  • although it's perfectly possible to have 0 ground speed, and actually fly backwards (ground track), it is NOT possible to fly with 0 airspeed. So showing the airspeed indicator is not correct, must have had a blocked pitot tube or something. Cool trick, just show it correctly via a GPS or something. (Still rating this a Like)

  • @JonWalterAviation The airspeed indicator was showing around 40 kts. Like van1098s said, the 0-40 gap is very small. The LORAN (haha old school, I know) showed me hitting 0 GS, but I didn't catch it with the camera.

  • I always wondered what it looked like. Pretty trippy actually lol

  • nice 

  • @vonyay Just saw all the comments replying to mine from earlier... I think I came off wrong on what I wrote. It is certainly 100% possible to have 0 ground speed or less, and you certainly are in the video. What I believe I was referring to was when you showed the airspeed indicator, which has nothing to do with 0 ground speed, BUT.... I realize that is just me being picky and obnoxious, i do apologize.

    Good video!

  • @JonWalterAviation you must be some fat tard of an internet know it all. The AS indicator didn't read "0" it was just below 40KIAS, which is as low as the numbers read. Plenty of 172's can slow fly till the AS indicator bottoms out. Espesically those with flap gap seals installed. Go take your .02 of knowledge somewhere else...

  • good one

  • i know who is flying. he is the man :-) hi sir vonyey

  • whoaa.. flying stall speed at headwind
