I hope you find these videos helpful to see what it is like to perform these procedures and maneuvers. However keep in mind they only scratch the surface. For more detail, you should dig into these Airman Certification Standards (ACS):
• FAA-S-ACS-6B (Change 1) Private Pilot Certification Standards
• FAA-S-ACS-7A Commercial Pilot Certification Standards
• FAA-S-ACS-25 Flight Instructor for Airplane Category Airman Certification Standards
In these videos, my main goal is to share what it’s like to fly these maneuvers in a Twin Diamond. I hope you enjoy them. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE if you do!
