@@TheFinerPoints I hate to disagree, but a horse has a mind of its own, and they don't comply with your commands when you don't want to. Flying a plane is WAY MORE like driving a car than it is like riding a horse.

@jonslg240 Год назад

A way to consider what I'm saying: 5% of the time the horse won't respond to your inputs at all. Only way that can happen in a plane is if something is broken, and that only happens WAY LESS than 5% of the time lol..unless you're flying a 1950 seaplane

@TheFinerPoints Год назад

@@jonslg240 Well, yeah, we disagree but that's ok, I still like you 🙂. A plane has a mind of its own too and will "eat the grass" when you're not looking. Trust me, as a CFI, you'll get A LOT more mileage (ha) out of disconnecting the automobile from the mind of your students. I've been riding since I was 9 years old and teaching flying for the last 20 years -- the analogy has been very powerful for me. In a car when you take your foot off the gas, the car stops. In a car, you need constant inputs to keep it on the road. When a horse is running it's pretty much "hold on loosely and don't let go" with minor adjustments along the way -- that right there is worth the comparison but it goes a lot deeper.

@TheFinerPoints Год назад

@@jonslg240 I'd think of that like, you'll do what you need to to get the horse to comply, you're the boss, make it happen. It's the same in a plane. When turbulence rolls you and a subtle input won't get it back, make it happen.

My instructor asked me, "Do you drive your car with that death grip?" I said that I usually only used two fingers. He said, "Great, do that here." As for level flying, he always preached flying smarter, not harder. Trim became my friend. As for the left-turning tendencies, I was trying to use the yoke instead of the rudder. He cured that in one minute. At times, as we were in the 150 and/or 172, I marveled at the fact that he was an old Vietnam era Navy A-6 Intruder pilot. He had the personality of a porcupine, but damn, he trained me well.

@Otacatapetl 3 года назад

That whole "death grip" thing applies to cars too. In his memoirs the racing driver Fangio said he never won anything till a friend told him to hold the steering wheel just with a finger and thumb from each hand. Instantly his control of the car improved and he became a champion.

@echooutdoors2149 3 года назад

Same thing with dirtbikes, the bike will go where it wants to go, just like with everything else. You can power through mistakes with a death grip, but again that's with everything else as well.

@JETZcorp 2 года назад

@@echooutdoors2149 I'd say it's even more important on street bikes, in a way. A dirt bike kind of trains you pretty quick not to death grip the bars, but on a street bike you can ride for YEARS and not get the memo. But once something does go awry on the street, man does that death grip put you down fast. Rather than "powering through" the pothole or whatever, the death grip turns what would be a quick steering wiggle into a whole-bike death wobble that ends with you landing on your neck. I've had a couple wobbles that I just allowed to pass, which I'm absolutely sure would have been a crash if I hadn't started on the dirt and learned to go with the flow. Even with blown shocks on a vintage tractor, bikes usually do the right thing when you just leave them alone.

@kimberlywentworth9160 2 года назад

Yes, but you need to have a good hold of the wheel when you are on the track. I went to car racing school and they told me both hands on the 9 and 3 on the wheel. Hard to explain. But you had to have a good hold of the wheel to make the turn into the apex and out of the apex. You had to look ahead also.

@moteroargentino7944 Год назад

@Echo Outdoors All bikes in general. Understanding the physics operating on every movement of the motorcycle, be it cruising, accelerating, braking, leaning, swerving, etc will help you command the bike to do what you want instead of fighting to force it. Obviously the type of bike and terrain plays a role too but the basics are the same.

I'm a "that guy" in tip 2..... Glad to finally know what I've been not doing correctly! Also I think you should do a systems review! I also always thought the big fan on the front of the aircraft was to pull us through the air (thrust) and create a relative wind over the wings.... I was informed by a senior pilot friend in his 70's that was not correct. Its actually the aircraft's air conditioning system, I implored him for an explanation! He simply said regardless of the outside air temp (January or August). When that big fan in the front stops in flight the pilot starts to sweat! 🤔😂

@iowafarmboy 2 года назад

I've just started my PPL journey. On the first flight, my CFI told me to use throttle to control altitude, and yoke to control speed. Completely changed my understanding and flight controlling. Even in MSFS, my flying dramatically improved.

@realulli 2 года назад

Think of it as energy management. The plane has the kind of energy: speed, altitude and fuel. You lose energy due to drag, you gain energy by refueling (or possibly from a strong updraft giving you altitude). The engine concerts the energy stored in the fuel into thrust. If the thrust exactly matches the drag, the plane will fly level. If it exceeds the drag, it will either accelerate or climb. Since you pitch for speed, the plane will accelerate a bit, then start climbing. Same for approach and landing. You slowly bleed off energy in the form of altitude and airspeed until you touch down.

@docholiday7758 2 года назад

During cruise flight, your primary flight control is trim. You will be regularly adjusting trim to maintain constant altitude as your plane’s balance changes due to fuel consumption. To maintain constant altitude, I frequently check the VSI (vertical speed indicator) and trim the plane to help keep it at zero with zero grip force. On bumpy days you have to accept some fluctuations in altitude. But on smooth days, its quite easy to maintain constant altitude this way.

@jeffhiner 3 года назад

I developed some bad trim habits with my training aircraft because it had no fairings, and Vy was very close to level cruise speed. If you have access to different aircraft, try flying something a bit more capable with a constant speed prop and cowl flaps, basically something that cruises at a different speed than it climbs. After initially leveling off with elevator and trim, the plane will continue to accelerate in level flight and you'll have to retrim several times to keep from climbing hands off-- watch the VSI for an early indication this is happening. If the aircraft is trimmed correctly for level flight with the cowl flaps open, you can watch the VSI as it loses drag and again starts a slow climb once you close the cowl flaps. Think about why that's happening. It's very good practice, and will break you of this bad habit quickly.

@frankwu4839 3 года назад

In Canada we are trained to remember APT for climbing, and I found it very helpful. When entering into the clime, first adjust Attitude, then add Power, and finally Trim nose up. When leveling off, we do APT again, but trim the other way.
