  • Revealed: Why Airplanes Have Rudders
    By: Doug Daniel | - My face still turns red when I think of the time I was being checked out in a Cessna 182. We took off and reduced the power to cruise-climb. I was pretty excited about the constant speed prop and manifold pressure gauge - both firsts for me. My instructor was a kindly old gentleman with a deep resonant voice. He had high standards and never scolded. I was determined to meet those standards and earn his approval.

    "Has a lot of power, doesn't it?" he rumbled.

    "Sure do ...

  • How To Practice Ten Times As Much Each Pass Down The Runway
    By: Doug Daniel | - How many touch-and-goes can you do in an hour? (Why would you want to do touch-and-goes for an hour?) I can only do at most one every 6 or 7 minutes. That means that, if everything works out just right, I might get 10 touch-and-goes in an hour.

    Now suppose I told you that you could get ten times as much practice with each pass down the runway? You probably wouldn't believe me. I know how you feel. So my challenge is to convince you in the next 600 or so words.

    You n ...

  • Flight Training Essentials: Three Lessons From Steep Turns
    By: Doug Daniel | - He asked quite earnestly, "How do I keep my bank angle and speed steady in 45 degree turns?"

    While this question looks quite simple, it is a very good one. There are several very useful concepts you can learn by understanding what happens in a constant altitude, constant airspeed 45° bank.

    Let's assume that you enter a left turn by coordinating your aileron and rudder. As your angle of bank increases you have to pull back further on the elevator control. Once t ...

  • How To Avoid Wingtip Strikes
    By: Doug Daniel | - I was recently asked about the possibility of a wingtip strike when landing in a typical light plane like a Cherokee or a Cessna 172. Specifically, I was asked about how far tha aileron control could be deflected without hitting the tarmac when one or both of the main landing gear is on the runway after landing at near stall speeds.

    I will admit that I have never tried to hit the runway with my wing tip and I don't know anyone who has. However, it certainly can be done. Perhaps a ...

  • What Does A Dutch Roll Have To Do With A Good Airplane Landing?
    By: Doug Daniel | - Landings require more skill than any other single maneuver most pilots will ever execute. It is no surprise that landing is the most dangerous few moments of any trip. I stumbled on an exercise that shortened the time that pilots needed to learn landings and dramatically improved their landing skills far more than I ever thought possible. It has become known as the 'Slow Dutch Roll.'

    A Dutch roll is a rhythmic maneuver that most instructors agree is about as useful as patting your ...
