CFI Teaching the Maneuvers 3: Steep Turns and the Steep Spiral

CFI flight training, teaching the maneuvers (knowledge and teaching points, no flight footage) — episode 3: Steep Turns and the Steep Spiral. A steep turn looks like a simple circle, but it is one of the best windows into a learner's flying: coordination, attention, the outside picture and the habit of looking for traffic all show up in one minute. The steep spiral adds a gliding descent around a point on the ground and links straight to emergency landings. This episode covers what each maneuver teaches, the aerodynamics to brief, how to demonstrate and build the skill, the errors to expect, and the safety margins, with DA40 NG numbers.
