Meaning of life 49? What - is that 42 corrected for inflation since the 70s/80s???
Leading turns with rudder - dont agree. As my adverse yaw - rolling around a point exercise proves to the student you coordinate the two together - different a/c require different amounts but *always* the amount of rudder is proportional to the amount of aileron input - I teach both simultaneously - and only ever simultaneously. Lagging with rudder leads to out-of-balance flight - leading with rudder leads to (no pun) out-of-balance flight - either makes the pax feel ill - especially if your new PPLs pax are not used to flight full stop.
Left foot - yep I teach adding left rudder when reducing power as well - and I also describe why it is so much less than is required when adding power....
Um...re-read my post - no intended hint of 'no rudder' usage near the stall...I personally advocate use of it - you have to maintain balance - and that will require rudder....
re: wing drop in the stall....balanced flight is all you can do to prevent it. If an a/c wants to drop a wing it will. Correct it?!?! I dont 'correct' wing drop. I advocate rudder as reqd to prevent further yaw followed by immediate stall recovery actions. To be honest C152s dont have the rudder authority to stop further yaw from a wing drop - however a PA28 is much better is this regard.
P.S. Ladder in post - although having a 'small' disagreement with Royal Mail about postage costs....you might be there a little longer!!!
