Once the wings stall then basically you are just a brick with wings. He entered the spin by reducing power and holding the nose up to bleed speed. Once the wings stall you can either recover and fly away or play about a bit (if you have the altitude). He entered the spin by applying full ailerons which rolled the a/c into a spin (after the funky barrel roll section). If you notice, he was holding the column well back with both hands for quite a long time. This was to allow the spin to develop properly - mostly a flat spin by th he looks of it. If he hadn't then the nose would have dropped and it would have become a spiral dive, which is alot more dangerous. To recover he lowered the nose, applied full opposite rudder, waited for it to stabilise, then applied power and climbed away. The really difficult part is maintaining situational awareness . Instruments (other than altimeter and maybe turn&slip are pretty much useless). It's all about the training and being a brilliant pilot. Rhys used to be squadron leader on tornados before the test piloting. He knows his stuff 👌
Good old Tester 74 doing his stuff. I wish they had Clarkson in with the doc available. That was a great story that the doc got to dine out on for a while ;)
As was explained by another user, it's a spin. It's used to teach proper stall recovery techniques to student pilots. It's mainly taught in flight schools and mostly done in single engine Cessna type aircraft.
I remember this; hysterically funny. The man teaches fighter pilots ! It's remarkable how calm he is while Clarkson vomits.
really hard to find this video on web today
If the uploader or anyone has the previous few mins of this recording please upload it thanks .
finally find it
The pilot is my sisters god fathers dad
Same here
fastmclaren71 he genuinely is....
He's my cousin 😎
Rhys Williams right?
@@maxdennis4230 absolutely
Can anyone please explain how the pilot made the plane "fall" through the air like that?
