Airline pilots rehearse procedures in simulators long before they fly them for real. Student pilots can borrow the same idea for free: sitting in a chair at home, eyes closed, hands on an imaginary yoke, walking through each step of a maneuver out loud. Instructors call it chair-flying, and it’s one of the cheapest ways to make expensive flight lessons go further.
Chair-flying works best when you have a clear picture of the maneuver to rehearse. ASA’s Visualized Flight Maneuvers manual for high-wing aircraft supplies that picture, laying out maneuvers visually so the rehearsal at home matches what you’ll fly.
Quick answer: This listing (ASA-VHM-HI-5) is the ASA High-Wing Aircraft Visualized Flight Maneuvers Manual, a training manual that presents flight maneuvers visually for pilots in high-wing airplanes. It’s for students who want to rehearse maneuvers on the ground and instructors who brief with visuals, available on Skyfarer and at Skyfarer Shop.

How to chair-fly a maneuver
- Study the maneuver. Read it in the manual and note each step.
- Sit and set up. Imagine the cockpit, including where your airplane’s controls and instruments sit.
- Talk it through. Say each action and callout out loud, in order, from entry to recovery.
- Repeat until smooth. Run it several times, then fly it with your instructor.
Pilot tip: Use your own airplane’s POH numbers while you chair-fly. Rehearsing with the real speeds and power settings means there’s nothing to translate once you’re in the air.
