Practicing rate 1 level turns, climbing turns, and descending turns in the Cessna 152 in MSFS

Next up on the student pilot syllabus is turns. Lots and lots of turns. In this video we look at "rate 1" turns - covering 3 degrees a second (or 360 degrees every 2 minutes) - using the turn coordinator. We practice level turns, climbing turns, gliding descending turns, powered descending turns, gliding descending turns with flaps, and finally side-slip descending turns.

It's all about learning the coordinations required for each method, and flying the aircraft in an accurate, safe manner. I make an instructive mistake in the video - described in the pinned comment - and I'm leaving it in - because that's how you learn these things.

Practice, practice, practice.
