Taxiing, T/O, 360º turns, stalls, spin awareness, turn around point. 1.5 hr.

Turn around a point. 1500 AGL

Enter with tailwind from here. The steepest turn will be first.
======================================
Rudder?
At lower airspeed and high torque, such as takeoff, right rudder is needed to counteract propellor.

On takeoff, right rudder is needed.
V(r) (rotation) = 50
V(x) (best angle)= 55
V(y) (best rate) = 67
==================
Angle of attack
Angle of incidence
Relative wind
=====================
Power off stall
1. Power off
2. Nose level / hold altitude
3. Full flaps
4. Ailerons neutral / hold heading
5. Coordinate rudder
6. Buffet / recover


Stall recovery:
feel buffeting, horn goes off
1. full power, take off 10º flaps, nose level.
2. verify airspeed increase.
3. 10º (next notch) flaps.
4. verify airspeed.
=====================
LH Spin
Neutralize ailerons
full right (opposite) rudder
gradually pull up
gradually bring up power
========================
No flaps on takeoff.
Spin messes up the heading indicator. Reset.
Keeping traffic in sight. Have to.
Ignition MAKE SURE IT IS ACTUALLY OFF!!!!!!!! LOOK!


Questions for next time:
Airport map & runway markings not magnetic north but corrected (true) north? How are the heading indicator and compass set?
At some point, Mike was "suggesting," "Maggie, fly the plane!" When was that? Takeoff?
Talk thru takeoff.

Clearance. (no flaps). Full power. Right rudder, ailerons into crosswind as needed. Rotate at 50 kn. V(y) is 67. If taking off 240, at some point hang a right toward the north. Stay below 1200? 1700? until we cross the road. What road? Then climb to whatever.

[Ken R. in Holy Name Band is a pilot. He says he flew for about 12 years. That'll give us something to talk about.]
