Learn how to Fly with Captain Assaf

The effect

Do you know what is the effect?
If you look closely at the wings of most aircrafts, they're slightly tilted up, and it's not because you pulled too many Gs on your last flight. 🤣It's because of a design called dihedral.

When you bank an , the lift vector tilts in the same direction as the bank. And when that happens, your airplane starts slipping in the same direction, in this case, to the right.
When you add dihedral, you add lateral stability when your aircraft rolls left or right; let's say you're flying along and you accidentally bump your controls, rolling your plane to the right. When your wings have dihedral, a portion of the the relative wind strikes the underside of the low wing, pushing it back up toward wings level. What's really happening here is the low wing is flying at a higher AOA, and producing slightly more lift.

Back to the skies 😍

You need a 4x4 they said

Happy flying this holiday.

Understanding types is important to your . Clouds are categorized based on their shape and .

December 17, 115 years ago, marks the first successful flight for the wright brothers, which changed the course of history. Did you know that the flight lasted 12 seconds for a total distance of 120 feet (37 m) – shorter than the wingspan of a Boeing 747!!

What’s your preference? Yoke or Joystick?

One of the requirements for PPL is to complete 5 hours of Cross Country flights, this means flying to Klayaat airport and airbase
