How to Ace Power On/Off Stalls On Your Private Pilot Check Ride

[@tjflynn1014]

@Trent This is the best explanation of stalls, especially for power on stalls and when/why to use opposite rudder when the wing dips. My previous instructor never went over this, you explained in detail of what the plane is actually doing and why you do certain maneuvers to recover. Excellent job! I find these types of videos very valuable, keep up the great content.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Thank you! Just filmed another one this morning about flying the pattern and landing.

[@rashadsandridge718]

Check ride in 2 weeks and this is the first time hearing this information. So useful and will make a difference thank you!

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Glad it was helpful!

I’ve watched the Sportys section on this probably 5-6x. This video finally made it click. Thank you!

Perfect timing….My instructor was just preaching this to me on Sunday while our scheduled flight was cancelled due to weather. Thanks for your content!

You’re welcome! Thanks so much for watching one of my videos! I really appreciate you taking a moment to comment!

[@ronaldcampbell17]

Check ride in 4 days. Thanks Trent!

[@trent_dyrsmid]

You bet! I’m rooting for your success :)

[@stanurquhart1542]

Trent, after watching Dan Ryder on UTube as he interviewed a 21 yr old Female Airline Pilot with just over 1000 hrs, I learnt there is a restricted ATP at 1000 hrs. Why is everyone aiming for the 1500 hr mark?

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Because not, everyone can qualify for a restricted ATP.

[@Kenny-bp8ux]

If you went to university for your flight lessons (like doing it as a college degree), you only need 1000 flight hours. But if you didn't, you will need 1500 hours. I hope this helps.

Prepping for my checkride at months end and these videos are super helpful!

[@trent_dyrsmid]

I'm so glad! Another one coming soon :)

This was very helpful, especially the reasoning behind neutral ailerons. Thank you.

Great private pilot checkride info Trent! Keep the great stuff coming.

Thanks Trent! Ive been in spin training class and this is best explanation i have heard why rudder will pull you out

[@Mase1up]

I'll never forget my first flight, Cessna 172 doing power stalls. When those stalls broke it was something, lol. Finished up, did some pattern work, then it's dark and the lights come on. I thought the instructor was gonna take the landing since it was night, instead he says "Hey you gotta get night landings in at some point, might as well start now". There's something magical about that first one.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Indeed!

[@mikegreene4152]

Very good sir ! New student pilot here with 4 hours in, and beginning slow-speed and power-on stall training. This is useful to help me recap and to absorb what I've just experienced in the cockpit. Thanks very much!

Great video, one nitpick, I believe the parachute requirement is for intentionally pitching up/down >= 30 degrees, but you mentioned 20 degrees at 3:40

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Right you are….says Google!

[@Schieve]

bout to start stalls and slow flight and this is very good knowledge to have especially the rudder part

[@trent_dyrsmid]

🙌

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

6:05 - except if you're flying a P-51. Believe it or not, when you stall the P-51 and it drops a wing, you pick it up with aileron, NOT rudder.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

I’ll keep that in mind for my next P-51 flight 🤣🤣🤣

[@deawhite6132]

Do you have any advice on how to overcome the instinct of using the yoke? I KNOW I should keep the aeilorans neutral and use my feet, yet the moment I enter the stall, my hands turns the yoke, can't help it. Stalls are such a weak spot for me!!! Any tips would be greatly appreciated

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Place one hand in the center of the yoke so that you have very little leverage to turn it like a steering wheel.

[@GrooveOn]

Hi Trent, thanks for the excellent video you created for on/off stalls as a newbie learning to fly I have flown about 9 hrs and on to the stalling exercises so found your explanation helpful ! At the moment I find that there is a lot to take in, therefore sometimes I do not have confidence on where to look at what gauges etc. For stalling are there any tips you can give me as a summary that will help me get into the repeated habit of performing the stalls? i.e. Pull back to initiate stall, wait for stall warning, push forward and simultaneously increase to full throttle, turn off carb heat, once stall warning goes, pull up nose and level flight. Its during this operation, I would like some help on what to 'scan' over on the dials etc? so I now I have not lost too much altitude. Thanks so mich in advance, I have subscribed and hope that when I get my solo completed, I will create a video on my YoutTube channel.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

All my best tips are in the video :)

[@Cherfield-D-Blessedman]

Thanks for the good information.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

You bet!

[@KingpinRable]

So when your left wing drops because of a stall, you supposed to apply a right/opposite rudder? That’s good to know. Can you make a video with details how slip landing works and when you would do a slip landing?

[@trent_dyrsmid]

I’ll put it on my list.

[@cqnnqn]

[@TheFineAuntie_Nisha]

Hello, I did stalls the other day and I feel like I push the throttle in to fast. When I do it. I lose track of my yolk and lose balance. Do I push the throttle in at a constant pace or really fast. I was descending too much I guess.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

The first goal with a stall is to break the stall by pushing the nose down and at the same time you were doing that you want to add maximum throttle as quickly as you can. This is because if this were to happen to you in the real world you’re going to be low to the ground and you want to make sure that you don’t crash into the ground.

[@TheFineAuntie_Nisha]

@@trent_dyrsmid ok you so much. And also the yolk was really hard to pull back while I was trying to get into the stall. My instructor kept saying pull back pull back. I’m like “I am lol but it wasn’t going up. It was my least favorite flight and I was kind of frustrated at the end.

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Sry to hear that

[@TheFineAuntie_Nisha]

I meant thank u sooo much at the beginning. Sorry.

[@zetareticulan321]

My CFI told me to retract the first notch of flaps immediately after pitching down and adding full power on a power off stall, then final notch of flaps after achieving a positive climb. Is that correct?

[@trent_dyrsmid]

👍

[@zetareticulan321]

@@trent_dyrsmid So is that a yes? 😀

[@trent_dyrsmid]

Yes. You can retract them immediately or you can wait until you have a positive rate of climb.

[@CeeJayC3903]

@@trent_dyrsmid It definitely does. It was 4-6 hours, now 1-2. The only thing that sucks, is that if the flight gets pushed at a later time, then all the numbers will be off. So gotta redo them.
