Primary Flight Training: First Flight, Part 2

In this continuation of a prior government documentary short film, a pilot trainee continues his first flight instruction. His instructor demonstrates the use of ailerons, elevators, and rudder to control the plane in banks and turns, and illustrates the necessity of using them simultaneously in a coordinated manner. Occasionally, a less attentive pilot, McDribble, is shown failing properly to execute the maneuvers in the prescribed manner.
