Best Slips vs Skids Explanation for Flight Training or Learning to Fly - InTheHangar

This lesson needs way more views. This could save lives

As a Cropduster flying extremely low to the ground in extremely heavy airplanes usually no more than 300 feet flying under powerlines at 180 mphAnd doing over 300-600 wing over hammerhead turns a day , also being an Aerobatic competition pilot ,an ex CFI That has trained 38 pilots from start to finish how to fly ,with close to 10,000 hours now ,2000 hours as a Flight instructor my number one piece of advice is take basic aerobatic training which includes advanced spin recovery and emergency manoeuvring training is the single greatest thing that you will ever do for yourself as a pilot !! the moment that airplane reaches a 90° bank angle you need to know to be pushing forward on the controls and be very comfortable flying in the inverted world! it’s just like when the neighbours dog runs in front of you your natural reaction is to hit the brake pedal in an airplane your natural reaction is to pull back on the stick which is a death sentence once you become inverted you need to be trained enough to know that you need to be pushing forward on the stick and continue the roll back to level and you have a chance to recover from this low level spin recovery. there’s no way I can Express to you the importance of basic aerobatic training ! it’s not a waste of money it’s just like learning to drive your car sliding around in the parking lot on ice ,if you don’t do that there’s no way you’re ready for it out on the roads ! same thing in an airplane you need to go exposure self to these inverted conditions to be comfortable with it to give yourself a fighting chance if anything ever goes Wrong close to the ground , you have the tools to give yourself a chance to survive!!!

This visual REALLY helped me understand the difference between a slip and a skid. So far, I've only read about it. This was seriously a light bulb moment! 💡💡

10:20 when you turn to the left, it is the right aileron that goes down, not the left. So the right wing would have the higher AoA.

Every student pilot needs to watch this video !! I've been flying for years and this is the best slip/skid explanation I've ever seen.

Wow! Joe Casey is an amazing instructor. He explains things in such a light bulb way. Thank you so much.

I am on my way to finish my ATPL theory and as you can imagine I have watched thousands of videos on Youtube... And I can say that this one is by far the clearest, most explicative video I have found. Thank you very much, I will be seeing you much more often from now on

I’ve had my PPL for 1.5 years now and that’s the first I’m hearing anything about a “skid”. That’s scary! The learning never ends. Great video. Thank you.

Haven’t taken my first lesson yet but I think this video has already saved my life. Cheers guys!

Best explanation of slips vs skids I’ve seen. Thanks! I learned tonight, and that’s a good thing!

3:34 that is where the actual explanation starts

The best explanation on this. Let the man finish his full point/expansión then ask questions, he has very valuable information, he needs to finish he's sentences, he was interrupted a few times. Thank You for the video.

Very good explanation of an important concept - thank you, Joe. - Martin

A great lesson to be had in this video. As an instructor I will advise students to watch with great interest...

This is a clean-n-simple example of "how to" explain an important element in stall/spin awareness for CFI applicants. Very informative!

Fantastic video! That base to final turn can kill you when you are trying to save the approach. Never go beyond a standard rate turn in the pattern. Don't be afraid to go around.

Super clear. Interviewer asking the right questions. Excellent!

I've never understood the dynamics and differences behind slips and skids and the nature of the spins this well before watching this. This guy is an eloquent instructor. Thank you.

Very thankful I took my CFI checkride with Casey. Gives excellent visual explanation. I come back to this video time from time to teach my students the same way. I didn’t quite understand slip and skid until later in my training and wished I seen this a lot sooner. Thanks!

New subscriber and student pilot.... this is probably one of my favorite discussions and definitely helps me understand the slip and skid differences. Love the content you're are putting out.
