Spinning a Bonanza with Shannon UPRT 1

FlyWire puts Shannon through the first ride in the Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Course (UPRT). Most of this is part of the CFI Spin Course.

FlyWire is about exploring flight and the freedom this incredible experience brings us on a personal level. Flying has always captured the imagination and excitement of living life to its fullest. Hi, I'm Scott Perdue. In a former life I flew the F-4 and F-15E, more recently I retired from a major airline. I've written for several aviation magazines over the years, was a consultant for RAND, the USAF, Navy, NASA as well as few others, wrote a military thriller- 'Pale Moon Rising' (still on Kindle). But mostly I like flying, or teaching flying. Some of the most fun I had was with Tom Gresham on a TV show called 'Wings to Adventure". We flew lots of different airplanes all over the country. Now with FlyWire I want to showcase the fun in flying, share the joy and freedom of flight and explore the world with you. Make sure you subscribe if you want to go along for the ride!

What a great instructor both in terms of explanation, testing for understanding, and always patient.

[@Loglakeliving]

I like how Shannon stopped and made you restate and confirm the instructions. That’s great techniques!

[@utubeaccess7]

She's a natural, very intelligent and an intuitive pilot. Nice work both of you.

[@FlyWirescottperdue]

Yes indeed!

[@utubeaccess7]

@@FlyWirescottperdue BTW, after hours and hours of ground training and hundreds of references to "spin recovery", it is no surprise that she was confused when you said 'recover'. 16:19 - You meant dive recovery but she would obviously be thinking 'spin recovery'. And she understood that she didn't understand your instructions even before the maneuver. Smart girl. She knows exactly what she is talking about.

[@JMHTruck32005]

I love your calm voice...Makes for a good learning environment.

[@TomPauls007]

I'm a beginner. I'll just watch THEM spin 'er up, thank you very much!!!

[@tonym3675]

This was scary to watch. Can't imagine really doing it. But Scott was so calm with it all and thus, the student was able to focus everything on his instruction. Man I wish I lived close to Scott. I'd love to learn to fly from him.

[@Parr4theCourse]

Scott, good job on calmly teaching and explaining everything, great refresher as well . . .

[@joenaylor34]

It’s about 40 years since I first entered a spin with my flight instructor in a Cessna 152 and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Never had a clue an airplane could do anything like that.

[@nagaviper1169]

Brings back memories with my flight instructor. Good times, great instructor.

[@ralphatwell9769]

This guy is a great instructor...So calm...

[@stevereynolds1707]

Scott, This may be my favorite video so far. As a new 54 y/o pilot yet do do spin training I will watch this one many times. What a great opportunity for Shannon to train with you in your beautiful Bonanza. Well done sir!

[@FlyWirescottperdue]

Thanks Steve!

[@MichaelLloyd]

"It's a little disconcerting staring right down to the ground" That's exactly how I felt when did spin training in a C150 Aerobat. We pitched up drastically and the instructor quickly introduced rudder. The departure was abrupt and very disconcerting. It's worthwhile training. It made me much more aware of what I was doing in the pattern, especially the base to final turn.

[@arlenbell4376]

I loved flying the 150 Aerobat and liked full power climbing stalls - just pull the nose up until it stalled and started a really nice spin!

[@davidc5657]

That's a fun video. Great job Shannon! Love the honest reaction and giggle "I'm not ready" at 12 min! Reminded my of my discovery flight thirty something years ago in an aerobat 150 when I asked something like "How much bank can we handle" and my 'old school' instructor said "sit on your hands" and showed me a 3 turn spin. Got me hooked fast! Thanks for sharing the videos Scott.

[@nancychace8619]

Very good lesson. Lol - you guys reminded me of when once, many years ago, my mom courageously went up with me in a little taildragger. I took her up over the hills to see the old family "homestead". I rolled into a steep turn so she could see the ranch and experience the plane. Suddenly I heard her exclaim - NANCY - IF YOU DON'T STRAIGHTEN THIS THING OUT, I'M GOING TO THROW UP! Lol! Fun times. She was a good trooper 😀

[@FlyWirescottperdue]

Great story, thanks for sharing!

