This allows the airspeed to slowly dissipate while the airplane is flown just above the surface in ground effect. When the wheels first touch the ground, the proper technique allows the wings to continue supporting much of the weight of the airplane.

Common mistakes include neglecting clearing turns, delaying stall recovery, and misusing the rudder. As you increase the throttle, anticipate the need to add more right rudder. Keep an eye on the turn coordinator and nudge the rudder in the direction it indicates. Use the rudder to stay coordinated. What Is Slow Flight?

An incomplete summary description of FASF is whether the airplane made it out of ground effect. I think that currently, the most improvable aspects of general aviation safety likely will include improving basic flying skills including rudder usage and stall and slow flight well beyond ACS standards.

I immediately pushed in the spoilers, hit hard right rudder, and hard right stick. It is important to maintain the extra speed until I get into ground effect where the risk of descending into a sudden tail wind no longer exists. I turned final about 400 feet north of the runway about 180 feet above the runway.

It will serve almost exclusively coastal regions and use existing dock infrastructure, flying 20 to 30 feet above the water using ground effect. And so much of pilot training is learning the feel, the stick and rudder, the takeoff, the flare,” Thalheimer told FLYING at DriftX. I’m a pilot.
