Turns, Stalls & Spins - Episode 6: Accelerated Stalls & Snap Rolls

If there isn't enough violence in your flying then accelerated stalls, secondary stalls and snap rolls might be just the thing to spice it up! No pilot has invented a new way to crash an airplane yet, so learn from others and avoid adding yourself to the accident statistics.

Interested in advancing your airmanship skills, learning aerobatics, or upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT)?

WARNING: Do not perform any maneuver shown in this video unless you have received proper training from a qualified flight instructor in an appropriate aircraft. Do not perform aerobatic maneuvers in any plane unless it's designed and certified for aerobatics.

Never dawned on me you could stall with a nose low attitude. Very interesting.

Looks like an old Western Michigan Extra 300L.. cool that its still rocking the original paint and tail number.

Nice work as usual Spencer. Keep them coming.

Spencer,
Great job my friend. It's been said, one picture is worth a thousand words.
With just a few words and your video says a lot.
Thanks.
Keep them coming if possible

I love the way you explain and demo the content in your videos. Thank you

[paratyshow]

👍☑️ learn stuff every time I watch one of your videos. Great knowledge and sense of humor, tks Spencer.

[mikeschultze]

As always great information Spencer. It may surprise you but many Airline Pilots have never done any Aerobatics. There happy in the 30° bank world of IFR flying.

After your Private get your IFR Rating to make flying safer. Learn about Aerobatics and become a complete aviator. Train with a highly qualified instructor like Spencer.

Happy Flying

Great, but I wish you would have explained stick input during the snap roll.

I'm just now getting into aviation (studying up, no flying yet) but it seems crazy to me that people dont know that the elevator turns the aircraft. I guess they arent really thinking of the frame of reference from the aircraft rather than from outside. but it would only take being at a 90deg bank to see what is happening, from the outside you are turning in a flat circle parallel to the ground but from the cockpit youre making a loop. same happens at any bank angle but the forces are split. basically at 90 deg bank your control surfaces change function, with the rudder acting as your elevator if you are using an outside frame of reference. any bank between 90 and 0 will have split forces requiring use of all controls to an extend.

Spencer following on from that video can you explain the harrier when the wing starts flying again at approx 45 degrees, no idea why but hey it sure is fun

[christopherpeters]

So cool.wish I was younger and had money

[martijn]

I think I finally got whose presentation style your presentation style reminds me of: Tom Scott. You're both very good at presenting something while actually doing something related to what you are talking about.

By the way: How many takes does it on average take you to talk about these maneuvers while executing them?

Spencer, big fan here, I would love the idea if you could do some of these things you mention in those Cessna's and Pipers, to compare to those acrobatic planes and show what those differences are in real GA planes. So many people like you mention only have a Cessna or piper to compare to what you do for reference. I am sure you would be bored to death flying a slowhawk 172 but I would find it interesting all the things you describe about flying characteristics with you at the controls. Surely others would too, well just a suggestion!
