Hey everyone, Jason with you
up in the cockpit here of 23 Mike Zulu.
I just finished my premaneuver checklist and I'm going to be showing you,
for some of you, you've seen this technique, for some of you this might be your first time
seeing this video, or an MzeroA.com video. I'm going to show you
my best steep turn trick. Remember in steep turns
the load factor we're imposing on that airplane.
Remember what we are doing to our vertical and our horizontal components of lift. Right?
We need some sort of, we need a way to increase that as we go through
so I'm going to show you how to use trim as a part of our technique.
So we're gonna get the airplane all configured here. Like I said,
my premaneuver checklist is set, and one thing you want to strive for, this is a visual maneuver.
I want you looking outside of the airplane.
Right now I'm eventually going to do it under the foggles and other things, but I want you looking
outside of the airplane. So I picked a great point, I actually have some smoke out
here in front of me. I don't know if you can see that, there is some smoke out here, but I'm going to use
a fire out there that I'm going to use as my point. It's about a
165 kind of heading as well. I've got my altitude here
I'm gonna look to hold 3,500 feet here.
I've got everything set, maneuvering speed, everything else is all looking good here.
Throttle's set, verify I'm clear to the left,
I'm going to roll with my turn to the left, we're gonna do private pilot ACS steep turns
45 degrees of bank. I'm gonna take the trim for 3 rolls,
1, 2, 3 complete rolls and I'm gonna let go of the control.
My hands are right here. Alright? We're coming through, look at
my altimeter, right here. We're coming on through. Look at how my nose is just
slicing across this horizon, my altitude hasn't budged.
We're coming on through, right? Watching my heading, wait for that smoke, I haven't touched the yoke a bit.
We're coming right on through. Slice that nose across the horizon.
Here comes my smoke again. Look at the altimeter here, I have to push forward
just a little bit. 1, 2, 3, I take
out, there is some trim, there is my wake that I hit, and I'm looking straight ahead
heading right towards that smoke. Now lets do it to the right.
To the right now. We're kind of working to put it in plain English against
the grain of the propeller. I need to give it 4 rolls in this case, I roll
first, so I roll into my turn. I set it where I need it and then I go
1, 2, 3, 4 that's 4 new rolls.
That's not 4 additional rolls, that's 4 new rolls in this case here.
And we just let it same thing, coming on around. Working
it's way on through. Coming on. Looking Good.
Slicing that nose across the horizon. Maintain, look at my vertical speed indicator here.
I know I'm in a little bit of a sink now, let's fix in for that, I can make these tiny little corrections.
There we go coming on through. Looking great. Coming on through there's my smoke.
I stop that there, I have to
push forward on the yoke just a little bit here and I take out my trim:
1, 2, 3, 4
Using trim to benefit you
in the airplane. Trust me I still want you to know how to
hand fly the airplane. I still want you to hand fly steep turns and work your way
on through. I just want to give you something else to add to your
flight bag of tricks. Maybe you do one with trim maybe you hand fly the other.
But the thing to remember is, this isn't a substitute, this isn't just
give it three rolls and just sit back. Right? We still have to fly the airplane.
We still have to look outside, slice that nose across that horizon
and burn that sight picture into your brain. When you figure out what holds level
flight for you, whatever it may be, work and burn that sight picture into
your brain with that. It's just going to be so great moving forward through private,
instrument, commercial, whatever certificates you continue on to pursue, so listen
I can't wait to read your comments below this video on Facebook, on Youtube,

And most importantly remember A good pilot is always learning. Have a great day guys. See ya
