Loss of Roll Control, VMC in the Aerostar 601P

This video showcases what VMC roll feels like in the Aerostar 601P. Our pilot demonstrates the The loss of roll control when reaching VMC.

The aerostar is no joke. Very serious airplane many forget exist

[@fudogwhisperer3590]

Always keep wings level with rudder that close to stall so wings stall at the same time and doesn't put you into a spin. On many aircraft there isn't enough control authority on control surfaces from inputs to break a spin.

[@christophergagliano2051]

You spin an Aerostar and you're dead, the FAA doesn't require these twins to be spin certified so you will be the test pilot if you put a baron, 310 or just about any twin into a spin. The bigger turboprops can normally get out of a spin because they've got a huge vertical stabilizer and rudder but if you look at an aero star it has a very small rudder. Like the f104 you fly this airplane fast all the time.

@@christophergagliano2051 A fantastic video to watch on it is "Vmc Multi-Engine Training Pt.2" by Martin Pauly. Great 20minute video on this very problem and why.

[@reydogmotor]

It’s good training.

[@Jjengering]

VMC training is NO JOKE. I wouldn't want to be instructing normal VMC training, blocking the rudder pedals seems to be a far more sensible training approach than allowing real VMC roll, the amount of VMC training demo accidents just dont seem to stop happening.

[@phillp7777]

if u explain bettter... obviously that " horn " is the std Stall Warning horn which is in like all GA gen aviation aircraft to help warn assist pilot know plane is in stall condition. kinda simple very helpful piece gear in prop planes...
This is really just a simulated stall training which all pilots go thru... lil more involved complex w a twin engine.

[@AerostarPilot]

The Aerostar does not have an aural stall warning. The horn is the gear warning hour which goes off when the throttle is reduced to about 10"MP (its a micro switch). The throttle is at idle in order to have a windmilling prop for the VMC demo.

[@bartofilms]

So a Pitch down is required in this case to prevent stall/spin?

[@zoe..d]

High power on one engine (asymetric thrust), high nose and low airspeed = this.
Need to recover this quick because I'd bet that aircraft isn't rated for spins.
Good training though. Great way to untrain instinctive inputs with the aileron to keep the wings level in this situation.

[@Keys879]

Not enough horizontal/rudder surface area to recover from in Aerostars, twin comanches and Barons

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

​@@Keys879has anyone ever made a rudder mod for any of those?
Seems like there's alot of options that could at least be explored. For example you could extend the rudder while reducing its max deflection to compensate. (Then if just having that whole tail assembly being a bit longer doesnt do it, then have some kind of high force override or a switch to get the original higher deflection out of the bigger rudder if you ever ended up in a spin).
I'm wondering how much of this has been properly examined and deemed unfeasible vs just noone ever really bothering since maybe enough people in previous generations had always just deemed these spin characteristics as fully acceptable.

[@Capt_Ron]

If that wing stalls prior to or at Vmc you are going for a ride you won't want to be on. In that scenario, many many GA pilots are dying from near to impossible spin recovery.

Halo mr

[@peted5217]

I'd rather practice this in a simulator !!!

[@lembriggs1075]

Way too much aileron input here.

[@Capt_Ron]

Agreed… IF the wings stalled during this VMC demo (including aileron deflection) you are going into an immediate spin like right NOW!
