How to REALLY fly a Lazy Eight - Commercial Pilot Maneuver

-- CHECKOUT OUR GROUND SCHOOL APP FOR PRIVATE PILOTS HERE --

In this video, I answer the request to expand on the flight maneuver called the Lazy 8. This maneuver is not required by the Private Pilot certificate but it is on the Commercial Pilot ACS. However, I use this maneuver regularly during pilot training to make sure that pilots understand how the airplane will over the bank during a slowing turn. There is no other maneuver that demonstrates how this works. Fly Your Best!

I've got videos and podcasts coming pretty much week over week in 2018. Stay tuned to the Facebook page for all the updates and for more information on The Finer Points visit our website -

Passed my commercial checkride today and wanted to thank you for posting this video. I did a lazy eight and this video was huge in my mastery of this maneuver

I have a commercial license and was never able to do good lazy eights. I'm glad the DPE didn't asked me to do one in my checkride. Anyway I went out and tried this method and it just works! Outstanding

I commented when I first saw this video then I practiced it with precision on the first try. I showed my CFI and he was very impressed. He said it's not fair that you can do this so easily and everyone else struggles with it including him. He tried it and loved the technique. 2 Thumbs up again.

Outstanding video! I just passed my commercial in June and I wish I had been taught it that way. So much more sense!

This is a priceless demonstration that takes all the mystery out of the Lazy-8 thanks SO MUCH for sharing this!! I'm going to get in my airplane this weekend and try it out!

When working on my Commercial ticket, the Lazy 8 was my favorite one. I still like doing them (30 years later) as a relaxing maneuver and one that's actually enjoyable for passengers to experience.

You may be the first instructor I have come across who can explain the Lazy Eight in a way that makes it possible. I'm currently training for my CFI-A certificate and will give your method a try. Stay tuned!

Currently working on my commercial and I have been struggling with my Lazy Eights. I learned that I might be over-controlling the plane and releasing a little too late. I'm going to apply what I learned on tomorrows flight! Wish me luck!

This is crazy. Couldn’t do these for the longest time watched this video and boom it’s easy. Definitely one of my favorites now

First lazy 8 maneuvers today, it went alright but I was very focused on my instrument readings (15 bank at 45, 30 at 90, etc). Now I've seen this video and I'll try again tomorrow. Let's see how it goes!

I'm super excited to go up and nail this maneuver, after having seen this. This channel is one of my favorites!

I’m working on my commercial single, and I like the feel of doing it this way. I still had to add more bank input in the LSA I’m in, but this worked so beautifully. I was taught pitch-pitch-bank as my first introduction to this maneuver, and that made no sense to my brain. As I said, this worked great!
