Knowledge of basic aerodynamics and flight mechanics are critical to pilot safety. https://bit.ly/TrainAOA To mitigate risk you have to know where it exists and when you are in danger. #SAFEtoolkit ...#CFIpro #flySAFE #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots
“Integrated Energy Management” (chapter 4 AFH) yields smoother and safer aircraft control. Our EM Webinar is now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/T68au5n0YGg Initial CFI MCA maneuver included! ...#SAFEtoolkit #CFIpro #flySAFE #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots
Still an unconfirmed report (CNN’s scoop.) The FAA has shut down those low level helicopter routes under R33 approach👍 #SAFEtoolkit #CFIpro #flySAFE #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots

Since the removal of Minimum Controllable Airspeed (MCA) from flight testing in 2016 with the ...publication of FAA SAFO 16010, most CFls no longer teach MCA.
Consequently, most pilots do not understand “induced drag” and “the region of reversed command.” Many pilots fear (and avoid) slow flight and stall practice.
MCA is slower than the current “slow flight.” As described in Area of Operation X, Task B in the CFI-ACS, pilots are required to fly on the edge of a stall (region of reversed command) with the stall warning device fully active. Any increase in pitch or reduction of power in this configuration will result in an immediate stall. The primary aerodynamic force at work is “induced drag” which is very non-intuitive to a new pilot.
Once a plane is slowed past the best glide speed and minimum drag speed, it takes *more* power to sustain flight at a level altitude at a slower airspeed. Induced drag increases exponentially as the plane gets slower, requiring greater pilot skill to maintain control.

It’s time for us – as instructors – to do the research and put some study time in so that we can do a better job of teaching the VFR chart. There is so much information provided if we just look closely and understand what that big - sometimes hard-to-handle - multi-colored piece of paper is telling us.
The Five Phases of Landings
"I have observed more landings than I’ll ever remember, but most that I do remember are remembered because they were examples of the fact that the pilot did not understand the five phases of landings."
Teaching Engine Out Glides
When student pilots begin to learn about emergency procedures, the concept of the engine-out glide is introduced. The CFI will usually discuss the procedures to be used when an engine failure has occurred.
