Stall, Upset and Spin Recovery Part 1 of 4

Unusual attitude training begins with the prime directive, the first fundamental, job number one of piloting an airplane – Do not make the airplane stall. Stall recognition, stall recovery and stall avoidance is the commonality of upset and spin recovery. In this four part series, Jim Alsip Master CFI-Aerobatic presents the basics of airmanship and how to recover unusual attitudes. Part I deals with stalls; In Part II, a top rudder maneuver recovers nose low attitudes; going ballistic is the theme of Part III and everything comes together in the final Part IV – spin recovery.
The series should be watched in order 1 – 4.
Airplanes do not stall. Pilots cause airplanes to stall. Stall recovery is easy – just stop what you are doing. That statement is profound in its simplicity; so profound, so simple that too many pilots do not accept that life-saving advice. They try to make it something more complex.
