 Stunt Flying in 4951A Austin, TX Although there aren't actually any photographs in this series as the name suggests, Dustin and I were in fact out doing some stunt flying with Barb. I believe on this particular occasion we were actually working on a variety of stall spins. Dustin departed KAUS with Barb, worked on the maneuvers, landed at Lockhart (50R), and then I took over from there. A stall spin, to anyone curious, is basically where you idle the plane, but rather than losing altitude, you continue pitching up to keep the plane at a level altitude. Of course, eventually you have to pitch up so much that you wind up stalling. Just before this point (when the stall horn starts going off), you pull the yoke full back and apply full left rudder (which would normally make the plane yaw left). This combination causes the plane to effectively enter into a spin while nose diving. Though it is a thrilling sensation, we practice it specifically to understand how to control a spin and how to effectively get out of one should one ever inadvertently occur.
