PPGS Lesson 5.8 | Aerodynamics: Turning Flight
Welcome to Epic Flight Academy’s Private Pilot Ground School! In this Aerodynamics lesson, Certified Flight Instructor Mike Thompson explains the aerodynamic effects on an aircraft during turning flight, including how lift, bank angle, and coordinated controls affect stability and performance. You’ll review the three primary flight controls and the three axes of flight, then learn how shallow and steep turns change load factors and overbanking tendencies. This lesson helps student pilots understand how to manage balance, control inputs, and aerodynamic forces during all types of turns. #PrivatePilotGroundSchool #EpicFlightAcademy #PilotTraining #AviationEducation #Aerodynamics #LearnToFly 📘 Video Chapters 0:00 – Introduction with Instructor Mike Thompson 0:35 – Turning Flight Overview 0:42 – Review of Primary Flight Controls and Axes of Flight 2:18 – Turning Flight Explanation 5:23 – Steep and Shallow Turns 6:22 – Shallow Turn 7:15 – Steep Turn (Overbanking) 8:07 – Review and Summary 🎓 Start Your Pilot Training Journey: https://epicflightacademy.com/prequal...
