Hey Chris!
Another excellent episode. Just a quick question, when applying flaps the airspeed indicator needle has to be in the white arc, correct? Then when do i apply the rest of the flaps in slow flight. Is it a particular airspeed?
Cheers
Alex
Under the white arc (basically within the white arc) you’re good. There’s no real flap schedule.
This was an awesome episode!!! Too bad for me though, I don’t have rudder pedals, I used to have a joystick with rudder, but it got messed up, so now I don’t even have that! Now I just fly with autorudder because my joystick is an old microsoft sidewinder
Still, this is a fun maneuver, just not as challenging.
Bummer! Rudder pedals rock.
Very good practice for a emergency situation.Say if your aircraft has engine trouble and you’re just trying to coast to nearest airfield on verge of a stall.Nice to see Bill Womack’s Stark’s Twin Oaks make a nice cameo appearance at the end!!! haha!! Luv it Bud!!
Keep on that Throttle!!
Bill’s scenery is awesome. I love it! It’ll be shown quite a bit in this next episode coming up. Thanks for stopping by, Pat. Always a pleasure.
I was reading comments during the last few seconds of the video and missed the Twin Oaks cameo the first time around. Another good lesson, Chris! Slow flight is deceptively difficult, and a little scary because of how closely you’re riding the edge of a stall. It’ll wake you up faster than a triple-shot of espresso.
Ain’t that the truth! Well, this one you just got a cameo but in episode20 we really show off your great scenery. You did an awesome job.
And, you’re totally right about slow flight. I’ve actually always liked slow flight. Very challenging. I’m always up for a nice sweat and headache.
Hi Chris,
Just got into this via me discovering FSBreak. Aviator 90 is excellent, and I love your contributions to FSBreak – very funny:-)
Do you have any plans to make this series of training downloadable so I can stick it on my Zune?
That would be great, as I travel a lot for work, and the content won;t always sink in first time!
Thanks for helping me improve my sim flying.
