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.

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.

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.

@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.

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. :)
