Bush Air Podcast — Episode 2: How to Explore the Envelope of Your Airplane.

In this episode, CC Pocock breaks down the single most important exercise every pilot should do to become familiar with the airplane they fly and especially before attempting any challenging flying — the familiarization and test flight. Whether you're heading into the backcountry, short fields, competing in STOL competitions, or just want to become a safer, more proficient and confident pilot, this episode covers everything you need to know.

What's covered:
Why you must explore the envelope — never push it
Determining the optimum center of gravity and why it matters more than most pilots realize
How to find your airplane's true optimum takeoff speed

Stall practice:
Why most pilots fear it, why they shouldn't, and how to get over it
The stall recovery method most flight instructors teach — and why CC thinks it's flat-out wrong
Recovering from uncoordinated stalls and wing drops through muscle memory
Slipping turns vs. skidding turns and the surprising safety advantage
How to determine your optimum stabilized approach speed

Key takeaway:
Your aircraft should be an extension of you — not the other way around. That only happens through deliberate, frequent practice.
