Passed mine on the 22nd! Congrats man!

This channel is my savior, my messiah, the ooga to my booga. Got me through PPL, IFR, and now i'm using it for my commercial training. I cannot express how much this channel has helped me understand concepts. THANK YOU!!!!

KZbin doesn't show dislikes anymore lol

just passed my instrument checkride an hour ago, you helped a lot. thank you! and now on to commercial.

[@jaheemfingal7475]

Please more commerical maneuvers! Just started my commerical and would love for you to make content about it. I watched all of your videos and tiktoks while doing my instrument rating!

[@joeblowjohndoe206]

It helped so much to hear it explained on the ground. Thanks

[@gonetoearth2588]

I am planning to start my training for my commercial ticket. I was wondering if you had a course going over all these maneuvers since the production of this video so good. Your channel is excellent and I tend to watch every video you post! Keep up the great work

[@flightinsight9111]

Soon! No concrete plans yet but will keep you all up to date.

[@downc212]

@@flightinsight9111 A flight maneuvers course would be cool.

Awesome stuff! Another one for the "Required Viewing" list for my students.

[@young_pilot_rishi]

Great video and animation. Thanks

This was a beautiful representation of what to expect visually! Thank you for your content. -Cheers

Would you please make a video on Lazy eights. Thank you for all the great videos you've been making.

What is the purpose of the Chandelle? Thanks for the tutorial. :)

[@Ezel21love]

wow released just 2 weeks before my Commercial Checkride : )

[@nicksaffari4412]

good luck!

[@timothywhite9880]

Small nitpick here-- at 2:55, we see the plane starting with a clearing turn to the right. Not necessarily bad, but just remember with right of way rules per 91.113, you will be overtaken on the right in most scenarios. If you've been flying straight and level for awhile, a quick turn to the right could be a problem if you're being overtaken.

[@mianatwood]

You are supposed to look before you make a turn in any direction!

[@jaydubs679]

haven't flown in 20 yrs. commercial with instrument/multi. 325+ hrs and afraid it's going to take me forever to get certified again

[@jimjernigan3670]

One thing I'd like to see in discussion of all required maneuvers is what real-world application they have. For example, would you use a chandelle as an emergency maneuver to avoid traffic or terrain? Or is it just a nifty way to reverse direction while trading airspeed for altitude?

[@pisymbol]

Pretend there is a mountain coming toward you. This is what the Chantelle is for.

[@trows-bridgedale-brush2963]

The chandelle was originally a maneuver for dogfighting in the early days of aviation. The reason it's tested on is mostly to show confidence and supreme control of the aircraft. Controlling at minimum speed, remaining coordinated, etc. like many maneuvers, there is little real world application for it.

[@GZA036]

Trying to give all the commercial maneuvers some mythical application is a bunch of nonsense. The purpose of the maneuvers is to demonstrate mastery of airplane control, planning, smoothness, coordination...

[@saxynik]

We don’t have mountains in north Texas. Am I supposed to use a cloud as a 90 degree reference? Why not reference the DG?

[@avraham6132]

Great videos on this channel, and really having trouble with this one. The procedure requests the pilot to enter a bank turn progressing to a climbing turn, pulling back on the stick gradually and kicking in rudder while bringing the airspeed back to just above the stall. Correct or incorrect? How is this flight attitude not an open invitation to a stall spin outcome? A bit too much back pressure close to the stall with the rudder kicked in and the aircraft is going incipient... ???

[@GZA036]

Only one reference point is needed. Start with the point directly off of one wingtip, end with the point at the opposite wingtip. It's the same with Lazy 8's btw. You don't need to pick 5 points... you need ONE. You should be able to tell when you are 45 & 90 degrees from a single reference point. And stop using instruments, these are VFR maneuvers. You can be much more precise using a gigantic panoramic natural horizon for attitude and the seat of your pants feeling for coordination.

[@L8rCloud]

You increase the throttle to climb but why do you bleed off the speed to practically stalling only to increase the speed to cruising immediate after this, why not just maintain your cruising speed..?

[@xanderw1460]

The point is to make the smallest radius possible turn. I think they also call it a canyon turn for that reason. The lower the airspeed the tighter the turn radius.

[@aviatorcrafty102]

Got my commercial certificate in a glider last month, glad I didn’t have to do this haha

[@isaacfriedman1698]

This is the easiest commercial maneuver in a single engine.....

[@mianatwood]

Lol I have 264 hrs but boy o boy my rudder skills are bad lol

[@JamesMiller-q9w]

Long retired Flight Instructor. This " so called" Maneuver for a Commercial would get you promptly fired if ever really flying for hire. To understand a Chandell, it was a WWII maneuver Fighter Pilots would fly over the runway pullup in to downwind, just above stall, drop their gear and land. But who tells you that as then the Maneuver would make too much sense....

[@semidhimmi3184]

So in theory you would use this in an emergency where you are coming from upwind and need to check a potential off-field landing area before landing? Or a way of doing a missed approach/go around when time is limited?

[@rudyberkvens-be]

What’s special about this climbing turn? Why does it even hava a name?

[@airwipe1639]

Imagine you’re going down a valley, fjord, etc. you realize you don’t have enough altitude to clear a mountain so you pop a steep 180 climb, look back, see that it’s still too high, do another 180 steep climb. Now you’re pointed right at the mountain and you’re above it.
