One thing that I personally find useful in learning maneuvers is knowing the context in which this maneuveurs would be useful or vital. In this case, finding yourself in a canyon with rising terrain and needing to turn around and come out without stalling.
Context is always good. However, in this case, a chandelle is actually NOT used to escape a box canyon. It’s a common misconception because the maneuvers are similar. But that’s not what a chandelle is used for. Here is an article discussing it more. www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2020/september/pilot/technique-performing-a-chandelle#:~:text=The%20Airplane%20Flying%20Handbook%20describes,to%20safely%20exit%20the%20canyon.
I love the presentation format and the level of detail, especially the tips on rudder application differences between chandelle to the left vs to the right. Great job! Looking forward to a deep dive into lazy-8s! 😉
So I just passed my instrument checkride on Friday and am about to start commercial training. I am still confused about something. Maybe I missed it but can you give some context on why we need to do a chandelle?
Congrats on passing your instrument ride! So, as with many of these commercial maneuvers, there isn’t necessarily a direct application to real world flying where you use the exact maneuvers. Chandelles, lazy 8s and 8s on pylons more just focus on the fundamental stick and rudder skills that you should possess as a commercial pilot to show mastery over your aircraft. Other ones like the steep spiral and power off 180 absolutely do have real world applications 👍
@@NorthwestAeronautOK, perfect. Thank you! I have been looking at these maneuvers and couldn’t figure out the applications, so thank you for explaining. The application is to show mastery of the stick & rudder skills. That makes perfect sense 👍🏽

Glad you liked it!… keep an eye out next week ;-)

love the format!
So glad. Thank you!
Great content!
Thanks Larry!
Didn’t understand directions, did a hammerhead on my checkride after watching your video, the DPE wants to talk to you now ☺️
And this is why I have disclaimers on my videos. 😂
Sam... Shouldn't you have declared an emergency?!?
lol why would I do that?
@@NorthwestAeronaut Well... You lost your prop of course!!
Oh 🤣🤣 naaahhhh… it wasn’t doing much for me anyway! lol 😂
