Aerobatic Flight Training in the Super Decathlon -- with Allan Moore

Ride along with me as Allan Moore teaches me the finer points of 4-point rolls, loops, and spins in the Super Decathlon. Allan is a brilliant, patient teacher and I learned a ton by flying aerobatic maneuvers at the Patty Wagstaff Aerobatic School. I'm definitely a safer pilot for my time there.

Worth it for the spin training

[@wyflyguy114]

@billeudy totally agree.

[@Parr4theCourse]

You’re getting pretty good at that!!!

[@wyflyguy114]

This was excellent practice!

G, day WY Fly Guy, from Sydney, Australia.
WINGS LEVEL
My compliments on the filming. Fantastic images of the plane surfaces: fabric stresses and vibrational loading.
The stick and rudder of the four-point spin was interesting, but, the progression into a spiral was somewhat confusing.
Critical Thinking: return to wings level, right rudder and recover to straight and level flight.
(Secondary consideration: more altitude) gives adequate recovery space.
Thanks WY Fly Guy.

[@wyflyguy114]

Altitude is our friend. The roll is the toughest thing I tried for sure!

[@dutchygirl]

You got this!

[@wyflyguy114]

Yes I do...now 😁

[@dutchygirl]

@@wyflyguy114 Your instructor is kinda need with all his hand gestures. I can see he loves his job and having you!

[@wyflyguy114]

@@dutchygirl he’s passionate and knowledgeable for sure.

[@SaltyPirate71]

This instructor would need to give an extensive preflight briefing on what he expects for his non standard terms and phrases.

[@wyflyguy114]

There is a lengthy preflight briefing for sure.

[@CadeBoeger]

He’s quite standard.

[@ssairshows]

I'm going to have to talk to Allan about the "jerk and stall"...he also invented the "startle snatch"...

[@wyflyguy114]

I think he invents a lot of phrases 😂

[@farmfencesolutionsllc]

@@wyflyguy114 FFnA for the win.

[@davefoord1259]

I know what the backseat guy mesns but i dont think the guy in the front seat always is understanding him. This better be the 3rd or 4th flight for the student

[@tonygunn6920]

I used to fly aerobatics, also in a 8KCAB, but terms toes up and toes down are new to me, what do they mean?

[@wyflyguy114]

He was referring to my toes being too high on the rudders and not allowing me to feel the rudders as well I think.

[@idktbh7108]

A fairly significant load in your hand? pardon? 😂

[@wyflyguy114]

I feel like this is where somebody inserts “that’s what she said”. I wouldn’t do that of course, I’m much too mature.
