Hey AeroCast fans...
If your airplane could talk, it would say that it misses centerline and desperately wants to go back. When left uncorrected, bad habits and techniques can lead to serious directional control issues during takeoffs and landings.  Poor adherence to the runway centerline can many times lead to an unfortunate and prompt departure off the side of a runway which can snap a runway light, break your airplane or much worse.  Use this latest AeroCast episode with your instructor to supplement your training and to gain a more solid foundation for proper techniques required to maintain centerline and directional control during takeoff and landing.  Leave us some comments on YouTube and iTunes and let us know what you think of this episode and chime in if you have suggestions for future AeroCast content.  Have Fun and Fly Safe!

On Centerline: Where an Airplane Belongs (1080p)

After a hiatus, the UND AeroCast is back!  Capping the Commercial Maneuvers series of videos, Master CFI Mike Lents is back at it again.  The Lazy Eights maneuver is anything but lazy.  It's designed to teach the pilot how to keep the controls constantly moving while learning all about control precision and smooth pilot input.  Understanding the anatomy of the maneuver is key, by planning ahead to hit certain values at different accuracy points.  Wow, that's sounds like a lot of stuff.  Watch the video to see the details of the Lazy Eight unfold.  Let us know what you think in the comments.  Have Fun and Fly Safe!

The massive, complex flight training operation conducted daily at UND Aerospace exists only because of many people working towards the common goal of achieving the highest standard of aviation safety. At UND, we understand that human flight, inherently, is a very dangerous undertaking - the mere notion is a bit absurd. But through decades of experience, we also know how to make it safe. This movie outlines the layered process of making every flight safe at UND Aerospace.

UND CFI's Mike Lents and Anthony Bottini take a deep dive into the Eights On Pylons maneuver in the Cessna 172SP and explore the various planning elements and pilot techniques that are necessary to make this maneuver work just right. Mastering this commercial maneuver is all about learning how to constantly divide your attention and control the aircraft smoothly and predictably.
