In our final video of our flight maneuver series, I am going to review turning stalls with a two-part video. If you would like to go more in-depth with this lesson make sure to watch • Turning Stalls Episode...
My first turning stall was on my final lesson, the week before my checkride - nothing like waiting to the last second for my instructor to fill me in on that one....
Practiced with my CFI, but he told me don't worry the DPEs in the area don't have candidates do turning stalls... Had to do one on my private check ride. I'm glad we practiced them!
I was doing that today in the C172, keep your vids coming, love the speech at the end, MZERO nation! Thanks for helping so many of us become better pilots.
Jason, I love your video's!! lessons being learned on everyone you give. I also love how cool, calm and collective you are flying even with those thunderstorm clouds lingering in the background!! :-) God Bless you my friend!!
I was in the same boat as you. I never did a turning stall until my commercial check ride. I thankfully had a DPE that quickly picked up on my confused look. He talked me through the set up and watched me recover.
Why did you use right aileron on the first stall to the left? Shouldn't ailerons be neutral? PARE I know my instructor always caught me doing that and would always say hold your ailerons neutral.
David you are so right. That natural tendency is a hard one to break. It was not my intention...Second time around I controlled my subconscious mind much better hahaha
@@MzeroAFlightTraining to be fair it seemed like your nose down recovery had already occurred and the wings were unstalled at the point you put in aileron control so they likely would have been effective once again.
I was taught to use neutron aileron and I would say it's hard to resist the natural reaction to move the aileron in the opposite direction. My personal feeling about this is that opposite rudder and forward elevator has greater effect than the adverse condition that opposite aileron brings. Still, it's ideal to have neutron aileron in the recovery. I don't know if it's a mistake Jason made or if it's intentional. Hope to hear some clarification.
BFR CFI used to like doing these --- proviso that bank be between 45 and 60 degrees, especially power off / approach configuration. Started doing these biennally starting around 2000. Do them just about every BFR (C-172 --- more forgiving)
What a great video! I just did turning power on and off stalls last week. I had not heard of them until my ground briefing before my flight and was definitely nervous. It was my 6th flight lesson and I was not so sure about them but they really were not that bad. This video helped me understand them so much more though. Thank you for posting it! I actually saw your plane out at the T hangers that same day when I came in for my last landing at Ocala. Could you maybe do another video on selecting an emergency landing spot and how you would recommend getting down to that field or whatever the spot may be? I've done simulated engine failures twice now and the biggest thing I am struggling with is figuring out how to set myself up for the best landing. My first instinct is to want to do a perfect rectangular pattern but that does not always happen, so what do you do when that just isn't possible? Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the turning stalls! Glad they went well, and that the video was helpful! As far as the simulated engine failure, a perfect pattern isn't always possible - the most important thing is to hit your best glide airspeed and find your best place to land. Keep an eye out for some updated videos soon, but in the meantime, feel free to check this one out on. the ABC's of landing with a simulated engine failure ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HOJ--Y-FVgI.html
I think that more importantly you should Practice power off or low power turning stalls thus replicating stall "and recovery" as if you were turning base or final to land. Great video BTW!
Hey Jason, the way I have been taught is using aileron in the manner you have shown to "counter" the stall can aggravate the stall and potentially make the stall characteristics worse. Is this correct? And is it also correct that steering into the spin can ease it out? Appreciate your work!
Thanks for the feedback! You're right -- That natural tendency is a hard one to break. It was not my intention...Second time around I controlled it much better!

Hey! I’m a student pilot with only 2 hours so I apologize if I ask a dumb question lol but I see you were making a right turn and started to stall to the left will a turning stall always be opposite of the intended turn? And since you are stalling to the left you would apply right rudder correct?
What is the difference between this and an incipient stall? I know an incipient stall is an uncoordinated, power on, climbing stall. I have practiced them many times in my commercial and cfi training.
How come you use ailerons as soon as it stalls Doesn’t it end up aggravating the stall even more? My cfi always said lock your elbow and only use rudder? Enjoying your videos! Thanks, Chris
Those are different. Accelerated stalls are turning stalls, but are caused by adding G force (load factor) from making a tight turn, instead of just pitching for your critical angle of attack while turning. Think about how sometimes you can hear the stall horn going off in a steep turn while you're still at 85 knots, thats the start of an accelerated stall
Jason, Every pilot should practice just what you showed, BUT you were in only a slightly loaded airplane. When fully loaded, stalls get more abrupt and difficult to manage. Everyone should try with a few sand bags for passengers.
Hi Charles! Turning stalls can be intimidating at first! The good thing is that you are with a qualified CFI. Take it slow and if you need any help please reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com. Fly safe!
Turning stalls were very intimidating until my CFI showed me with a model what was going to happen and how to react. Still intimidating but maybe less so....
