Steep Turn Base to Final


201er

Recommended Posts

The skidding turn video is an awesome explanation that lays out the simple fact: The lack of understanding of angle of attack and basic aerodynamics causes fear of bank, when really it should be fear of critical AoA, and that fear causes the skidding turn - which "is a killer." No recovery possible...even Yeager or Hoover can't save that one...but they avoided it!!

LOC-I is stall. ONLY cause of stall? Exceeding critical AoA. This is out of slide deck posted earlier (thank you). These objective presenters effectively present root message (at least for me) of this thread, cutting through the noise: Be aware of your AoA when maneuvering, because not being aware of it is a greater threat to your life than airspeed -- OR bank angle.

And before the dentist jumps all over with criticism, I strive to stay coordinated on the rudders during all phases of flight so not something I even considered worth mentioning. And yes, the angle of attack probe is mounted on one wing but so is the airspeed! So there's no difference there buddy. No difference!

How reliable is your gadget in a slip vs a skid? Any difference?
