During your flight training, your instructor will run you through different safety procedures to prepare you and teach you how to make better decisions as a pilot. Some of these procedures will be very scary, and I’m speaking from experience. Here are some of the scary lessons to look forward to 1. POWER OFF STALL: A power off stall is practiced to teach you on the dangers of stalling the airplane at low speeds, particularly when coming in to land. You are also taught how to recover the aircraft if it stalls. To simulate a power off stall, you put the aircraft in landing configuration, when ready, pull the power back to idle, then pitch the nose of the aircraft up. Hold the nose up until the airplane stalls. To recover, you simply pitch the nose of the aircraft down and add power. 2. POWER ON STALL A power on stall is practiced to teach you that an aircraft can stall at any speeds or at any phase in flight. But more importantly you are taught the dangers of stalling the airplane during take off if you exceeded the angle of attack. To simulate a power on stall, you put the aircraft in takeoff configuration, when ready, push the power up, may be to max power, then pitch the nose of the aircraft up. Hold the nose up until the airplane stalls. During a power on stall practice, you are advised to keep your toes active on the rudders so you can keep the wings balanced and keep the ball centered. There’s a possibility a wing may drop when practicing stalls. To recover, you simply pitch the nose of the aircraft down and add power. 3. UNUSUAL ATTITUDES Unusual attitudes is practiced to teach you on how to use your instrument to fly the airplane. Assuming you’re just a VFR pilot, if you ever find yourself in a situation where outside view is completely gone. You are taught to trust and depend on your instrument to fly and navigate the aircraft. To simulate unusual attitude, you’re asked to where a hood over your eyes during flight. This will obscure you’re outside view, so all you see is what’s in the cockpit (your instrument). 4. TURBULENCE This is not a procedure, but as a student pilot, you must learn to manage your risks and the aircraft when flying in turbulent or rough air. Flying in rough air may be scary on the first experience, but once you get used to flying and being in control, you should be able to handle yourself. The important lesson is to know the maneuvering speed of the aircraft you’re flying and remember to power back to that speed whenever you find yourself in rough air. Maneuvering speed is the max speed which an aircraft can be operated in rough air. 5. SOLO FLIGHT Your solo flight is supposed to be exciting, and truthfully, you will be. But with that excitement will also come some nervousness, maybe some anxiety too. Rightfully so. You will be piloting an entire plane by yourself, that can feel scary. But not to worry. Trust your judgement and know that you’ve trained enough and found sufficient to fly the airplane on your own. Else the instructor wouldn’t sign you off.
