It’s usually called a Slip ... drop the wing into the wind and opposite rudder while maintaining proper airspeed and it will allow you to descend at a higher rate. It can also be called cross controlled. I use it on tours sometimes to allow for pictures and move the wing out of the shot. It can be more appropriate than banking when people are not used to small airplanes. Just be careful with it and get instruction before trying it ( try it high altitude and get a feel for it before using it at lower altitude. Thanks for watching !
He has a bit over that as we are locked into a curriculum and this is lesson 14 or 15 when we start doing shorts and softs. Thanks for watching ! Most of my students think I talk to much lol so careful what you wish for.
Make sure to watch in HD ! 1080 !
I was playing with shutter speeds and was impressed compared to the normal auto setting.
So that technique with the rudder one way and aileron the opposite way is called wing-low right?

How many hours has this student flown for? I’m guessing around 15? I wish I had you as my instructor during my private pilot training
