6:39 Stall training starts Thank you so much for this video! 🙏 😃

Awesome to see you start off as a sim-pilot and now do it real-life!

Dude no lie first time + u didn’t spin out when it dip left, your a very brave soul I salute to u my friend

I had a similar violent wing drop while practicing full stalls in the Tomahawk, and am grateful that I had because the instructor taught me something that I think he would not have taught me if not. I had already done several "approach to stall" where you basically increase the angle of attack until the stall warning sounds and keep increasing it until the buffet starts, then recover. But I had done few full stalls, where you keep increasing the angle of attack until the airplane basically stops flying and the nose drops by itself against your commands to pull fully back. The previous instances had gone smooth. In this one however the wing dropped violently as we saw in the video, but the nose initially didn't drop so I didn't realize that we had already stalled and I instinctively tried to level the wings with the ailerons. It was not working and the instructor IMMEDIATELY punched the yoke forward by hitting it in the center of they yoke with the open palm of his hand. We went to about zero G, the ailerons then responded as expected and I completed the recovery. I had not realized yet that something had gone wrong, until the instructor looks directly into my eyes with a very serious face and in a grave voice tells me "DO - NOT - DO - THAT - AGAIN - EVER" and I was like what? What did I do? Then he went on to explain how the ailerons don't work as expected when the wing is stalled, and how that can induce a spin very easily. And explained to me that when an airplane stalls doesn't matter what it does, you reduce the angle of attack FIRST, and only then (after the stall warning stops) you can take care of anything else including leveling the wings. The airplane is just out of control when stalled so you need to regain control FIRST (unstall the wing). I know that there are persons (pilots, instructors) out there that will say that you can still control roll in a stall, just with the rudder instead of the ailerons. And they are right, but it is a risk. A bit of undercontrol or overcontrol with the rudder while the plane is stalling asymmetrically can easily put you into a spin too.

Can't wait to watch this. Im loving the PPL vids. Keep up the hard work and I'm sure you will have your PPL in no time at all! :D

I hope so! Not far off now!

Holy shit. You've come so far my dude. Big respect 😲

Good work, always look forward to your videos.

Loving these videos. Keep up the good work Joss!

Thanks, will do!

Amazing!!

I will add to HASELL also check for possible emergency landing area. Maybe overcautious, but will feel more comfortable to know that if something will go wrong I am not in the forest or at the sea.

I was taught The 5 S's for that: Size - Surface - Shape - Slope - Surround [ as in what is surrounding the area of the prospective landing site? ]

great

Just excellent - great landing too, didn't look anything like first time! What influence do you think your sim flying might have had so far!

Yeah I'd done one or two landings in other lessons before this one so it definitely wasn't my first. But your perspective is a lot different landing on a smaller runway compared to a larger one and that can trick you into thinking your higher or lower than you actually are.

👍👍

Josh is active 5:23 ..looked kinda choppy @ low alt.. Seems that the Tomahawk vs. Cessna 172 in a stall config has a huge difference in roll characteristics.. I should of looked it up ... I will Never forget my dad telling me about having to stall a 727 on purpose... he told me that it was the most violent act he was ever involved in... You are learning man...👍

Might be a dumb question, but what exactly does the "U/S" on the stickers stand for? As it is blocking the view of the instruments, I'm guessing it's similar to INOP, right?

Yep exactly. U/S = Unservicable... not working

3:40 fuel pump on with the mixture full rich doesnt already prime the engine what do i miss here?

@Doofer911

So the Mixture set to Rich just allows the maximum flow of fuel into the engine when it's running, it's essentially controlling how much fuel gets into the engine, but it's not forcing it into the engine if that makes sense. This is why we run the fuel pump briefly. This pushes a little bit of fuel forward into the fuel lines so that when you start cranking the engine during start up, the mechanics of the pistons moving will draw in fuel which has been pushed into the fuel lines by the fuel pump. Once the engine fires, then it will draw more fuel into the engine and become a self-sustaining reaction.

Doofer911 hi there , I know for example the C172SP Skyhawk (fuel injected) that priming done by advancing the mixture to rich (from idle cutoff) while the auxiliary fuel pump turned on. I guess it’s a different system.

The relationship between pitch and throttle sometimes competes with instinct I found! Hope it is going to plan!

Yeah it can be tough to grasp at first. Plus you also have the age old debate when landing a plane.... Pitch for Speed, Power for Rate of Descent.... OR.... Pitch for rate of descent, Power for speed.

Stalls are practically self-correcting if you do nothing. Throw a paper aeroplane and you can see it stall and recover.

That sounds good until you rip the plane apart with aero forces, and take into account the fact that a lot of stalls happen during take off

@jamescaley9942

@@HieronymousLex A stall is releasing the aerodynamic load and saves you breaking the aircraft which is worse. I don't understand why so many stalls happen after take off unless the pilot does something silly and/or fails to follow training. However, I guess they do happen even with experienced pilots.
