Takeoff Airspeed Requirements

Video Transcript

On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Rodney Fielitz. I'm a certified Flight Instructor in Cottonwood, Arizona. And I'm here to give you the basics of what it takes to become a pilot. Now we're doing is letting it accelerate in the air speed. Once it gets up there about sixty, bring in a little nose pressure letting the airplane fly. Now you can see what the wind is doing to me, it's pushing me. I pushed the nose down and let it accelerate. And a little bit bumpy today. Now we're going eighty-five knots and we're showing a six hundred foot per minute climb. Right now, all I'm doing is maintaining the air speed and maintaining the rate of climb. I just want to climb to get out of the valley here. We do have some mountainous terrain. See my fuel gauges, they show they're both about full. Well, we got seventeen gallons in each side. Never trust your fuel gauges. We got all kinds of radios in here. This is my speed; it tells me how fast I'm going through the air. This shows the pitch and bank, tells me my rate of turns. This shows my altitude that I'm climbing. This corresponds, shows how many feet per minute I'm climbing. And this shows the direction I'm going. This great instrument shows your turn bank. Turn, the bank shows, the ball shows you the coordination of the turn. So if you're outside of the ball, the balls outside, you got to put more rudder in. Or in this plane, I got rudder control. So I can sit there and turn it in. Well now we are descending, or climbing up the pattern. Climbing to five hundred foot per minute, and we're almost at five thousand feet above sea level.
