Slip (Good) Skid (bad) and Stall

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKfG3lWCZ80

Slip  - good very safe (inside the ball)
engine out landing
kill altitude without gaining altitude
bank airplane to left; put in Right Peddle -the lower wing flight the airplane, upper wing is blank has dirty air by the fuslage, if you have a high angle of attack, the upper wing will stall and falls and level off with the lower wing and aircraft flies 
bank airplane to right; put in Left peddle  -the lower wing flight the airplane


Skid - bad and DANGEROUS (out the ball)
Right Bank; put in right peddle  - the lower wing will stall first and if high angle of attack, aircraft will fall over on it's back and go into a spin, power can also create the yaw
left bank; put in left peddle

angle of attack


Spin (to the left)
stall and a yaw
PARE
power (is the enemy in a spin because it
Power to idel 
Alerion - Neutral
Rudder - opposite the turn  RIGHT
Elevator - forward (defete the stall) decrease the angle of attack


most aircraft needs about 1000' to recover

5 Acrynom for IFR

MEA  - Minimum Enroute Altitude 

lowest altitude along the route that assures navigational signal coverage and obsticle clearance


MRA  - Minimum Reception Altitude 

lowest altitude to recieve navigational coverage


MCA - Minimum Crossing Altitude 

Lowest altitude a fix can be crossed and continued on allowing to clear obsticles in normal climb


MOCA - Minimum OBstruction Clearance Altitude 

Lowest altitude to clear obstacles and recieve VOR coverages within 22nm of a VOR


MAA - Maximum Altitude Altitude 

Maximum usable altitude for airspace structure

Holding 

  • What Radial are you holding?
  • Righ hand (Standard) or left hand hold
  • Time/Distance hold? 
  • Draw the Hold on a VOR
  • Where are you in relation to the VOR?
  • What kind of Entry are you going to make Direct/Parallel/TearDrop?
Note:
ATC in concern about the Inbound leg of the Hold, the length of it (distance or time) and to be on the  protective side
They do not care how you enter the hold
