Learn How to Fly - What is the Proper Technique for Rudder Control?

Nice

When you push down on the rotor pedal, are you moving the front wheel also? In other words, if the nose wheel is turned to the right when you land, won’t the airplane turn to the right?

That s not correct. With experience you ll see that during take off and landing, you want the foot to be placed on the full pedal to quickly access the brakes. Fly a tail dragger during gusty conditions, I guaranty that if you re not quick enough on the brakes , you can quickly lose directional control. The heel on the ground technique is good for airliners to avoid deactivating the autobrake system during take off. This is based on several years of flying experience.

Try landing on one wheel, keep it on for 50 feet or so and go around. Land in a very strong crosswind, on a dirt runway or just get oversize tires and you won't really need brakes that much cause the oversized rubber takes away most of the energy; see how your method is not for advanced students. I flew in Alaska off field and some pretty high wind situations in Central Asia and sometimes, you have to get down or run out of gas, there is just no where else to go. It is no more "trick flying" than doing Chandelles or Lazy Eights. Both of the last two saved my butt in mountain flying more than once.

ОТВРАТИТЕЛНО

Great. Not many videos talk about this, and I've seen many.

Great info here. I mean I knew all of this, but suspect I forget it s little in the heat of the moment. I’m a student pilot. Thanks for this! It helped!

prolly a dumb question but why not have the steering wheel turn the plane?

Going to take me a while getting use to it.

Thank you, like others my instructor didn’t show me this

What???

Great video!

Awesome, thanks for sharing 🤙

This is really helpful, I've been having issues with taxiing.

This is my dream. Learn to fly. Take the licenses.

I thought the rudder control are similar to the stick. You push it down, the nose dives. You pull it towards you, the nose pitches. Your tilt the stick to the right, plane rolls right. Tilt left, roll left. So from what I thought, the if you apply pressure on right rudder pedal it will turn left.

Good thing I'm not flying on nor do I intend to! (Ride as passenger yes, fly it myself no! LoL!)

Step on the ball

Well said, great!

thanks

Thank you bro my dream is to fly a plane one day

Very helpfull😊

Thank you for information 😊

is it just visual or does the right bedal "fold" when fully extended? if so. why? and does the brakes work in this situation?

I enjoyed your tutorial on the use of the rudder pedals, thank you for sharing

I had difficulty in executing sharp turns while taxing, this video helped me. Thank you

I don't agree with you

Fantastic video and very well explained. Well done.

thanks you so muchh

Wonder if anyone ever tried to fly a plane in high heels. Also, thanks dude

Thank you

also to do same but i luck

Question: is this standard? (or each airplane uses different systems?)

I had no idea about the Feet pedal options just a PS5 Gamer who loves Aviation

When is Yaw utilized?

Pop quiz: What happens when you abort a takeoff roll and need your brakes immediately? (Cut to footage of a crash and fire.)

This is purely a style thing. Neither way is "correct", and for pilots looking to go to larger planes you should learn better habits. There are many scenarios where you can end up needing to blend between rudder and brakes. Sliding your foot is not safe, and hilariously absent from these videos because it doesn't work. It is much better to learn proper foot control for these situations. Only go heels on floor in situations where brakes are definitely not needed (e.g. after takeoff).

I see a lot of videos going into detail on this showing people wearing something like cowboy boots and that's why they're told to keep only toes on pedals. For the love of the sweet baby Jesus, wear appropriate footwear when you're flying. Unless you're an Alaskan cargo pilot rushing vaccines to a rural hospital with a floatplane, you should be wearing comfortable shoes (e.g. tennis shoes, sneakers) so you can feel the pedal.

"I wish my trainer had told me..." A lot of GA pilots are dying right now because trainers are absolutely awful and pilots are taking stupid risks. Please track down these bad trainers and report them. Don't just let them keep getting pilots killed.

No, in no way did you even touch on how the rudder effects the plane in the air.

👍

verdaderamente fue de gran ayuda. te agradezco mucho la informacion.

Thank you so much for this information 🙏

Which plane is he flying.

Is it normal that the left and right pedals are not perfectly aligned?

THANK YOU!

Damn seems a bit tricky

Great video, well done👍

are those pollini sneakers?

you steer with the rudders- when I first flew, the instructor told me to taxi the plane to the end of the runway and use the rudders to steer. It looked like a drunk driver getting use to steering with your feet.

Helped alot thanks.

Thank you!!! Just had my first flight lesson and this would have been x1000 helpful if I watched it prior
