Learn How to Fly - What is the Proper Technique for Rudder Control?

Learn the proper technique for the pedals of an airplane during taxiing, takeoff roll, inflight, and landing roll.

This information is so helpful! I wish my flight instructors had taken the time to explain this to me. It would have made my taxis so much smoother! Lol. You’re an amazing instructor, Marcelo!

I had difficulty in executing sharp turns while taxing, this video helped me. Thank you

Nice, concise and relevant video.

One case where this technique can cause issues: Landing with a very strong crosswind, where you have to maintain rudder deflection for directional control. Here it can be difficult to move the (downwind) foot up to start braking without letting go of the rudder.
Therefore, when the crosswind approaches limits, I move my feet up before de-crabbing.
Nice work, keep them coming.

This is really helpful, I've been having issues with taxiing.

Good information. I have a tendency to touch my brakes after landing. I need to move my toes back more. Im a student pilot so learning something new everyday!

I've been training in an aircraft with hand brakes. Great explanation as I may be transitioning to a Cessna soon.

Very informative Marcelo for the activity of flying a plane.
Thank you very much.
Have a happy safe life.
😘
I so want to fly a plane efficiantly and effectively.

Just the right information required. Wish more CFIs would be so precise

I enjoyed your tutorial on the use of the rudder pedals, thank you for sharing

[caribbaviator]

Going to take me a while getting use to it.

[marcelob.]

Great. Not many videos talk about this, and I've seen many.

[reevejeremias]

Thank you, like others my instructor didn’t show me this

[MrAndy]

Fantastic video and very well explained. Well done.

No, in no way did you even touch on how the rudder effects the plane in the air.

[dougmyers]

Don't forget the tops of the rudder pedals are the brakes, so when you want to slow, go ahead on and tip into the top of the pedal to apply the brakes, the wheels will slow...works on the ground as well.

[andnor]

is it just visual or does the right bedal "fold" when fully extended? if so. why? and does the brakes work in this situation?

[jerminkhu]

Is it normal that the left and right pedals are not perfectly aligned?

[aceofspades]

Question: is this standard? (or each airplane uses different systems?)
