Slow Flight

Harry's YouTube video on slow flight



Here is a 58 hour private pilot applicant doing the same on a checkride. Anyone can fly like this, you need need to feel the plane and trim it.



From the Private Pilot ACS;
PA.VII.A.S3 ... Establish and maintain an airspeed at which any further increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or reduction in power, would result in a stall warning (e.g., airplane buffet, stall horn, etc.).
PA.VII.A.S4 ... Accomplish coordinated straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents with the airplane configured as specified by the evaluator without a stall warning (e.g., airplane buffet, stall horn, etc.).
PA.VII.A.S5 ... Maintain the specified altitude, ±100 feet; specified heading, ±10°; airspeed, +10/-0 knots; and specified angle of bank, ±10°.

From the Commercial Pilot ACS;
CA.VII.A.S3 ... Establish and maintain an airspeed at which any further increase in angle of attack, increase in load factor, or reduction in power, would result in a stall warning (e.g., airplane buffet, stall horn, etc.).
CA.VII.A.S4 ... Accomplish coordinated straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents with the aircraft configured as specified by the evaluator without a stall warning (e.g., airplane buffet, stall horn, etc.).
CA.VII.A.S5 ... Maintain the specified altitude, ±50 feet; specified heading, ±10°; airspeed, +5/-0 knots; and specified angle of bank, ±5°.
