Spin Training, November 2007

My aerobatics instructor (Simon) demonstrates a near perfect 1 turn competition spin. I then show how not to do it. I gradually get the hang of them over the next 10 or so spins. My problem is a tendancy to leave the anti-spin rudder applied too long.
Simon demonstrates an avalanche and some flick-rolls on the way back to the airfield. As you can see, the flick-rolls are easy enough to start but difficult to stop, especially the roll to the left!

i'm curious, how come you always spin to the left?

@rockstarJDP

It is slightly easier to go to the left - the engine torque helps it to turn that way, although it does not make much difference.

Thanks for uploading this video!!!

I'm getting my ATPL training right now and I have started the with the T-67 M200...

We have to memorize the out of spin emergency procedure but unfortunately we cannot perform spins due to accidents that happened in the past... so thanks again, now I see how it looks like...

@MURAZZA

Shame you can't do it for real. It seems daft to learn the theory but not to actually try it out. Where are you based?

[MURAZZA]

@aerobaticfreak But, yesterday we performed a Lazy Eight and a Chandelle wich was a great experience!! since we get commercial training we dont do extreme maneuvers...

@MURAZZA

Great - if you get any opportunity to do aerobatics you should take it - it will make the rest of your flying much better.

If you get to the UK, come and find me - I am an instructor at Cubair at Redhill aerodrome - I'll take you up for spinning and aeros:-)

Looks like you got it down to me! Thanks for posting, hoping watching you and others will prepare me (a little) mentally for the real thing.

Cool video - I did a spin just like this on accident on my second PPL flight ever - my instructor corrected it in a second but it was a lot of G force that I wasn't anticipating! Freaked me out!

[rockstarJDP]

@aerobaticfreak ah right, thought it might have been something to do with that. cheers!

@aerobaticfreak Thanks for the for the invitation!! :) I'll find you when I come... actually I'm thinking of getting acroatics after I get my ATPL... in the mean time if you ever come to Turkey contact me and I'll show you around my school its the biggest in Turkey, we have 3 different aerodromes in 3 different loacations, several aircraft including the largest private CL-215 fleet, we have 7 and 2 are on the way...

@aerobaticfreak Well yes we learn the theory but safety comes first :) However we are trained to get out of stall scenarios.I'm Based in Turkey. I'm getting my training at the Türkkuşu (Türkish Bird) Flight School of the Turksih Aeronautical Asociation. We start with the T67 M200 to learn the basics of flight. I'm at the first phase of my flight training wich will last 19 hours. After that comes the instrument pahse were I'm going to switch to the C-172 Skyhawk equiped with the Garmin 1000.
