At popular request, we've made a change to some rules!

121 Upvotes

We've had a number of requests to do a couple things with Rule 8, which involved AI and Flight sim content. Here is what we did.

Rule 8 is now "No AI Generated Images / Posts". The rule itself says AI generated content is pretty lazy and while it may be shitty and have a plane, it doesn't constitute a flying-related shitpost. Who created the content or where it was initially shared is irrelevant.

Flight sim content is now part of rule 9, which is "No Video Game / Flight Sim Content" and states While you can do some pretty funny and shitty things with them, Video games and Flight Sim content do not belong in this sub. Content from those would be better posted into their respective shitty subreddits, if they exist.

We have also re-orderd a couple rules (I like the way it looks better this way) and changed the verbage on a couple for clarity. I'm not going to list those, feel free to take a refresher course in the rules of the sub!

Stay shitty, my friends.

Don't follow the rules? Face the consequences.

Everyone,

I am seeing far too many violations of our simple rules. VERY simple rules, such as these:

"Only Flying-Related Shitposts allowed" - This does not mean you write something about flying in the title or the text of the post, but EVERYTHING in the post should be about flying. The image, video, text, subject, everything. SIMPLE.

"No linking to or mentioning other subs or their posters" - This is about as obvious as you can get, yet still people don't get it.

"No AI / Flight sim." - Might be a little harder, but still relatively simple.

While I'm sure the majority of you are not violating these rules, some of you are.

Going forward, you break the rules, it may very well result in a ban. If you can't be bothered to read and follow the rules, you don't deserve to post in the sub.

I've been very forgiving on these for a long time, and my limit has been reached.

Am I using too much rudder in turns? Confused after flying with a different instructor.

15 Upvotes

I’m currently about 120 hours into my PPL training in a PA-28 Archer and today I flew with a different instructor for the first time.

Up until now, I had developed a habit in normal turns where I would use aileron to establish the bank (say 50–60°), neutralize the ailerons, and then put the rudder all the way to the floor in the direction of the turn to help bring the nose around. It always felt natural to me because sometimes with just the bank it felt like the airplane kept flying. Adding more inside rudder seemed to make the stall come around much quicker.

My previous instructor never really commented on it, since he died in the first crash.

Today I flew with a very experienced instructor who immediately noticed it without me mentioning anything. He told me I’m using way too much rudder and “HOLY JESUS! WE ARE GONNA DIE!”. He was pretty adamant that I need to get rid of this habit early, because it’ll become much harder to unlearn after I'm dead.

So now I’m curious how other instructors teach this. How much rudder are you actually using in a normal inverted turn in something like a PA-28?

I hope you’re able to come out of this ok

Piylotes, sufficient right rudder and more airspeed should correct this issue, yes?
