The thing they don't teach you in CFI school is how to rest your jaw after 8 hours of ..."right rudder, rudder, Rudder, Right rudder!, Right Rudder! RIGHT RUDDER!, my controls"

What if your are are a CFI in France where the props turn the wrong way?

"left rudder" just falls flat.

Naw man, you've gotta know the trick about "more right rudder."

As you can see, when you're doing power on stalls, it only works for so well. I told my students "more right rudder" through three stalls. After that, we'd climb to about 7,000' and I'd have them do a power on stall and say nothing.

After about their second time putting the airplane through a solid half turn in a spin they'd figure it out REALLY fast.

Seriously, their power on stalls progressed MUCH faster once I just let them start to spin it a little bit. Then they'd always say, "Oh WOW! I get it now! It just didn't make any sense until I saw it develop!"

Just make sure you have enough altitude to recover. Normally I'd do it with my feet on the rudder pedals and arms folded and they'd say,

"OH MY GOD WHAT'S HAPPENING! WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!"

"Try some right rudder?"

".......HOLY CRAP YOU WERE RIGHT!"

I miss teaching. Or more so I miss those students, they were a lot of fun to fly with.

That is exactly what I did with my hardcases, train and I agree, it only took maybe 2 times.

The best feeling in the world is to hear a pilot you trained with his mother in the airplane making correct radio calls and landing the airplane safely.

Honestly, I feel have "made the world a better place, by a garden patch or a happy child or a ..." hard headed student who finally learned the importance of RIGHT RUDDER!!!!!!!

(Of course I'm relegated to the prop world right now, so I've got the same right rudder lock-jaw).

Same here... great way to teach them what to do with their feet... even better in a PA-18 or a 8KCAB.
