Check out the video!
So after several day of rain, we were finally able to get a day of flying in and continue the journey.
For this lesson, we are going to practice stalls and stall recovery. For those that do not know, a stall occurs when the angle of attack (the angle that the wing makes to the relative airflow) reaches a certain point and the wing looses lift. It is an important skill to learn as stalls kill many pilots each year.
We also used this lesson to build my skill at entering slow flight as we rushed it a bit in the last lesson since we were burning daylight. Since the winds were fairly high, the instructor was looking forward to trying to achieve a negative ground speed...and we came oh so close! A little bit of fun to start the lesson.
The instructor then demonstrated a few different types of stall and I was able to practice many different recoveries. I really thought, as did my FI, that my skill improved with each recovery. I definitely felt that I did a good job on this lesson.
