Don’t forget the rudder pedals, with Wally Moran

from Pilot's Discretion from Sporty's · host Sporty's Pilot Shop

From the Lockheed Constellation to the Boeing 747 to competition gliders, Wally Moran’s flying career has covered an incredible variety of airplanes. He describes some key concepts that have stayed the same across all those airplanes, from using the rudder properly to managing technology, plus his personal connection to the TWA 800 tragedy and his advice for successful checkrides (he has given more than 2400). In the Ready to Copy section, Wally shares what he looked for when hiring airline pilots, the best place to fly gliders, and his favorite aviation books.* Wally’s webinar on rudder use: https://pilotworkshop.com/videos/rudder-skills-back-basics/* TWA 800 review: https://www.ntsb.gov/news/events/documents/moriches_ny-TWA_800_Overview.pdf* PilotWorkshops Mastery: https://pilotworkshop.com/products/vfr-mastery/
