There are phases of flight when it’s critical that you know how to handle the airplane at slower speeds. Departure and arrival are two of the most critical phases of a flight and involves flying the airplane slow while being very close to the ground. When an airplane exceeds its critical angle of attack, an aerodynamic stall happens.

Flying at 60 knots? You’ll have to determine the correct point for your particular airplane, but once you do, you can set up your downwind leg perfectly for any runway. For example, it’s good practice to add a few knots to V-ref when landing in gusty conditions. 60 x 5 = 300 feet per minute is your recommended descent rate.

The higher speed creates extra lift, causing the airplane to bank further into the turn. The pilot’s job is to prevent the airplane from banking too quickly or too far. In our example, the right wing has more lift, and thus more drag, than the left wing as the airplane rolls. Let’s look at why this happens.
