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!

General Aviation enjoys greater freedom and flexibility than professional (highly regulated) flying. This means more risk (and accidents) http://bit.ly/SAFE-GArisk Great tools: skill and vigilance👍 #SAFEtoolkit #CFIpro #flySAFE #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots

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.

“Aerodynamic ignorance” leads to dangerous flying habits! Knowledge is power and yields safer, confident control👍

Remarkably, many pilots fly totally ignorant of the forces they harness to maneuver in flight. http://bit.LY/SAFE-LtT This works until they are upset or in a tricky situation. "Loss of Control-inflight" is #1 pilot killer; get this FREE course! #flySAFE #CFIpro #MasterCFI #SAFEpilots

Even though the majority of aviation accidents happen on take-off and landing (with wind!), there is no * requirement* to test crosswind operations!😳 Safety-conscious pilots (and CFIs) should insist on this training #SAFEtoolkit #CFIpro #flySAFE #MasterCFI #FAA #SAFEpilots
