“Man, that's amazing. How do you screw up a roll in a Lear?”

 

Answer: The same way newbies screw up rolls in any airplane… by failing to maintain aileron deflection and allowing the nose to drop.  Everyone can “fly” a roll in their mind, but the physical sensations are usually overwhelming the first time.  Speed builds up, pilot freaks out, then pulls too hard.  The airframe might or might not withstand the ensuing loads, and the pilot might or might not regain control before impacting terrain.

 

To state the obvious:

·         NEVER attempt aerobatics without prior instruction.

·         NEVER attempt aerobatics in an craft that was not designed for it.

·         NEVER attempt aerobatics below a safe altitude (1500AGL is the legal minimum, but not nearly enough for some acft and some maneuvers)
