That was by design. I
Did a tuft experiment on my wing and found the wing stalls inboard first.Or
maybe outboard first,it was a while back.My point is the aileron has more
authority during the stall because there is still a part of the wing with
aileron that is controling the lift and gives the KR good low speed
control
Here is a question to get us thinking outside the box. During the
flair on landing, when approaching the stall, do you use rudder or
aileron to keep the wings level?
And how about "full stall landings", a term I consider to be totally
inaccurate. How many times, when pilots say they do "ful
As always, it's nobody's place to second guess anybody's flying skills under
these circumstances, but the spiral into the gulf thing certainly lends a
clue to what happened. I'm not much of a pilot, but I did do something this
weekend that I hope will keep me out of the stall/spin statistic boo
Mark is absolutely right, but I would recommend one step further.
Take the time close to the time you will begin test flying, or after any decent
layoff of flying, and go get with a senior instructor for some residual stall
spin awareness training, after studying the book, Stick and Rudder. Get
I agree with Colin, I f you have never done spins? get an instructor and
do some. Hen I was learning to fly, I had a problem with stalls in steep
turns, i always got into a spin or spiral so i got spin training. When a
friend went to take his check ride the check piolet ask have you ever
done a sp
Spins are fun after you learn the drill, and one thing you'll learn is
NEVER let that happen close to the ground.

Earlier this summer I flew my Cessna into Venice, Flordia to have Sarasota
Avionics install a new IFR radio stack. Kirk, the installation manager
personally warned me NOT to take off over the water in the morning. It
seems it is very easy to lose track of the horizon and confuse the blue