[@cmcer1995]

I like how Shannon took a deep breath just before the "let go," she's a very brave young woman and she really did well pushing through these maneuvers. It is wonderful to have a great teacher while performing these recoveries.

[@Aero_Medic]

Great job Shannon and Scott. Great instruction and communication in the cockpit. The video footage is great to see what it looks like out the window..with that ground rushing at you. I’m a 1hour solo pilot and have so much appreciation for these videos emphasising URPT and maintaining safe manoeuvring speeds . 👍

Excellent instruction and what a wonderful student!

[@hosegooseman5]

Great stuff. Nicely done both of you. Thanks for sharing !!!

[@mikeratcliff1446]

[@mazerat4q2]

Great demo. Rudder on the high wing. Every pilot should be able to do this.

[@mpschaefer1]

You have a great teaching style Mr Perdue!

[@SVSky]

Upset recovery and aerobatics do make you so much better as a pilot. Fall out of the top of a loop or Immellman? You're in spin recovery! Love the calm instructional manner.

[@wayneco]

Was just doing stall recovery with my instructor this week, so timely for me your posting of this video. We are in a C172S, not a Bonanza, but didn’t seem any different in terms of the process. Watching along with the video I felt like a game show contestant, shouting “right rudder!” to the screen a lot. Really enjoying the videos,

[@thunderbolt513]

Hi Scott. That's what I'd call " flying boss" on the job. Nice to see how cool,yet concentrated, when you know the business "eyes wide shut"👍😁

[@Andre.D550]

Thanks for sharing this video Scott. It brought back vivid memories of my training 50 years ago in C150/172s at the Oribi airfield in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa 😎

[@randalljames1]

I really appreciated my instructor letting me feel those break points... so many rush on through and you never get the feel of the plane and understand how little it takes to actually fix the problem... or how little input it can take to get in trouble.... First spins are a real reality check as a student pilot...

[@Highballer44]

I'm glad I had a tough and through Instructor like yourself when I trained for my Private Pilot's Cert. it helped me a lot during real life situations. Good Video

[@Joe_Not_A_Fed]

Oh man...I want to do that so bad. Thanks to the both of you. Really good and thoughtful questions from Shannon...and stellar calm, clear instruction from Scott. Brilliant lesson.

[@BostonHarborLight]

I love Mr. Perdue's calm demeanor and interactive dialog with his student throughout this outstanding instructional video - reminds me of my primary flight instructor - a retired USAF officer too.

[@astircalix4126]

I'm a former flight instructor , with a military background. Thumbs up the way you let your student learn. One think she Will remember is to use rudder instead of ailerons. This is crucial to recover from an unintentional pitch up attitude. In the early 90's Boeing and Airbus launched the Upset Recovery Training focused in undesired pitch up /down excursions. This is the only way to train pilots to cope with situations were the lack of rudder and stick were the main cause of accidents. Well done Scott!

[@noyfub]

Excellent Video.

[@texasman123]

Great lesson from a great instructor.

[@Mr4pete]

You certainly had me riveted to the screen Scott, I had to wonder, watching that young lady, how I would have handled it, feeling the aircraft drop from under you and pointed straight at the ground the way it was, WOW!! I think this stall recovery training using rudder recovery should be mandatory for all students, even the established pilots. Watching that young lady make an instinctive grab for the yoke as to turn the wheel of a car was especially interesting. Good job. Pete, Australia.

[@johnschreiber1574]

Scott, you are way better in the airplane, than in the hangar! I loved the genuine uncertainty demonstrated by your student. From another's comment; "she (Shannon) understood that she didn't understand" and communicated it. My gender does not do that often enough. Every airplane should have the "ideal" spin recovery technique placarded.

