Taking an airplane out for a spin. literallly

[andriHv]

i learned the lookout check as "camilf" c is of clearing turns two 90° right and left a is altitude 2000 agl m is for mixture full rich i is for engine gauges (not sure about that one ) and then finally l is for light and f is for fuel pump

[TonyDog360]

That's a hell of a quick spin entry, normally I pull to at least 60 degrees at around 100KIAS and need to hold it a while before I can get the stall spin happening. Did you just have full flap, power idle, and raise the nose a bit to get that quick stall?

[XxandrewjvxX]

We might have touched the rudder a little bit to get her to spin.. power to idle, and you can see my ASI bleed off there, clean congif and a little rudder...

[mamamia2121]

Damn I woulda pissed myself!

[pedrokaspilot]

Katanta????? heheheheheh

[gingrificginger]

wow thats some insane shit dude so much adrenaline my dad did wen i was in his plan dont have anymore but he pulled up bout 500 feet away from the ground scary shit but fun

[bz2384]

faa requires 1500 feet...

It depends on the aircraft. Some Diamond Eclipse (DA-20C1) that have the new altitude compensating fuel system installed are not authorized for stalls and spins.

The following AD only covers DA-20C1, so I'm not sure if any Katana's have the new fuel system installed as well.

For details, please refer to Transport Canada AD CF-2007-27R1.

[macayo3]

is it a Diamond DA-20 ?

[uiucpilot]

clearing turns...that's what we call "lookout checks" in america

[imayora111]

Excellent video!

[salaseenose]

The "LOOKOUT CHECK" he's talking about is part of the HASEL Check i.e. Height, Area, Security, Engine, Lookout. The HASEL Check is done before any "S" manouvers i.e. stalls, steep turns, spins, spiral (simulated). The lookout part of the HASEL Check involves two 90 degree turns to the left and right to make sure there is no traffic in the immediate area before the manouveur is performed. Understand now???

[unit6128]

180 degree lookout turn (or 360)is best so that you can fully check below - not just lateral. In a busy training area it is surprising hao many a/c can be below u

[v6greenfbird95]

I love how flight school have different saying for all these, maybee im from the country Ok before you do any maneuvers do a 90 degree turn to the left and one to the right look for traffic. why make it complicated with a acroymn

[1TmH1]

YA i got that lesson to..then we changed it so now we just tilt the wings to the left and right to see if anyone is coming.

[FlyC152]

I always thought you weren't supposed to spin a DA20 guess not. Nice video spins alot faster than a 152.

[v6greenfbird95]

thats why its not aproved for spins the 152 you have to hold it into a spin most planes you actually have to do spin recovery so the faa cites it non spin approved

[XxandrewjvxX]

i'm a canadian pilot and i dunno what the FAA's rules are but here in canada, were allowed to spin both airplanes, the 152 and katana's.

[v6greenfbird95]

Yea when the plane is certified with a N-number the FAA rules go into effect so its whatever they approve......... Some Aircraft are fully aerobatic in canada but rated in the nomral category in the US go figure

[captplaneta]

thats a diamond katana da-20 isint it?

[13171317]

no..........its not

[cocorito123]

Yes. It is.

Why posting if you have no idea?

[13171317]

so why did you ask you know if you knew why post if you already know. ya fanny

LOOKOUT

What are you checking for with AIRFRAME?

[tomrobinson1]

build up of icing, insect accumulatons, any noticeable wing surface fatigue, visible crack and imperfections.

I'm from the UK if that makes any sense :)

[tomrobinson1]

plus airframe can be regarded as a check for flap configurations, trim positioning and landng gear configuration etc

[nogood205]

gotchya

[wrenchbender25]

It doesn't make sense, this is the stuff you check for on the ground and have maintenance deal with (wing surface fatigue, cracks etc), since they have the knowledge to deal with it properly. I don't tend to practice spins in known icing conditions or through a plague of locusts.

[EveningsGlory]

ya that oens right lol.

[TheTense]

I think its a DA-20 katana. judging by the cockpit layout. It spins fast. I would probably get disoriented. The DA 40 is supposedly much more gentle in a spin

[wrenchbender25]

Do you actually check for delamination/popped rivets before attempting a spin? I think you meant "area" instead - as in no upper airwork over towns etc...

[XxandrewjvxX]

the plane doesnt actually start spinning untill a full minute has passed in the video
