Takeoff with Taylor CFI

Maneuver Monday!

We’ve already talked about how airplanes fly and the primary flight controls used to control aircraft. Now let’s use these lessons and apply them to skills.

There are four basic flight maneuvers that are foundational pieces of all airman skills. These four maneuvers are straight and level flight, turns, climbs and descents. Every advanced maneuver or complex produce is derived from these maneuvers and that’s when flying really gets fun.

So how do we perform these maneuvers?

Last week we talked about how an airplane flies, so now let’s talk about how pilots fly airplanes.

Primary flight controls are used to change the attitude of an aircraft while secondary flight controls are used to help assist and maintain a desired flight configuration.

Understanding control inputs is an important building block for being a proficient pilot by helping to minimize pilots workload and makes flying much more enjoyable! As my brother always says, work smarter not harder!

Maneuver Monday!!

Every Monday, I’ll be dropping a lesson for a new maneuver. The best way to practice any maneuver is always up in a plane, but knowing what to expect and getting a few reps “chair flying” in before is always helpful too!

For our first lesson, let’s talk about normal takeoffs! After all, you can’t fly if you never leave the ground! While it’s a simple maneuver, it is a critical aspect of flight. By its nature of being close to the ground, it must be done with full respect and attention to the situation!! So how do we properly takeoff?!

Having a working knowledge of how an airplane creates lift is an important building block for understanding how aircrafts maneuver it a variety of situations. While “wings” is the correct answer, let’s take a deeper dive into how airplanes fly…

Before Covid 19 there was already a major global pilot shortage. Then overnight that problem was alleviated with the grounding on planes worldwide.

As we continue to recover from Covid signs are emerging that the shortage remains. It's not a matter of if, but when and how severe will it be?

Why Now is a Good Time to Become a Pilot! - Takeoff with Taylor With already existing pilot shortages and a rebound in air travel demand from Covid-19, Now is great time to become a pilot.

So last night I launched my website takeoffwithtaylor.com/. I'm really proud of it, considering I built the entire thing myself. It's all bones right now, but I'll be releasing content weekly (if not more frequently) to help fill her out!

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Is there any information you'd like to see that I didn't answer? User friendly? Grammatical errors? Please let me know!

I'm excited to share my aviation journey and the skies with you all!
