Best Slips vs Skids Explanation for Flight Training or Learning to Fly - InTheHangar 

This lesson needs way more views. This could save lives

As a Cropduster flying extremely low to the ground in extremely heavy airplanes usually no more than 300 feet flying under powerlines at 180 mphAnd doing over 300-600 wing over hammerhead turns a day , also being an Aerobatic competition pilot ,an ex CFI That has trained 38 pilots from start to finish how to fly ,with close to 10,000 hours now ,2000 hours as a Flight instructor my number one piece of advice is take basic aerobatic training which includes advanced spin recovery and emergency manoeuvring training is the single greatest thing that you will ever do for yourself as a pilot !! the moment that airplane reaches a 90° bank angle you need to know to be pushing forward on the controls and be very comfortable flying in the inverted world! it’s just like when the neighbours dog runs in front of you your natural reaction is to hit the brake pedal in an airplane your natural reaction is to pull back on the stick which is a death sentence once you become inverted you need to be trained enough to know that you need to be pushing forward on the stick and continue the roll back to level and you have a chance to recover from this low level spin recovery. there’s no way I can Express to you the importance of basic aerobatic training ! it’s not a waste of money it’s just like learning to drive your car sliding around in the parking lot on ice ,if you don’t do that there’s no way you’re ready for it out on the roads ! same thing in an airplane you need to go exposure self to these inverted conditions to be comfortable with it to give yourself a fighting chance if anything ever goes Wrong close to the ground , you have the tools to give yourself a chance to survive!!!

This visual REALLY helped me understand the difference between a slip and a skid. So far, I've only read about it. This was seriously a light bulb moment! 💡💡

Every student pilot needs to watch this video !! I've been flying for years and this is the best slip/skid explanation I've ever seen.

Wow! Joe Casey is an amazing instructor. He explains things in such a light bulb way. Thank you so much.

10:20 when you turn to the left, it is the right aileron that goes down, not the left. So the right wing would have the higher AoA.

The best explanation on this. Let the man finish his full point/expansión then ask questions, he has very valuable information, he needs to finish he's sentences, he was interrupted a few times. Thank You for the video.

Best explanation of slips vs skids I’ve seen. Thanks! I learned tonight, and that’s a good thing!

this DPE just gave the best explanation of a Slip and Skid i've ever heard! we need him doing more videos!

3:34 that is where the actual explanation starts

I am on my way to finish my ATPL theory and as you can imagine I have watched thousands of videos on RU-vid... And I can say that this one is by far the clearest, most explicative video I have found. Thank you very much, I will be seeing you much more often from now on

I’ve had my PPL for 1.5 years now and that’s the first I’m hearing anything about a “skid”. That’s scary! The learning never ends. Great video. Thank you.

Haven’t taken my first lesson yet but I think this video has already saved my life. Cheers guys!

you guys need to edit or silence the DPE at 10.30 at the point where he says the left aileron goes down when you bank to to left. that is not correct but the problem is alot of beginner or students watching this. that will be very confusing to them and misleading.

Fantastic explanation! Thanks!

GREAT discussion! Well explained by Joe!

That is by far the best demonstration I've seen. I'm headed to the dollar store tomorrow morning.

Very good explanation! Great to have out there to keep us safe.

Very well done. I especially liked the visual aid.

I know this is years late, but I learned something really valuable here, and more importantly, I learned how I can teach it to my future students to keep them same. Thank you so much, I've never heard a more clear explanation of slips vs skids and how to apply it to flying more safely.

Very clear explanation , thanks!

This is great. I really appreciate you posting this and going over it.

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!

Super clear. Interviewer asking the right questions. Excellent!

Excellent explanation and illustration of this situation.

Excellent explanation. Thanks!

Thanks for the awesome explanation!

Great video. The best explanation of skids and slips I’ve heard!

absolutely perfect explanation.

Very useful and very visually. Thank you.

Awesome visual demonstrations accompanied by verbal descriptions. Best I've seen and heard on this subject!

This instructor is wonderfully clear, a natural teacher!!! A thousand thumbs up, this is a save!!!!

Very good explanation. I definitely learned something. Thank you !!!

Thank you so much as this really illustrates the differences and the significance of those differences.

Slips are a great tool, especially for short fields with approach obstacles. I've done them with 40 flaps and full rudder deflection in a 182. A friend said that full flap slips are prohibited; however, I showed him in the POH that "not recommended" does not mean "prohibited". You just need to watch speed as getting too slow in this condition can disrupt airflow enough to stall the elevator.

Excellent video and explanation of slipping, skidding and the difference between - thank you for creating and posting this!!

