The Difference Between Coordinated, Slipping and Skidding Turns - For Student Pilots

[@aaron9296]

skidding turn was very nicely explained, thank you kindly.

Sure thing thanks for watching!

U are brilliant I’m not native English speaker and i been looking 2 videos of explanation hahaha and yours one I completely understand from the beginning ❤️

[@PartTimePilot]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so happy to help!

I keep trying to figure out though WHY the ball goes to the outside of the turn in a skid, and inside in a slip?

[@PartTimePilot]

In a skid the rate of turn is too great for the angle of bank and excessive centrifugal force causes the ball to move to the outside of the turn. Usually caused by too much rudder. In a slip the rate of turn is too slow for the angle of bank and the lack of centrifugal force causes the ball to move to the inside of the turn. Usually caused by not enough rudder when entering a turn

It is always great as usual but I have a question what do we need standard turn for or why pilot needs to make a whole circle in the air Thanks

[@bobbrandt6383]

One reason is if you inadvertently fly into bad weather or cloud cover you can make a 180 turn and get back to vfr conditions.

[@PartTimePilot]

Your examiner will make you do turns around a point during your checkride. If you need to divert or get lost you will want to circle in place without changing altitude while you regroup and plan your next steps in the cockpit. And ATC will ask you to perform 360s outside of the traffic pattern so that other traffic can clear before they call you in. So there are several reasons. Standard turns are a way for pilots to help out ATC as well as themselves. It’s just a way for you to easily know how long it will take you to turn around or do a 360. And if ATC asks you to perform a 360 they will assume you are doing a standard turn such that they expect you’ll be turning for 2 minutes

This video brought it all together for me. Thank you!

It's crazy to think that by trying to fly safely and coordinately, you can put yourself into imminent danger. For example on base to final, you put a bit of right rudder in to make your right turn at slow speed and potentially put yourself into a stall. When if you used opposite rudder, you would only lose height on final as if you were doing a forward slip. I think when you are training as a pilot you should keep feet evenly distributed on both rudders until you know and feel what you are doing before putting small inputs in and then watching the ball to see how it feels and acts
