Because trying difficult maneuvers in an airplane without an instructor can prove fatal. One Monday soon after I had made my solo flight. I was up practicing some
(remove E)
maneuvers. They were the most technically difficult feats a pilot is asked to perform, but such as figure-eights, slow flight, and steep turns. After about two hours
(add but)
I became bored with these maneuvers and decided to try something different. I had heard some old-time pilots talking about air-starting a plane (run on sentence) this is similar to roll, or clutch-starting a car. But it is done in the air. I decided to give it a try. I flew the plane to 17,000 feet; seven thousand feet above the rocky terrain; I shut off the engine. With the engine off, the plane began to sink rapidly. Ignoring the feeling of doom in the pit of my stomach. I pointed the nose of the plane toward the ground. When the airspeed indicator said I was speeding toward the ground at 130 miles per hour; I began to step on the rudders alternately, right , left, right, left, to turn the nose of the plane so that the wind would catch the propeller and spin it. My altitude dropped to 14,000 feet, the prop was not moving. I started to move the rudder faster, right, left, right, left. But still nothing. The ground was rushing toward me, just over 2,000 feet away, I still had no power. With less than 1,000 feet left; I realized I had not turned the key to back on. I wiped the sweat off my palms I turned the key to “on” I gave the rudder one last movement right, then left. With the wind screaming by me the prop turned once, then again, and finally the engine started. I pulled back on the yoke, the yank of gravity pressed me back into my seat, pulling the skin on my face tight against my cheekbones. I was within ten seconds of dying it was not the best feeling. Take my advice and never try a new maneuver without an instructor. He can find your faults; and possibly save your life!
