3 SECRETS to Fix Your Steep Turns | How to Perform Steep Turns 

Thanks Rafael!

I agree

@@FeltonZackery-gm8yl thank you!

Thanks! It’s amazing how much easier it is when just looking outside

It was definitely an eye opener for me as well! Thanks Chuck! Good luck on that check ride!

I was taught to do that, but never really understood what it was doing to the aircraft this makes perfect sense, and the illustration with flying that T makes it even easier to understand. Thanks.

@@scottwarner7264 you’re welcome!

Nice video. One hint that I was taught is see where the horizon intersects with the instrument panel. If you keep the horizon at the same intersection, you will maintain altitude and ergo, airspeed

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

Thank you so much! Will do! I’m hoping to make a video on power on stalls very soon

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! That’s cool! I want to build the RV-15 when they release it. Let me know how much the G-meter works. And thanks for being a part of the community!

Thanks Molly! I appreciate that

Thanks!

Thanks Scott!

Thanks Chase! I appreciate that!

You’re very welcome! So glad I could be a part of your journey!

Thank you so much! That means a lot!

Thank you so much! Yeah, I have always loved the Cessna 172, but the Cherokee is such an awesome plane. I definitely wouldn’t mind owning one. Thanks for the comment! I’ll see you around!

Thank you so much for that! I hope to make many more!

Thanks Richard! Let me know if it helped.

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

Thanks Adam! I appreciate this comment! It really helps give me motivation! I’ll see you around!

Thanks Luis! That means a lot!

No problem! Thanks for watching!

You’re welcome! These AF teaches these tips because when you fly steep turns in formation, everyone has to know what they’re doing! Lol

Thanks John! Me too! That’s why I wanted to make this video

You’re welcome! Let me know if this helps you

Thanks Dave! And welcome to the community!

You’re welcome!

Thanks! Yeah, that definitely makes it harder

Thank you so much! Give it a try, let me know what you think.

You’re welcome! Good luck! It’s a great time!

You’re welcome!

Thanks! I’d be curious to hear that rudder trick. Lol, the prop was stuck to the bottom of my shoe

You’re welcome!

@@FreePilotTraining just passed my check ride and all of this was very helpful. Looking outside most of the time is really the key!

Thank you! I wish I could remember trig better lol

Thank you! Yes, that is the one thing I didn’t mention, but i definitely should have.

Can't wait to try the Air Force's "T Turn" manuever too!

@@lonhaenel3030 it’s a good one!

You’re welcome!

@@FreePilotTraining Have you done videos on slow flights?

Awesome! Let me know how it goes!

You’re welcome

Thank you!

Awesome! You’re welcome

Thank you! Yes, that is very important if you don’t want to descend

Awesome! So glad I could help!

You’re welcome!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

Congrats! That’s very exciting! Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you around!

That’s interesting. I feel like that wouldn’t be too bad

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! You might like my newest video on go-arounds

You’re welcome!

Thanks Chris! I appreciate you letting me know that this helped you! It’s great to get that feedback

You’re welcome!

This is a great question! Yes, overbanking tendencies are a real thing, BUT, if you neutralize the ailerons like I discussed in the video, the effects are so minimal in MOST airplanes that if you keep any opposite aileron in, your going to climb. Typically two or three quick corrections throughout the turn is all you need. You’ll notice I descended about 40 feet during my turns and I just used a little opposite aileron to correct that. Thank you for the comment!

That’s awesome! I’ve found that I remember things so much better when something funny is tied to it. Thanks for the comment!

You’re welcome! Let me know how it goes!

You’re welcome! You have a beautiful country! I lived in Porcia Italy for 3 years

@@FreePilotTraining I live in Palermo, Sicily, welcome back anytime!

@@Massimiliano-Fauci awesome! Thank you!

No problem! I’ve got a bunch already made, and I’m working on more all the time!

Thank you so much! Yes, there are. I understand why. It’s hard to mash in all the information that a student actually needs.

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks! Yeah, the trim trick isn’t my fav, but it does work

Thanks JB!

Thanks! That means a lot!

You’re welcome!

You’re welcome! I appreciate you joining me on the channel. I’ve heard good and bad things about A&P. If heard they have good training, but they kinda push you through. I don’t have any personal recommendations.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you!

Yeah, let me know how it goes

Thank you so much! This comment means a lot!

