Practicing stall recovery, the fabled base to final turn with engine failure

[rockwoodrv9]

I watched it years ago and it is just as freaky now. I can see how easy it is to go around. Thanks for the reminder and I plan to bookmark it or download.

This is an excellent video and good reason why RVers should get some training in basic aerobatics and unusual recovery. Note the difference in recovery procedures. The instructor smoothly rolled through the skidding stall with nominal altitude loss whereas the pilot froze, stopped the roll half-way through, and put the plane in a nose low attitude. Yikes!

Go out and find a good aerobatic instructor and spend some time practicing unusual attitude and spin recovery procedures. Do it to the point where it is second nature. Have some fun and fly safe.

And here is a new video that surfaced just a few days ago in Russia of this exact thing happening.

Unfortunate and sad to see this!

Great video and recovery.

I went up to practice the "impossible turn" the other day. This was my first attempt and it wasn't very good. My best glide is ~90 KIAS and I let my speed build up in the turn. I was too focused on watching the AoA and not falling out of the sky. The AoA was in the red at first, but backed off as my speed built up. I applied back pressure to slow down but that only steepened my turn as in a spiral. Any critique by more experience pilots would be very welcome. (My new Virb Edit update defaulted to MPH rather than Knots. Sorry)

Good video regarding impossible turn.
