MZeroA Nation, Jason Schappert here, MZeroA.com.
Show of hands-- in fact, if you would be so bold,
to put a comment now before this even starts.
Who was scared or currently is scared of stalls?
I'm typing "Me, Jason" in the comments right now.
That's you.
Yes, Jason, I was scared of stalls, or I am scared of stalls,
or I respect stalls, whatever that may be.
I was with you.
I hated stalls.
I wanted nothing to do with stalls.
It made no sense to me.
It felt like we're going to break the airplane.
I didn't like it one bit.
In fact, my instructor would send me out to solo and practice stalls,
and I would just go to the practice area and do steep turns and slow flight
and said I did stalls and come back in.
And, she'd be like, "How is everything?"
I'm like, "Stalls were good."
I didn't do stalls.
There's no way I was doing stalls solo.
That was too scary for me.
But then, someone smart told me,
"Jason, we practice stalls to practice recoveries."
No one cares how you stall.
We care how you recover.
And then, someone else, because my big fear is power-on stalls,
showed me, listen, start with it, not at full power.
Allow me to show you this real quick, power-on stall.
Well, what are we simulating?
We're simulating, we're taking off too aggressively.
First and foremost, you have to make it realistic.
So many people go from cruise flight at 100 right here
and just go to rip the airplane back.
No, you'll do a loop before you do a stall, it seems like.
You have to slow down and make this realistic.
Carburetor heat comes on.
By the way, clearing turns are already all done,
just because I want more time.
Make this realistic.
If a take-off stall, departure stall, power-on stall, many names, same thing,
is to simulate I'm taking off too aggressively,
then I should simulate it like I'm taking off.
So, let's get down to rotation speed.
Let's do this just like we would a slow flight in the clean configuration,
like we did last week.
By the way, steep turns last week or two weeks ago.
Slow flight the week before that.
We're in the middle of a great Flight Maneuver Series.
Make sure you catch all of this playlist here.
I'm going to slow us down to roughly about 65, my rotation speed.
Watching that.
I'm not worried about altitude or anything right now.
We're focused on recoveries.
There's my 65.
Watch this.
Carb heat.
I'm scared of stalls.
I'm not going to go full-power.
We're going to go up to 2,100 RPM,
and baby it back.
Here's another mistake.
Everybody wants to keep cranking and cranking.
Pick up pitch attitude and hold it, and wait.
And, if that doesn't stall, there's the warning horn, I'm close.
Give it a little more, a little more,
a little more, a little more, a little more.
And, there she goes.
That wasn't so scary, was it?
Push it forward, full power, and build up our airspeed.
Then, once you build up some confidence,
we'll bring it back around again.
We'll do a full-power on this time.
Build up your confidence first.
Nowhere does it say,
"Right off the bat, Jason, you got to do power-on stalls full-power."
No that could be scary.
Listen, some aircraft can just hang by the propeller, it seems like.
5-1-2-Romeo, my 150 is that way.
It was hanging by the propeller before it stalls.
You start logging helicopter time more than anything, it seems like.
So, just hold this here.
Let my airspeed come to me.
All is good.
Here comes by 65, roughly.
This time, we're going to go full-power.
Don't let it shoot to the moon.
You are the pilot-in-command.
Pick up pitch attitude.
And, right about here, about 17 degrees, hold it.
Hold it.
Let the stall come to you.
Stall warning horn.
I'm going to give it a little bit more, but it's getting about 20 degrees.
There's the warning horn, a little bit louder.
Hold it, hold it.
And, there she goes.
Nothing to it.
Seriously, nothing to it.
Build up my airspeed.
I'm already in full power, super easy recovery.
There it goes.
What about in the power-off or landing configuration?
Again, we have to make this as realistic as possible.
Carburetor heat comes on.
Power comes back.
I am on final.
I'm coming in to land.
I'm within my flap speed.
I'm just going to dump my flaps in.
You could baby them in,
like we did in the slow flight video last week.
I'm just going to dump him in to get him in there
because I need to catch 70, which is my approach speed.
You might even want to push forward a little bit.
I'm pushing forward a little bit.
Here's my 70.
We're coming in.
Man, this look good, 3,300 feet to the ground.
This is going to be such a good landing, Jason.
I am so excited about this here goes 3,300.
Power goes back to idle.
I do that dirty word of "flare."
Make a pitch attitude and hold it.
Don't shoot to the moon, right?
And, there it goes, just like that.
Carb heat, full power.
Nose, break it.
Break the stall.
Get the nose back to level.
Flaps to 20.
Hold it, through 70.
This is my airplane.
Yours may be different.
Through 70, flaps to 10.
Positive rate of climb.
Flaps up and out.
Now, again, we were a little slow.
And, it was more for demonstration purposes.
We made a hole in the ground, there's no doubt about it.
But, we practice stalls to practice recoveries.
To learn awareness of how we can better avoid stalls as well.
Listen, if you enjoyed this, leave us a comment below this video.
But, remember, next week is turning stalls.
The week after that, accelerated stalls.
If you have a fear of stalling, you need to catch the next two videos.
Go back, watch steep turns and slow flight as well.
Can't wait to read your comments
on YouTube, on Facebook, on MZeroA.com.
Have a blessed, outstanding, amazing rest of your day.
And most importantly, remember,
that a good pilot is always learning.
Have a great day, everybody. We'll see you.
