Spread Aviation

Professional Instructors and Aerobatic competitors offer pilot training and a hefty dose of critical thinking about the “how” and “why” of flight.

    You referenced transition from a Decathlon - I'm doing basic acro training in one now. You mentioned stall behavior, but aside from the spin entries, didn't demo. Comparison? The landing approach looked Pitts'ish. Curious how difficult landing it is. No time in a Pitts, but have watched videos on landings and the rep is quite challenging to land. Is the Eagle the same, easier? Landing a Decathlon I didn't find too challenging.

  • @SpreadAviation
    @SpreadAviationАй бұрын

    If you have the opportunity, try flying the Decathlon from the backseat. That's the same basic sight-picture of the biplanes. Handling characteristics were benign in the slow speed. No real bad habits and it communicates edge of the envelope feel nicely. I typically fly a continuously curving approach in all the aerobatic ships as it affords runway visibility until as low as possible.

    If I can ask about the video. At the end in the rain. I haven't been to Florida in a while, but what I remember is it would downpour for 10-15 minutes and back to sunshine. Was it like that when you were in the rain? Also if can ask about the medical for a pilot license. Can a pilot be blind in one eye and still fly or would it be restricted? I was just wondering/thinking after I had a CRAO (Central retinal artery occlusion) a stroke in the eye. I didn't go blind in the eye, but had vision loss and my vision is slowly improving. I hope the doctors found the culprit that caused it and fixed it so it doesn't happen again, fingers crossed.

  • @SpreadAviation
    @SpreadAviation3 ай бұрын

    This was a band of storms that passed through and it rained for about 2 hours with winds up to 30 knots. Definitely not the typical Florida afternoon rain. As far as the blind in one eye, consult an AME (but do not apply for a medical yet) about what would be required for a Statement of Demonstrated Ability (SODA).

    There’s no such thing as an investment in new aircraft… lol.. nice try sales guy.. even the oldest classic airframes from generations gone by… P-51 and so on do not necessarily gain in value… its a vehicle… its on a descending scale as to initial purchase

  • @EllipsisAircraft
    @EllipsisAircraft5 ай бұрын

    P-51s were $250k-$500k in the early 2000's. Now they are $2M. That is 400-800% return in around 25 years. Inflation was about 70% since 2000. Appreciation of popular WWII aircraft seems to be around 10% annual, after inflation. Which should just about cover fixed and operating expenses. If you fly airshows or instruct under a business name. These are tax write offs. Depreciation is favorable for business-owned working aircraft. And these are vastly better investments in money, time and experience than anything Ferrari or Lamborghini has built in the last 20 years. (Excl. Enzo).

  • @SpreadAviation
    @SpreadAviation10 ай бұрын

    It requires an annual inspection unless it’s used for commercial operation. Then it would need an inspection every 100 hours of tach time. Most operators do an oil change every 50 hours. I do a nut and bolt check every 10 hours or 5 Acro flights. And yes during aerobatic flight the throttle is basically binary. On or off.