The reference on the horizon works well too. You just have to be careful about that because you technically need to roll out on a specific heading

You’re welcome! Yep, I filmed this north west of Little Rock! I work out of there once a month with the AF reserves.

@@FreePilotTraining I am doing my training out of KCXW Conway, the area looked very familiar. The C130's flying over the lake was an excellent shot. I enjoy seeing them flying low.

@@KevinSmithAviation You’re welcome! Nice! I love Conway. I go there all the time.

@@FreePilotTraining awesome, maybe we will meet up there sometime.

@@KevinSmithAviation PM me on Facebook. That would be fun

You’re welcome! Let me know if they help you!

You’re welcome!

Thanks! Yeah, the 172 is a great plane, but I love the Cherokee just as much. It is a very simple plane to fly

Thanks! The trim definitely does work, but I like to feel how many G’s I’m pulling. The trim on the ceiling definitely makes it tough too. Thanks for the comment!

To me, using trim during a steep turn feels a little bit like using the trim as a primary flight control, which of course it is not. Also, I find it to be easier to release back pressure when rolling out than putting in forward pressure.

@@erich930 my thoughts exactly

Your welcome Scotty! Let me know how it goes!

@@FreePilotTraining I am happy to say it went much better today. My first attempt was my best. I used my ailerons and bank to control my altitude. On my second attempt I over banked to 60 degrees once but corrected quickly and only lost about 50 feet. It was a bit windy but the over bank was on me. I need to improve at scanning inside. Your tips definitely helped! I will continue to review this video and chair fly. With a little more practice I am confident I will dial it in.

@@scotty-55YJ awesome! Thanks for the update!

Hi Josh, I passed my checkride and I am now a private pilot! I kept my steep turns within 25 feet. They were some of my best. Your channel is great and I learned a lot of what I needed to know and reinforced my learning by watching your videos. Thanks for continuing to share your knowledge. Learning never stops and as my examiner told me after passing "this is a license to learn". Thanks again for providing awesome free content!!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you! I appreciate the comment. I know that there is a lot of detail that may be difficult for students to replicate, but I think it helps give them a good understanding of what’s happening when they’re performing the maneuver.

@@FreePilotTraining you’re doing a great job. Keep at it.

@@whoanelly737-8 thanks!

Thank you!

@@FreePilotTraining I'm on my way to becoming a pilot. 16 hours and counting. Many of your videos help me to round out what I need to have a safe and successful ride. I nailed my last landing, I just have to work on the last 45° turn parallell to the TDZ when doing TGL and I just happen to find this video. Thank you for your service!

I would definitely know how to use the old school methods and practice them regularly, but Foreflight really is king

Thanks Chuck! That sounds like a lot of fun! It’s crazy how much the training has changed! I totally agree! You still have to continue to practice! And the Bible is no exception!

@@FreePilotTraining Hey Captain J, Thanks for your speedy reply and I'm glad you did because, There was just one other thing that I wanted to insert in my message to you about steep turns as we used to practice them is; When you really rack it over on the wing, and you got your fix on the ground established, When you go beyond 60°, I remember we would really power up and pull like the Dickens, And when you did hit your wake and here is where I wanted to make my point, When you nailed your wake with that stick back in your gut it was a pretty hard wack, Followed by heavy stick forces to get out of the turn on heading and rack it the other way. Getting smooth at that was really quite hard. (For me anyway)! My instructor knew that I was trying to delay working on spins and he suckered me right into it by letting me go across the top one time. W O W🙈 that really got my adrenaline going. And I firmly believe looking back on it he played with the rudder pedals and assisted me in going over lol (No Doubt) Back in that day too many guys were trying to buzz their girlfriend's houses and do tight turns overhead while waving at them, And just like you said you got to keep it coordinated and if you don't, Like one of my very close friends did his last air show doing that exact thing. And you're right, We did not use aileron, it was always elevator. It was a long time down the road before I started using aileron to compensate. One of the great things I've noticed that following your teaching curriculum is, that it makes us think about the past, and present and how we can pick up some great nuggets along the way. GOD Bless 📖🛐✈️

Thanks! Yes, I fly the C-130

Thank you! Yes, many POHs give you a speed

Yes, love it. Use opposite rudder as you’re rolling out of the turn as if it’s tied to the ailerons. This helps account for adverse yaw.
