How to Fly an Airplane : How to Make a Steep Turn in an Airplane

[daz1233]

The bank angle is nowhere near 45 degrees. Therefore when you add the extra power and apply your back pressure you gained 100ft. You can see when the camera glances at the instruments that you are in a 500 fpm climb. This is more a bad demo of a medium level turn.

@dlsiks As long as you stay coordinated you should not spin, the stall would just break opposite the turn and roll you pretty quick.

[maynardthepilot]

i wanted to learn how to do it,, not see you do it.. didn't help me at all,, sorry

[Bigpigdotcom]

What is the point of this video??? you have to pay thousands of dollars any ways to get your lisence and i would get a PROFESIONAL to teach me

[mchelopilot]

@Bigpigdotcom so people who are currently in flight training can review the maneuvers and to familiarize themselves with the procedures. VERY helpful if you are in flight training.

[chevaliercourageux71]

You are great

[kokym8]

how to fly a plane? wow that's what i want just wait i wanna get on my A380 at the backyard just wait

[ROBLOXrayan1565]

What if you use the stall while the steep turn. Im in pilot school right now :-D

[angryprometeus]

i did one of those yesterday

[Chronikhit]

Hey, I'm a flight student right now, and I think it's really cool that you're making these videos. I was wondering if you could make a video of a spin. :)

[Coolboez305]

He was using 30 degrees. The instructor said 45

[glovisy]

Can one of you pilots explain, what does he mean by "we're turning left, so we need to clear left by raising the wing" ? I've always wondered why pilots start to turn a little one way before they actually make the real turn the other way. What does "clear left" mean? Thanks

[pdutube]

A clearing turn is used to make sure there is no air traffic coming from the direction you intend to maneuver in. The Cessna is a high wing plane so there is a blind spot in the direction of the turn. Before a steep turn to the left you would want to raise the left wing a bit to make sure no one is there. For stalls or spins you want to make clearing turns to make sure no one is beneath you. The left wing rise in this video is very subtle.

[watsonb72]

Clear left means that he will raise the left wing by making a slight turn right, to clear it for traffic by looking under it. You rarely see other aircraft when you are away from an airport but its always a good I dea to look first. Like when your mom told you to look both ways before craossing the street.

[shortsk8er16]

Like driving, one must look to the left by raising the wing and make sure noone is there or no obstructions to fly through

[mkent33]

This is done to ensure there is no traffic in the area that you are planning to turn into. A simple procedure to avoid mid-air collision.

[TVwatcher92]

clear left means that on the left side is no traffic (other airplanes)

[1niceguyme]

there looking for traffic..

[teheee]

Clear left means visually clear the area left. Make sure there are no planes in the area you are turning. The 172 is an upper winged plane so when turning you lose a lot of visiblitly toward the direct you are turning. Mid air's suck so always check boys and girls ;-)

[RobNewall]

A good idea is to place thumb and forefinger on trim wheel at top and turn until thumb and finger are at the bottom as you feed in 45Deg of bank then the trim will be spot on for a steep turn

[drumdude46]

with all the discussion about Bank Angle, Adding Power, Trading lift, for Positive Pitch, Horizontal component, yada, yada,

what else is he supposed to be watching, and taking care of in this "Steep Turn"

anybody notice the Inclinometer? hardly showed it. Question: wonder if he's keeping the Ball centered. I see a lot of Pilots miss this important Aspect of a Turn in a GA aircraft ( jets rarely need this)

"Keeping the Turn Coordinated!" come on, say it with me......... Rudder.

[d260]

a nice little trick to help with steep turns in a 172 is to add 3 quick down swipes of trim.

[Aysar88]

This isn't a very good instructional video on turning. FAILED TO MENTION THE USE OF RUDDER WHEN TURNING

[TheLancer1993]

Its common sense, because if you look at the turn indicator you'll see the ball drift you'll know to use rudder.

[gwaposimiguel]

is that a go-around???

PLS.REPLY

[toranamunter]

That wasn't a steep turn. A steep turn should be 45 degrees, this was only just over 30.

[Gunslinger2071]

Sir, your teacher lied to you. There ARE such things as stupid questions.

[toranamunter]

a steep turn is 45 degrees angle of bank. this is not successfully demonstrated here, you can see quite clearly on the AI 31-33 degrees only. The instructor even SAYS 45 degrees in the video as he rolls in, he just fails to achieve it. FORTY FIVE DEGREES is the definition of "steep turn", what is demonstrated is closer to a MEDIUM TURN. (30 degrees AoB)

[ultimavr]

you also need to add a bit of throttle when doing so and is best to give two full back turns of trim(if plane equipped wiht turn-wheel trim) or some electric trim up to make holding back pressure a whole lot easier. but make sure you take it bak out again(both trim and throttle) when done. you also need to perform clearing turns as well b4 doing this manuever to make sure your cleared of other traffic

WOW.... 69266 videos.

[ELKFAIR]

Thanks for taking me flying with you! That was cool. When do you post the how to do a barrel roll in a cesna 152 video?

[IeatCHILDREN117]

how can this one get promoted, its a waste of time

[wilburville]

Nice instructional explanation but 30º is hardly a "steep" turn. Try 45º to 60º. Steepen it up.

[captainjakeroo]

I agree. A commercial standard steep turn is 45º-55º.

[wilburville]

The instructor asks for 45º and it likely got there for a moment but it's not sustained. A quick peak at the Attitude Indicator showed 30º.

New students, always so intimidated by the steep ones.

[captainjakeroo]

I think the instructor is flying the maneuver. The student seems to be the one with the camera.

[CessnaDriver2]

I always get a kick out of the "kick" you feel when you hit your own aicrafts wake doing these.
