Lesson 4: AOA, Stalls, and Other Scary Things

In this lesson we’ll cover some of my favorite TOPICS!

• Angle of Attack (AOA)
• Stalls
• Intro to Weather

As you advance in your training it will be time for you to explore the “backside” of the power curve, gain a better understanding of Angle of Attack and Relative Wind, and also practice stalling the airplane a few times.

Before you go into this dreaded part of your training (it’s actually very fun, and very safe despite what you may initially think), we’ll explain to you what is actually going on with the airflow around your airplane and more importantly, your wing.  To jump in, click on the first TOPIC below!

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.-Henry Ford
