Stalling demos - a tip

Well, I enjoy reading this thread, especially since I'm stuck in India at the moment, with an Australian SPL/GFPT and a half-baked JAR-PPL. Hopefully, when I get a week back in the UK in May, I'll get my QXC done, weather permitting. Fingers crossed!

Well done to all you recent PPL-grads, and good luck to those about to GFT.

A tip on stalling demo that an instructor in Australia mentioned to me - don't hold the yoke with a grip as you're pulling back to stall, but pull the yoke back with your left hand placed behind it, but stretched out flat. This helps avoid the temptation to use any aileron input. It worked for me on my GFPT test flight - hopefully it'll work again on my GFT!

Best of luck,

A