[@JohnWLewis]

That’s VERY good instruction, Scott! Having been trained by excellent RAF instructors to recover from a fully developed spin in a T21 Sedbergh glider at age 16 certainly helped me in my 40s during PPL training. However, in the steep, 60 degree, turns, I was taught much faster eyes, scanning rapidly and repeatedly: in the direction of turn, to the horizon ahead, and the instruments, making corrections accordingly without interrupting the scan. But best of all was your slow flight training. I recall during briefing for the first flight during aerobatics trainings (not the first lesson, that was on the ground reviewing the law and weight and balance!) being told: we’re going to fly slower and slower and steeper and steeper until the aircraft falls out of the sky. Refamiliarising my feet with their job was a lot of fun! I could go on!! ... later, during instrument training, recovering from unusual attitudes, a very experienced ex-RAF pilot (Jet Provost, Hunter, Lightning) instinctively, captured it superbly: “WITH THE BALL IN THE MIDDLE, LEVEL THE WINGS!”. Thank you for sharing this!

[@chuckcampbell3927]

Scott, it's been awhile since we had a word. The cancer surgery was tough but the convalescence has been made easier by these great videos that you do and this one was no exception. Shannon will do well after the duel that you have you have given her. You can see she's willing to ask the questions if she has a flag pop up in her mind and that's the kind of student I always liked. God bless my friend 🛫🛬📖🙏

[@FlyWirescottperdue]

Thanks Chuck!

[@MalcolmRuthven]

When I was training for my PPL way back in the late 1950s, they didn't teach spins. After I got my PPL somewhere I read about spins and how to recover, so I took the club 7AC Champ up, spun it and recovered, no problem. Same thing with Cessna 140s, no problem. I spun those two types of planes many times, just for fun. As I advanced to Mooneys and Bonanzas, they weren't approved for spins so I stopped doing them. Spins sure were fun though.

[@alandaters8547]

Super video! Now I know how much I missed in my basic training.

[@chrisalster7680]

50 years ago when I was getting my private pilot license I was required to put the plane into a spin and recover six times. Today they do not do that. It is a real shame. Today 50 percent of people killed are killed from spins at low altitudes.. Years later teaching my girlfriend to fly in my Piper Warrior I was surprised to find that with the Warrior if you just released all the controls before the first turn, it would pop itself out of the spin on its own. In my mind, the Piper Warrior which was 160 HP, and its big brother, the 180 HP Archer are the safest General Aviation planes out there for low time pilots.

[@johncoleman4084]

Great job!

[@samuelpope7798]

I'm not a real pilot yet. But Idle, Neutral, Aft, Recover is amazing in MSFS2020! Easily recovers from fully developed spin in every single engine GA aircraft I have with airspeed remaining below caution speed. Finally I can recover from spins with a minimal altitude loss and the wings still attached! Thanks FlyWire!

[@robertthrailkill1368]

Excellent presentation

[@lowellyates7404]

As a mechanic I pulled a Bonanza out of woods 1/2 mile from the end if the of the runway for the FAA. The flight instructor went off the reservation and was showing the owner/pilot how to turn back to the runway after an engine out. Needless to say low airspeed plus steep bank. what else can I say. They spun it and it the ground at an inverted angle. The airspeed needle slap was over 299 knots. Nice to see a qualified CFI here.

[@MsLisaN]

Well done!

[@brimopm]

Excellent training! As a 30+yr airline pilot, we do the same however it's broken down into "Push, Roll, Power, Stabilize". Similar concept in that the wing has to start flying before any normal control inputs can made. The demo to illustrate the hands-off recovery proves how stable most aircraft are. Love the Bonanza!

For us low hour newbs, this is awesome stuff. It is comforting the way you broke it down: Solve the spin. Then solve the dive. Then reach for the barf bag. :)

[@e.danielarey5118]

Brings back memories. First time you see the ground spinning straight in front of you is a moment burned into memory. Neutral aileron. Determine spin. Opposite rubber. Stop spin. Neutral rudder. Recover. Great memories. And videos don't do this moment justice. Remember in one stall exercise she burned 1400+ feet. That's a 140 story drop in 3 seconds! Fun times!

[@darrenhillman8396]

Amazing to watch and a bit scary at the same time. But as a series of recovery techniques, they could well save your life. I’m sure Shannon is benefiting greatly from your patient instruction, even if she has her eyes closed when that gorgeous Bonanza of yours was pointing at the green stuff! Best wishes from across the pond! 🇬🇧
