  • Awesome. Wonderful demonstration of this excellent teaching tool.

  • walking the stall....

    many say it should be part of the private initial training. It's not required and maybe should be....

  • I have done this many times while doing stall training. It was panicing to me. Now I dont do that anymore

  • dad always taught me to watch the horizon and let the plane do what it wants. if you've got altitude then 99% of the time not fing around with ailerons will bring you out of it. cool video though, instructor is a hot shit you can tell haha.

  • God they are fun... <3

  • 0:55 "holy" lol

  • VEJAMMM COMENTEM E AVALIEM /watch?v=lr-i1S491qE&feature=c­hannel

  • the only spin i have not experienced are the inverted kinds. Im a canadian private pilot working at my commercial so i have been taught, and practiced spins.

  • Very poorly. I went up to a good 4,000 agl and proceeded to do falling leaves. The 172 was more or less doing oscillations. I would stall it, hold the yoke all the way back, it would stay stalled for a couple of seconds and the nose would drop slightly, gain airspeed, and in turn the nose would go back up. I would do not this if you have not had proper spin entry/recovery lessons and have done these maneuvers with an instructor. Very dangerous if you don't know what your doing or how to get out.

  • its not funny when it happens to you when your 12 years old and your dad does it to you on purpose without telling you ahead of time, its a lot different with full power on too

  • Good video! Wouldn't confuse this with a deep stall though, those a very different. :P You wouldn't get much rudder practice in a deep stall.

  • we did this in warriors in our club as an exercise.
