The FAA's 2017 ACS rewrite changed slow flight from a sustained stall horn maneuver to flying precisely at the edge of the warning system - here's what that means for your checkride.
PatternThe FAA's ACS changed slow flight so the stall warning horn must stay silent - here's what that means for your checkride and your flying.
PatternThe 2016 ACS requires the stall warning to stay active throughout slow flight - here's the aerodynamics behind that standard and how to meet it on a checkride.
PatternSlow flight under the current ACS means flying just above the stall warning, not with the horn blaring - here's how to nail it.
PatternThe ACS slow flight standard requires flying just above stall warning activation, not with the horn blaring - here's how to nail it.
PatternSlow flight under the current ACS requires flying at the edge of stall indication, not holding a fixed airspeed above stall speed.
PatternSlow flight training teaches pilots how the region of reversed command changes control inputs, a skill critical for safe landings and pattern work.
PatternThe ACS redefined slow flight for checkrides - fly just above the stall warning, not on it.
PatternUnder the current FAA ACS, slow flight is flown above the stall warning - not at MCA. Here's how to fly it correctly and pass your checkride.
