

[@yuchenyu8857]

seriously not power idle when it comes to wing drop stall?

[@scottgiotta23]

Yuchen Yu no you are on take off, reducing power to idle would result in a loss of altitude and could hit the ground. Keep full power reduce the AOA and recover. You can look these up on the FAA website. The airplane flying handbook is downloadable and a great resource especially for you flight simmers.

[@S.E.M.876]

I think I might throw up when I'm doing my stalls and spins 😔

[@buketcarlier5619]

Daedalon pill helps, that’s what I do before flights and sim sessions 🤷🏻‍♀️
