What the Heck??? (stalls) - Stall Anxiety

<< < (2/4) > >>

Baradium:
What part of Alabama are you moving to?    A former professor of mine has a tiny flight school in Middle Tennessee.  He's really good, but he doesn't do piecemeal stuff though so you'd have to have time to go up there and fly until you had your license (doesn't sound to me like it should take very long at all).

Fabo:
Stalls are fun. Spin... that I didnt like much. Even though I was advised we are going to spin, it was over at two turns before I realised what was going on and what should I have had done had I been flying.

Anyway thanks for reminding me to do an unashamed self-plug and post the video, expect it in some other thread soon :)

We're moving into the Birmingham area. The Bessemer airport, I understand, has a couple guys with planes who do instruction, and there's a flight school at the Shelby County airport in Alabaster. One of their part time instructors is also a checkride examiner I believe.
I have options, and while I feel bad about dropping out at my current FBO, sometimes ya just gotta know when to pack it up and find someone else.

Fabo:
Birmingham... I think a friend lived there for a while coupla years ago. She was quite surprised I knew where the place was. Funny what flightsimming can teach you ::type:: (unless you are Chuck, as we can see in current strip...)

spacer, I just finished my PPL (10/12/11 WHOOP! WHOOP!), and was somewhat in your situation as far as maneuvers being a thing of the past and so the refresher brought back the fear of the departure stall, once I had the configuration memorized my instructor had me do it several times in a row.  What helped me though WAS my timidity, because I would fly the stall horn (at 4000' AGL)  I would put the nose up like 15-18º wait for the speed to burn off, then hold that full power setting and adjust my pitch just to keep the stall horn on, this also challenged me to maintain coordinated flight.  And since I knew I could fly in that "unusual attitude", I also knew I could make the departure stall happen at a time of my choosing by just pitching up slightly.  Power on stalls now make me feel like Sean D. Tucker  ;D
