Hey, it's a great excersise for the, "Close your eyes, and roll left. Now roll level and hold level flight while keeping your eyes closed. Now open your eyes, stay under the hood and recover!"... (Unusual Attitude Durring Your IFR Checkride).


I was never lucky enough to get that for unusual attitude training. It was always, "close your eyes, put your head (back/forward) and hold on!" My IP would maneuver some and then say "Okay, recover."

Funny thing is, he had to stop doing it because he never fooled me. I think it was the fact we were in a Piper Warrior 160 more than anything. Not much you can do in one of those. Waiting to get handed my butt by an IP when flying in something capable of doing real unusual attitudes (like a Pitts).

It´s got to be the ´51.
1. The airplane isn´t moving -> 0kt above the HSI -> it is sitting on the ground
2. The ADI is well above the horizon, about 13degrees perhaps -> P-51

Just some quick thoughts...


If you look closely, you will see that the wings are not level, so it is either in the air or off. You obviously want the modern P-51 sooo bad, don't you :lol:



Naah, thats the new Accu-Tire-pressure simulation. The right tire is low on pressure, hence the wings arent level! Or it might be an autopilot fault, who knows? ;)

Unusual Attitude training for me by my instructors was always placed into an unusual attitude by them with my eyes closed and head down in lap. But Mark Boss, the FAA examiner for my instrument checkride did it that way by allowing me to put myself into UA. But I didn't get into UA and he then he put me there and had me recover.

CFI sylibus is to always have the CFI place the aircraft into UA so there is no chance of the student putting the plane into a departure.

Yeah for me it was similar. Close your eyes...very gentle movements to throw off my equilibrium by the IP...he would ask what I 'thought' the plane was doing....then open eyes and recover, often with partial panel simulated...(DG and AI simulated inop). First look at airspeed, if low and falling...verify with alt/vsi/tc..lower nose, then level. If airspeed is high and increasing...verifiy with alt/vsi/tc...wings level, raise nose.

Cheers
TJ

I've got that to look forward to then. I asked them to incorporate the IMC rating into my PPL - I was told at the time this was ok - but of course things have changed since the end of last year.

Still torturing myself looking at that slender glimpse of A2A panel.

We talked about this Rusty...

Find a plane owner, then find a private instructor willing to take cash. Keep everything outside the flight school. Then your costs for your training will be half of what it would be if you were doing the training in a school.

Very good idea, i'll have to get back in the 'circle' as it were.

When I was at the club regularly, I would pinch stick-time with other pilots, although it wasn't me that instigated it; one chap was hour-building for his ATPL, and was getting bored senseless just flying on his own - not recognised in my logbook of course, but practice all the same.

Once you get your PPL, one way to build time is to be a safety pilot for someone working on their instrument rating or building their instrument hours. When flying under the hood you need someone with their eyes outside.

You fine chaps keep your cards held very close indeed.

Thank you very much for the update Lewis, I follow very few software progress updates these days, A2A plus one or two others being a rare exception to the rule.

Unfortunately, it's just you. No GPS.