Good video, good explanation, good refresher. Thanks.

Excellent discussion. Thanks.

Excellent content. I left here with a lot of new knowledge. Thanks.

That was the best explanation I’ve ever heard or that I’ve seen. I haven’t ever properly understood those concepts. Thank you!!

Very good explanation of an important concept - thank you, Joe. - Martin

Excellent video - conversation - explanation. Thank you so so much!

Excellent presentation

Excellent!!! Best explanation by far I've heard.

Fantastic video! That base to final turn can kill you when you are trying to save the approach. Never go beyond a standard rate turn in the pattern. Don't be afraid to go around.

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Great video and explanation.

Great video. Well explained!

Excellent video. Thanks.

An awesome explanation. Smoothly got my understanding back on track just the way a SKID does to the aircraft.

This is the best explanation of this topic. Very good

Great presentation, thank you so much!

Nice. You always have excellent videos. Very professional. Great job

Thank you for all of this free information. It helps A TON as a student

I'm an old pilot who is retaking my license after 30 years. This was a great refresher in slips and skids. When I was a younger lad, we covered and practiced side slips on approach, as well as climbing to high altitude and putting the airplane into a spin, with recovery. I don't recall seeing anywhere on my new course that it covers any of those any more. I'll have to ask my instructor.

Agreeing with the many others who said this is the best explanation we've heard and seen on this topic! Thank you!

Hugely helpful. Thanks!!!

Wow! This was the best explanation of slip and a skid.

Great explanation. I learned a bunch in this video, thank you.

Amazing explanation

Thanks for this really clear explanation.

Awesome explanation of the difference between a skid and a slip. Using the model makes it very easy to understand.

That was really useful! I understand slips but no one has ever explained the slip and the risks so well. Thank you.

The best explanation of a slip skid I ever heard. Thank you.

New subscriber and student pilot.... this is probably one of my favorite discussions and definitely helps me understand the slip and skid differences. Love the content you're are putting out.

I never thought of it this way. Very very nice, and important!

Super useful, will definitely remember due to the visuals provided. I’ve only ever read about slips and skids

Great episode, very informative.

Great visual explanation. Helped me understand what was going on. Thanks

awesome explanation of why the stall occurs. this guy is a great teacher

Man that is a golden explanation

Awesome explanation

Almost 15,000 hours and still good explanation’s like this can be a great review on what to watch out for.

Awesome, thank you for the clear explanations. Not that I didn’t hear it before, but the detailed explanation combined with questions during that explanation. It certainly Enhanced it.

Seemed like Joe was speaking directly to me at 12:53. Getting my tail wheel endorsement currently and had this exact situation on my turn to base today. Moderate tailwind, added left rudder right aileron and skidded onto final. It wasn’t a very hard skid but definitely something that I don’t want to happen again.

Awesome video! I've been looking for more info on the differences between a Slip and Skid now I know the difference. and learning about Spins is always good to learn about.

learnt so much from the 15 off mins as opposed to being in ground school for over an hour. Thank you guys

This is one of those one in a million videos. I have it saved and watch it every few months because it’s that good.

As a new older pilot, I enjoyed learning from your knowledge base. Keep up the good work!

Extremely useful video!Thank YOU!

Excellent instruction explained clearly , perfectly understandable ...

This is a clean-n-simple example of "how to" explain an important element in stall/spin awareness for CFI applicants. Very informative!

Just watched it again for like the 5th time and it still gives me the lightbulb moment. Thanks again for the wonderful explanation.

Wow - Really appreciate the clear articulation with your $2 aid. A life saver video.

This was the best explanation I've seen. Also a necessary, but frightening, reminder about the result of a traffic pattern stall spin.

Excellent! Great teacher. Thanks

Thanks, this is the first video where I finally get the difference between slip and skid!

great job explaining thanks

thank you so much for this awesome explanation!

This is the best explanation of this I've ever seen.

As a gliding instructor this was great to watch.

This is so much better than reading it. Thank you for the effort and explanation.

Great explanation , Mr Casey ! Regards from Brazil, South America!

A great lesson to be had in this video. As an instructor I will advise students to watch with great interest...

I've never understood the dynamics and differences behind slips and skids and the nature of the spins this well before watching this. This guy is an eloquent instructor. Thank you.

Just now becoming confident with slips. This explanation is gold.

Thank you so much for this! Saved me from a huge miss understanding on the subject.

I agree with most of the comments. Best explanation of Slips vs Skids I have seen, and it helped me tons.

I really enjoy the format you create your shows in and the excellent information . keep it up. 👍

Every GA pilot should watch this every couple of months!
