FSX Tutorial: Stalls

[@nal2us2]

Doofer all I can say about you is........... YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking time to make these.... what are they?....... Oh yes I remember now............AWESOME VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!! Thank you

[@Doofer911]

Glad you like them!

[@nal2us2]

No way Doofer..... I dont LIKE them. That would be an insult to you to say that Brother. I love them. They have been an excellent point of reference when working with my CFI. Question.... do you have a video for emergency procedures for an engine failure in mid flight including phraseology needed with either controlled or non-controlled field?@@Doofer911

[@nal2us2]

Disregard Doofer. I found your video on Emergencies. Thank you Sir!!!!

[@adven3814]

Excellent video. I'm practicing power on/off stalls right now. It's great to watch these videos and get a visual prior to real thing. Nice job!

[@Doofer911]

Thanks, yeah they're quite an important skill to learn when flying for real I think, plus it's good fun forcing a simulated plane into stalls/spins when the reset button is your safety net lol

[@Lcadelaide]

loving the quality of these turorials! really translates into the patience and passion that went into making the videos, thank you!

[@sarathw5740]

I have watched many stalling videos and nobody explained this so clearly than you. You are a wonderful teacher! Thanks. Can you make a video on the spin stall?

[@Sy-T007]

Thanks man, you're way better than the instructor on mfsx. Loving the series

[@ikmal9773]

top-class explanation. 2020 and you just earned a sub

[@CLipka2373]

That "air flows faster over the top thus creating a lower pressure" myth has been taught to pilots and even aviation engineers for ages, but in recent years is increasingly recognized as pretty much wrong (I never found it convincing in the first place): As it turns out, the primary contribution to the pressure differential is from the effective angle of attack after all. (Note how even in the "level" configuration commonly depicted, the center of the leading edge is actually higher than the trailing edge, so the effective angle of attack is still non-zero.)

[@Doofer911]

Hey CLipka, thanks for pointing that out! I'm going to revisit the topic of lift for a future video because a couple of people have mentioned that my explanation might not be accurate or based on an old understanding of aerodynamics.

[@NoFaithNoPain]

At 1:00 I am afraid your explanation of lift is not correct at all. However, this explanation is commonly taught to Pilots. If this theory were correct then an aircraft could not fly upside down and a symmetrical aerofoil would not produce lift. There is a wealth of information out there, but this explanation will not hurt you if all you want to do is basically fly a plane and stay out of trouble. I am living the videos incidentally and it is great to go back and catch up on all those basics from my student pilot days. Well done. Subscribed.

[@Doofer911]

You know, I think I'm going to revisit the topic of lift because you're the second person to mention that. Thanks for letting me know, I'll get a new video made in the next few weeks :)

[@NoFaithNoPain]

Doofer911 Good luck!!! If you want to start a fight between any two aerodynamicists - ask them what causes lift LOL... My tip - think of a helicopter - the wing is rotary and causes downdraught... just more noticeable.. Oh,,, thanks for the IMS stuff - That's really top notch. Another tip - look at "SkyDemon, that's what we real world pilots use for flight planning. You can have a trial cersion and it runs with x-plane too.

[@tharagleb]

Came here to say the same thing. Although the Bernoulli effect does provide lift it can't be the main force because of the whole flying upside down thing. The main lift must come from the angle of attack, not the curvature of the wings.

[@MrAlwaysBlue]

Does this mean that a wing need only be a flat plank, angled upwards, and that an aerofoil section is unimportant?

[@Stormchaserda18th]

Before you go in the stall, you enter slow flight. Therefore you shouldn't decrease altitude.

[@leopard6554]

Hello, my Turn Coordinator keeps turning left all the time and i have no control over it. It makes me crazy ): . what should i do?

[@Doofer911]

Go to the Settings and disable an option called "Gyro Drift"... should be under the Realism page.

[@BK-it6te]

Excellent video well done, in real life you will feel the stall , the plane starts sinking and vibrating

[@billscott85]

are you a real pilot cause you a lot about these things. love the series

[@Doofer911]

+Bill Scott Nope, just a flight sim enthusiast!

[@ikasperski9842]

then u should be a pilot ;D

[@Doofer911]

If I could afford to do the real world training, I would be! haha

[@ikasperski9842]

+Doofer911 yes :D

[@treborhg_9381]

I have always loved aviation since I was a kid. I am planning on getting my private pilot certification which I am doing research and it apparently cost around 10 to 15000 dollars.

[@dolphinszz2291]

Are stalls and slow flight really really important in aviation? I'm afraid that when a stall does occur, I am going to forget the steps.

[@Doofer911]

Yeah they are. If you stall and don't know how to recover, chances are that you'll crash into the ground. It's very easy, push the nose down and apply full power then slowly pull back up.

[@mdo]

FlightEnthusiast05 as Doofer said they are very important. As far as I know you are required to practice stalls and slow flight in pilot school (at least for PPL).

[@locutusofborg6398]

umm i need help in a airbus i try to lower the nose but it just gose high and higher

[@Doofer911]

Is that when you stall? The physics in FSX aren't the best.

[@locutusofborg6398]

Yup it gave me a stall warning and I increased speed but when I was trying to lower the nose it slowly started going up then I corkscrew into the ground 😂
