  • The following discussion is from IAN Twombly article December 2018 Flight Training magazine.
  • “Exceeding the critical angle of attack” or “Stalls” how do you train your students? When teaching stalls I usually introduce them not using the word stalls but discuss how we are going to exceed the critical angle of attack. In a recent article in Flight Training magazine “Right Seat: Shake Off Stalls” Ian Twombly discusses this topic.
  • Ian also discusses Spin training for the CFI – I required all of my CFI applicants to do some aerobatic training while getting their spin endorsement. This is how I was taught and I passed that along to my CFI applicants. What do you do? Do you think this is a good idea?
