Best Slips vs Skids Explanation for Flight Training or Learning to Fly - InTheHangar

(Please Subscribe to our Channel!) If you're learning to fly or a seasoned pilot, DPE Joe Casey returns to talk about the dangerous difference between slipping an airplane and skidding an airplane. One is a useful tool, the other can quickly get the pilot killed. Understanding the airflow and the blanking of the wing can mean the difference. Also learn how to recover from a spin.

This lesson needs way more views. This could save lives

As a Cropduster flying extremely low to the ground in extremely heavy airplanes usually no more than 300 feet flying under powerlines at 180 mphAnd doing over 300-600 wing over hammerhead turns a day, also being an Aerobatic competition pilot, an ex CFI That has trained 38 pilots from start to finish how to fly, with close to 10, 000 hours now, 2000 hours as a Flight instructor my number one piece of advice is take basic aerobatic training which includes advanced spin recovery and emergency manoeuvring training is the single greatest thing that you will ever do for yourself as a pilot !! the moment that airplane reaches a 90° bank angle you need to know to be pushing forward on the controls and be very comfortable flying in the inverted world! it’s just like when the neighbours dog runs in front of you your natural reaction is to hit the brake pedal in an airplane your natural reaction is to pull back on the stick which is a death sentence once you become inverted you need to be trained enough to know that you need to be pushing forward on the stick and continue the roll back to level and you have a chance to recover from this low level spin recovery. there’s no way I can Express to you the importance of basic aerobatic training ! it’s not a waste of money it’s just like learning to drive your car sliding around in the parking lot on ice, if you don’t do that there’s no way you’re ready for it out on the roads ! same thing in an airplane you need to go exposure self to these inverted conditions to be comfortable with it to give yourself a fighting chance if anything ever goes Wrong close to the ground, you have the tools to give yourself a chance to survive!!!

This visual REALLY helped me understand the difference between a slip and a skid. So far, I've only read about it. This was seriously a light bulb moment! 💡💡

Every student pilot needs to watch this video !! I've been flying for years and this is the best slip/skid explanation I've ever seen.

I’ve had my PPL for 1.5 years now and that’s the first I’m hearing anything about a “skid”. That’s scary! The learning never ends. Great video. Thank you.

[AmbrosioGar]

I am on my way to finish my ATPL theory and as you can imagine I have watched thousands of videos on Youtube... And I can say that this one is by far the clearest, most explicative video I have found. Thank you very much, I will be seeing you much more often from now on

[debbiegailstuart]

Wow! Joe Casey is an amazing instructor. He explains things in such a light bulb way. Thank you so much.

[jesseperez]

The best explanation on this. Let the man finish his full point/expansión then ask questions, he has very valuable information, he needs to finish he's sentences, he was interrupted a few times. Thank You for the video.

[MaximumGtr]

Haven’t taken my first lesson yet but I think this video has already saved my life. Cheers guys!

[kevinlou]

Student pilot here. Finally understood the difference – thank you. A lot of explanations only explained the ball movement, but I never grasped what was happening outside the plane visually. This was super helpful.

10:20 when you turn to the left, it is the right aileron that goes down, not the left. So the right wing would have the higher AoA.

[MerlinspopTBH]

Best explanation of slips vs skids I’ve seen. Thanks! I learned tonight, and that’s a good thing!

[davidglosson]

Fantastic video! That base to final turn can kill you when you are trying to save the approach. Never go beyond a standard rate turn in the pattern. Don't be afraid to go around.

[brucebratschi]

Almost 15, 000 hours and still good explanation’s like this can be a great review on what to watch out for.

[Alex-QT]

This is great. I really appreciate you posting this and going over it.

[challengerultralightadventure]

I'm an old pilot who is retaking my license after 30 years. This was a great refresher in slips and skids. When I was a younger lad, we covered and practiced side slips on approach, as well as climbing to high altitude and putting the airplane into a spin, with recovery. I don't recall seeing anywhere on my new course that it covers any of those any more. I'll have to ask my instructor.

[elpidiomanuelalvarenga]

Super clear. Interviewer asking the right questions. Excellent!

[Jordan-qqmg]

Seemed like Joe was speaking directly to me at 12:53. Getting my tail wheel endorsement currently and had this exact situation on my turn to base today. Moderate tailwind, added left rudder right aileron and skidded onto final. It wasn’t a very hard skid but definitely something that I don’t want to happen again.

[StephensonRaceTech]

Very good explanation! Great to have out there to keep us safe.

[GalenCop]

Excellent video and explanation of slipping, skidding and the difference between - thank you for creating and posting this!!
