The reason pilots cannot successfully fly chandelles is the same reason for the high fatality rate in "high power/high nose" flight attitudes (take off): lack of coordination! Every pilot needs to improve their intuitive control here: bit.ly/SAFE-Chandelle Read the SAFEblog #flySAFE #CFIpro #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots ... See MoreSee Less

The Secret of Chandelles (and Safety): "Cross-Coordination!"

A chandelle is just an extreme form of a climbing turn (in the commercial syllabus), but understanding and mastering this maneuver will make *every* pilot safer!

Echo/ Gulf airspace confuses a lot of pilots (and ruins a lot of FAA flight tests)! Airspace is the #1 pilot violation too😳. Golf is surface just about everywhere unless otherwise specified (1 sm/CC). Echo is 1200’ AGL just about everywhere with few exceptions (zipper tracks). Echo “protects” IFR traffic with greater visibility and cloud clearance requirements. Echo descends to the airport, 2200-700’ in magenta transition and surface inside dashed magenta.
