Aerobatics Pre-Solo Check Flight

[AeroGirl]

Hi All,

 

Just finished editing my video from last Saturdays aerobatics pre-solo check flight, which I passed, so I can now do solo aerobatics. I was supposed to do my first solo aerobatic flight today, but unfortunately I am sick with a cold, so hopefully that will take place next Saturday.

 

Anyway, here is my video.

Remember, do not try this unless you are endorsed to do so, and have an aircraft that is also so endorsed, else go to your local flight school that specialises in aerobatics, and learn how to do it.

Great decision making Sally, from the comfort of the ground. It is far better to make the decision on the ground than face a harsh reality at altitude.

 

Fit for flying circuits, and fit for aeros are not the same.

 

I recall a BFR with a very experienced instructor well versed in aeros which I was keenly anticipating, at the latent end of the cold and with some mild conjunctivitis courtesy of the kids. The rolls were fine but the only attempt at a loop had us seeking out lower altitude and some mundane circuit work.

 

I don't know whether you imbide or not, but 8 hours between bottle and throttle might be lega,l but with aeros is not sound practice!!

I have heard red bull drinks and aeros don't mix either, yet they give them away free to adventure flight customers before they get into the extra 300.

An outside loop certainly clears the head .....

G'day Sally,

 

Thoroughly enjoyed the video, and very well captured indeed.

 

Most of my aero experience has been in the Airtourer, which has many similarities with the aircraft that you are piloting. Noticed that when in the spin, when your hands went to the coaming, the lateral shots showed outspin aileron. Was this commanded, or no?

 

Like the spin to the right, which I thought was a lot better defined.

 

Great that you are able to share your experiences. Not too may pilots will encounter what you are doing, but any pilot who ventures into this aspect of aviation will never reflect adversely on the skills that they acquire through aerobatics.

Great video Sally. I'd love to be able to do that. Keep up the great work and hope to see some more videos in the future.

Well done Sally. Great video. I'm just a little jealous. Keep em coming and I'll keep watching. Thanks

Love it - well done. FYI I find that if I use 720p @ 60fps on the GoPro it gets rid of the venetian blinds effect of the prop (still looks bent but it actually looks like a prop).

 

Keep up the great videos and have fun!

Excelent video Sally! Definately enjoyed watching, thanks for posting

Hi Sally

 

Finally managed to open the video (seems to have simply needed enough time before I lost patience with it) and thoroughly enjoyed sharing your experience.

 

It's great to see someone young developing this level of skill and I congratulate you on your achievements. I'm sure we will hear of many more in the near future.

 

Best wishes
