Art & Science of Flying - Basic Aerobatics 1

Welcome to Rich Stowell’s Art and Science of Flying training apps, which explore the wonder not only of flight in general, but also of airplane and human performance in particular.

A remarkable convergence of science and artistry often occurs whenever well-trained pilots skillfully manipulate aerodynamics to achieve a desired result with their airplanes. Whether incorporated into formal training or used to improve the quality of solo practice after dual instruction, these easy-to-use mobile apps will enhance your learning experience and allow faster development of your stick and rudder skills.

In Basic Aerobatics Volume I, Eight-time Master Instructor and 2006 National CFI of the Year Rich Stowell reviews the following topics: Control Inputs, Aresti Symbols, Know Your Rolls, One-Turn Spin, Loop, Aileron Roll, Immelmann, Half Cuban Eight, Full Cuban Eight, and Reverse Half Cuban Eight.

Video clips are supplemented with textual descriptions of the various topics, as well as reviews of the essential points needed to make your practice as efficient as possible. Use the information in this app to walk through what you will do prior to flying, and to critique your performance afterwards to set the stage for your next practice session!
