- Courtney discusses Angle of Attack (AOA) and why flying a high AOA is dangerous.

Note: A LEGAL ultralight is limited to 1 seat and requires no pilot certificate to fly. A 2-seat "ultralight" is, in fact, a Light Sport Airplane and requires a pilot certificate to fly. There is no such thing as a "legal 2-seat ultralight."
Courtney is an FAA-certified Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI).

Thank you as pilots reminders are a good thing 👍👍👍
You're welcome!
Thank you, Courtney. That's why YOU always keep your speed up even when landing simply because you're near the ground. You're also very careful about steep turns near the ground at any speed. All kindsa nasty things can happen there, down bursts, sudden wind changes I mean you're part of the air that surrounds you and these things don't have a lotta wingspan AND they're really lightweight so everything affects the aircraft to a higher degree including of course, AOA. Yep get the speed off AFTER you're on the ground, not before.
You're welcome! :)
Thank you for sharing ... I've been "vicariously" reliving my limited ultralight flight experience through your channel (and some fellow Weedhopper PIC's videos). Looking forward to your next post, Courtney ... Blue Skies and God Bless
You're welcome!
Very good video, Thank you!
Thank you!
There are totally different causes of crash of the first shown microlight than exceeding AOA, and of course there was a chain of events as investigation proved many years back.
Almost all crashes are the result of a chain of errors. This isn't an indepth investigation but a means to keep pilots safe.
As a private pilot with no time in an ultralight, I've got a question about this.. is stall recovery possible in the ultralight, or does the wing lose it's shape in the stall and make it impossible to regain control? If the pilot in the video had lowered the nose, could they have recovered? Stalls in a typical Cessna or Piper are no big deal (given enough altitude!) as long as you react properly..
Yes, like all airplanes, you can recover from a stall. However, I won't comment on stall recovery for a weight shift as I don't know enough about them. However, it is interesting to note that a manufacturer of WSC has stated that all pilots should know how to recover from a spiral.
🎉 Thank you; understood 🎉
You're welcome! :)
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Thank you for this information! I have one question - do electric ultralights stall?
ANY plane can stall. it is not related to the motor, it is related to the angle of the wind going over the wing.
As noted previously, all airplanes can stall, the motor has nothing to do with it.
Hello Courtney.
In one of your videos, prior to you starting into a tight left turn, you say to nose down a bit first before executing the turn. Is this a reason for that? It feels logical to me! Thank you for the great information you share. I've learned a lot from watching/rewatching your videos.
When you bank your wings, the stall speed increases. Lowering the nose gives you a bit of a safety margin in the event you're flying close to stall speed or climbing.
I saw a video that instructor ordered put hands on dashboard and push one pedal and suddenly thy recover from spinning downwards....did i miss something? a guy told me tjan in military training they push up until it fails,i think stalls,and then recovery. the whole thing keep me confuse about
to keep student from instinctively pulling back on the stick, which is opposite to proper response
I'm not familiar with flying a WSC so I urge you to contact a CFI that can help you be safe!
#1 HAS to be proper training. If not, then you can do stupid, and it could cost you your life.
Agree!
Motoriced hang gliders is extremely dangerous and should be forbidden. A friend of me died in his machine
Most deaths are due to pilot error. The aircraft has nothing to do with it.
