Flight Lesson #7
Instructor: Matt Kiener
Before heading out for preflight, we discussed slow flight, leading to stalls, and the importance of keeping the plane coordinated.
Your plane... All of this traffic is making me nervous.
The airport became really busy just as we were taking off, with two choppers air taxing (one on each side) and two planes just landed and taxing, I asked Matt to take off while I worked the radio. Once off the ground, I took over for the climb out. We went above the clouds to 5000' then slowed the plane down and did a few 360’s in each direction.
Stop chasing the needle!
Since I was still watching the instruments during my turns, Matt held a notebook in front of the instruments, forcing me to keep my head outside, watching what the bank and pitch should look like. According to him, some turns were better than others, none terrible, a couple excellent.

Next, Matt demonstrated a no flap power off stall, which was uneventful as he kept the plane coordinated. I asked Matt to take the plane back in as it was still busy.
To the sky...
