The Falling Leaf Exercise is
not unique to APS Emergency Maneuver Training. This exercise is a
great opportunity for the client to observe and experience flight
beyond the normal envelope at angles of attack greater than the
critical angle of attack. In addition to simply getting the
student's feet moving, the Falling Leaf Exercise is an excellent
demonstration of the aerodynamic reality of negative roll damping,
exponential drag affects and reverse aileron effect. The awareness
of and first-hand experience with negative roll damping is important
to the avoidance, understanding and recovery from the various stall
conditions, specifically uncoordinated
traffic pattern stalls covered later in the course.
