👉🏻 As usual, great video! In my training, I was taught-on power off short approaches while abeam the numbers-to do two things: 1) Get to Vbg speed, and 2) head straight for the numbers
A suggestion for your power on stall would be to slow the airplane down to about your lift off speed, around 60 mph with the Cessna 150 and get a little slow flight practice in while doing your clearing turns. Then smoothly add power, in your case, 2300 RPM, while smoothly raising the nose. You won't hang on the prop as long with the nose way up there and the stall won't be as spectacular. If memory serves, that might be the way it is described in the FAA flight test booklet. Enjoyed the video. Thank you. "Mike" Kelly, "Old School" Aviator and CFI.
Another good video Chris. I was a midlife pilot and as of last month have been licensed for 30 years. I guess I’m now an old life pilot. I like your honesty about the challenges you face from flight to flight along with your enthusiasm. I still face some of the same challenges especially around staying current and dealing with changing flight conditions. Your videos are interesting and help me with perspective, understanding what I face is also experienced by others. I’m a member of a small flying club up here in Canada. It’s a great arrangement. Cheers
I noticed your Pivot case. I just got mine this week and used it this morning in our 1966 Piper Cherokee 140/180. I’m really loving how durable it feels. So easy to attach and remove too. Great videos. I love the honesty in what you show and how you explain things.
Great video, Chris. Love the 150. My first 30 hours were in a 74 commuter. 2 adults is a squeeze, but for solo flying and time building, they're very efficient. Can't wait for the next one.
0:01 great standup. it took me 20 mins to do mine and I didn't have as much to say (let alone having a rad background) 4:40 I understand the fear of power-on stalls, otoh the recovery is easier (than power-off) unless you have to go into PARE, right? 10:00 why do I like slips to land when solo and not when anyone else is in the plane? (otoh I like them less the more hours I have, for some reason) off to watch the full vid now! about to start some tailwheel transition training in a plane with no stall horn. eep.
pleasant ride along. Nice balance between music background and your voice over..

Welcome to the 150 family. I love my 75 model M.

Thanks Steve - we definitely love our flying club here!

Very cool! Yeah, it's a great solo plane for sure - especially with fuel prices these days!
Kinda makes me want to go fly a 150...

Did you trim during the steep turns?
Very cool, the 150 is an affordable option too. Just don't know where I would take it to.
