The Ultimate Tutorial on Steep Spirals: Learn from the Experts

In this video, we'll be exploring the basics of steep spirals, a critical maneuver for commercial pilots. We'll discuss why this maneuver is important and its purpose in demonstrating the airplane's stall characteristics and recovery ability. We'll also highlight the safety considerations for performing steep spirals, including altitude requirements and proper control inputs. New pilots will gain an understanding of the physical demands of the maneuver, including the potential for high G-forces, and the importance of proper G-tolerance training. Join us for a comprehensive overview of the basics of steep spirals, an essential part of any commercial pilot's training.

You state that "clearing the engine" is an ACS requirement. I don't see that listed anywhere in the ACS definition of knowledge, risk management, or skills for this maneuver. Am I missing something? Good video, just wanting to clarify this one question.

[@vincelam1998]

Agreed. It's not in the ACS.

[@holl0918]

60deg of bank in a LEVEL turn requires 2gs and increases stall speed. In a descending turn, you're still at 1g and no stall speed increase. Stall speed increases with load factor, not bank angle.

[@IRAMightyPirate]

Beat me to it. Big mistake by the video makers confusing speed with angle of attack.

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

You guys have been putting out some good content lately. . .it just so happens it's the same content I've been putting out lately lol 😂 I'll put a video out and the following week you'll put one out on the same thing. Or you'll put a video out on something I have scheduled to go out the next week. My steep spiral video is scheduled for Monday haha. . .I am glad to see that both of our videos' messaging has been fairly consistent across the board though 🙌🏻

yours has better scenery.

How do you pick your loot up n the archer? And make the decision to start the turn. Thanks for the videos they have been amazing!!

[@Cosme422]

The music is killing me! Sorry it’s hard to watch any video of anyone explaining anything with music playing in the background. A message to the video editor. None of these videos should ever have music. These are not those type of videos. Thank you.

[@ahmadsamadzai8255]

I agree. I can't understand for the life of me why people put music on their videos. Ruining an otherwise very good content.

[@Bokosuka-yl7eq]

Bro you are a pilot, you should not be simply distracted by just music in the background

[@LouCosmeRC-ov2ol]

@@Bokosuka-yl7eq I’m also a professional video editor contractor for various TV stations and know that this video should not have music. lol

[@Bokosuka-yl7eq]

@@LouCosmeRC-ov2ol shush it chawg. If you can’t watch a video without expecting a bit of noise in the background, let alone on a plane, you’re dad should’ve left you on your mums back🤓

[@ahmadsamadzai8255]

@Bokosuka-yl7eq it's not just a distraction. It's annoying and in my humble opinion it ruins the content.

[@JohnCaptainAmericanAirlines]

At 12 minute mark of video she states ACS requires clearing the engine. Please respond with actual ACS reference to this otherwise false statement.

[@Me37368]

It’s not in acs but AFH says it’s a good idea to do that

[@user-fq3kw2cm3i]

you aren't pulling 2Gs in a 60 degree descending turn

[@briansantana3157]

Yup Even flight instructors seem to misunderstand that it’s not bank angle that increases G, it’s the associated load factor that you need to maintain level flight that pulls you down.

[@kkranghkar]

Yes you are, after you’re stable in this very long turn with constant airspeed. If you are pulling less than 2G, the airspeed will keep increasing. Put another way: it takes 1G to do a 60° turn, it takes another 1G to not accelerate downwards. It’s true for a short duration 60 degree turn you have a few seconds to do a decent turn without loading up before the airspeed runs away from you. But once you stabilize a long 60° turn it’s the same 2G.

[@nateliebherr558]

I thought the video was good but lose the annoying and redundant music in the background it's just a distraction and makes the video quality far less. No need for music in training videos
