Normal flight has limits: what happens to the
aircraft when it is pushed to one aeronautical extreme or another
is presented with great clarity in this video. Normal lift can
suddenly disappear when the pilot causes the aircraft to exceed a
reasonable angle of attack. But how does the pilot know when he is
approaching the limits of normal flight? This video explains the
progression from normal flight, to slow flight, to minimum
controllable airspeed, and beyond. The viewer is also shown that
normal limits can be exceeded even at cruising speed while trying
to turn too vigourously or too abruptly.
ATP's Flight Training Video Series, based on the
Flight Training Manual, has been created by experienced
flight instructors and airline pilots, and is especially useful for
the primary phase of flight training, both for the Recreational
Licence, and the Private Pilot licence. There are ten
½-hour videos in this series:
- 1. The Principles of Flight
- 2. Taxiing; Attitudes & Movements
- 3. Flight maneuvers
- 4. Slow Flight & Stalls
- 5. Spins & Spirals
- 6. Takeoffs
- 7. The Circuit
- 8. Approach & Landing
- 9. Navigation
