How to Properly "Trim" the Cessna 182
Fly along on a short, fully narrated trip from taxi, and take-off to landing in my modified Cessna 182. This aircraft has nose-mounted "canards" and a 260HP Fuel Injected engine that dramatically increases the performance!
I'll talk (and fly you) through the techniques required to properly trim the airplane correctly every time, how to maintain altitude during a turn without using any instruments, and how to know for sure you're using the rudder correctly!

The best explanation of aileron/rudder coordination anywhere ever.
Some trainers are book repeaters, and some trainers are TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS. Never enjoyed so much a video about trimming like now. New subscriber here. Keep it up. This is gold.

Thank You very much -Ben
One of the most informative Aviation videos I've seen on KZread!!! It's ridiculous I'm going to have to watch this 3-4 times for all the tips!!!
This is the first time that I understood what to look for outside of the plane for an indicator of coordinated/uncoordinated flight.

Very happy to hear that! Thanks
One of the best training videos I came across. Very well done and explain some of the basic relationships
Thanks for the video. you explain things very well, I always struggled with the pitch, power and its relationship to a consistent approach speed. It took a lot of hours to figure out that was my problem. I was fortunate enough to get a flight instructor who identified my problem and you explained it exactly the way he did and it saved me from giving up.
This was the best explanations I have seen on pitch for airspeed and power for altitude. you really cleared it up for me. Thank you
As a retired physics teacher and airplane enthusiast, I appreciate your practical and professional approach to training… thx👍
A lot of good info, streamed out in a clear up tempo manner. Well done, I learned a lot. Going to watch this a few more times.

Great teaching backed up by being a good stick.
I've got my Microsoft flight simulator on my Xbox two weeks ago and got very confused about those words about "trim", "flap" etc. I don't know what they are and what's the relationship between them. This video is by far the best one explaining those ideas.

Now all we need in flight simulators is that control wheel/stick force. I lost my medical a long time ago, and so am stuck to simulators. For the life of me, I try to remember how I set trim in a real aircraft, and the sim software doesn't behave exactly like I remember real airplanes doing. It's a bit frustrating sometimes.

I was always taught to taxi with the controls held back, to take the weight off the nose wheel. I will have to watch it again as I found the radio nose annoying and hard to hear what you are saying. The constant speed propeller can be daunting to a newbie. Thank you for lesson.
This is an excellent video! Very helpful explanations!! I look forward to more to come.

Good video, keep making these!
cool video! you are a good teacher
Wow . So clear
I can't help but think about the Hobbs time during that taxi.
When I used to fly my dad’s Cherokee Arrow, I never let the manifold pressure exceed the prop rpm; i.e., I reduced power to 24 inches first and then pulled the prop back to 2400 rpm. I did use the same method for trimming - apply pressure to the yoke to make an airspeed change and then trim the pressure off. If your arm is getting tired, you aren’t trimmed properly. The plane should always be trimmed to maintain a safe airspeed on its own..
Should do one on the constant speed prop! Many people are intimidated by the Blue knob
Your video is very so good!!! Thanks for share your knowledge!!!! Helps a lot!!! Coukd you made some video like that on a short landing-obstacle technique? 🙏🏽
Man, that looks so nice and easy…
This is much better than 7 hours of Sportys videos 😂
Please do a video for a Short field Landing technique (with obstacles) like that, would be very appreciated 🙏🏽
many thanks, im a sim pilot but all made perfect sense to me 8-)

I am also a sim pilot for the A2A Cessna 182T. This has been a big help for me.
Great video. I just went to get current in a 182 skyline but it’s a 260 horse carb model. Have not flown a 182 in long time. Under 550 hrs. I flew pretty good and made the worst few landings I’ve had since my first 5-8 hrs of flight training 😔. I am now afraid to land. I am in Goodyear AZ. I could use a good lesson or two from this CFI. I love flying but have “lost that lov’n feeling” just from a few not so good landings. Most of these CFI’s are young and not checked in a 182 and waiting on their airline jobs, so there’s no good CFI option. The plane is a rental from a facility that I know the owner of. Well maintained planes too. Please em mail. I want to get that feeling back again and not be afraid to land and maintain control and flying once on the roll out. Thanks.
Awesome
Most comprehensive
I enjoyed your video, very informative. Would you cover the avionics in your 182? Thanks
You're making me want to fly and get a license... ty I think😀
Thanks for sharing this very informative video. I'm just asking in all single aircraft available for private and family use do you recommend Cessna 182 and why please?
Now that was a landing.... holy cow. Can we get a detailed synopsis of the fuel mixture and how it’s used? Total newb level... Awesome video Ben
do you do flight lessons for PPL? Name a date and price :O.. awesome explanation and teaching
I am going to copy the script, paste it in word , edit out the time stamps then save it as a pdf for my own simulation purposes.
I have a cessna 182L 1968. I"m curious about your use of the prop control. I"m not sure which cfi told me to as soon as I am on the upwind to take her out of the red. I noticed you didn't for quite a while and then when you set to 2400 rpm you left it there. Again I'm curios cause my cfi told me to run square. Can you expand on that to why you didn't and if it's because of your training of this situation, and if you do change the prop control when in crews is running square the right thing to do. I enjoyed your video and enjoyed you explanation of the trim situation I can't wait to go up and try that. Thanks

I wondered about that too. I flew a Cherokee Arrow for a few years and I never ran it over-square. I'd pull the throttle back to 24 inches once I was at pattern altitude and then pull the prop back to 2400 rpm..
Might want to tighten that compass looks a bit floppy.
That's awesome!!! Are you a CFI ? Cause teach better than the cfi that i had.🤔
Are you the only runway for miles and miles? I don't hear the airport mentioned before and after the radio calls. Here in the Puget Sound airports are very close together.
What a kingly mf 😊
This video goes fantastic with Microsoft flight simulator
after reducing power as you get in close but keeping in a little bit during the roundout and flare, do you pull it all the way out as you're about to settle on the mains? Also, 60kts approach seems really slow compared to the 75 I've been recommended for the 182 we fly. Is this because it's not a retractable RG? I know speeds are different many times for the same airplanes depending on configurations....
Hi! Where can i find more videos of this CFI and what is his name?
Ok Captain
Did you add carb heat on your base. If no, why not? I just bought a Skylane here in Prescott and working on my ppl so I don't want to miss that critical step, assuming I should on every landing. Can you comment on that please. Thanks. Great video by the way. N3633U
@nerdsofflight7294

This aircraft is modified with a more powerful, fuel injected engine so it doesn’t have carb heat! If yours has a carb, I still very much recommend using carb heat at partial throttle settings.
Since you nailed the glideslope, airspeed, and power setting, you didn't have the opportunity to talk about what to do if your aim point moves up or down in the windshield.. ;-)
Question, During take-off, is your trim set to 0 or does it have some back pressure , maybe 5 or 10% ?
0:40 Is the compass _loose?_
Is that a Aspen E5?
Tell me more about these nose mounted canards. (What model 182 is this?)
@nerdsofflight7294
3 жыл бұрын
The Canards are part of an STC’d modification performed by Peterson Performance in Kansas. The mod is available for 182 P and Q models only. The canards dramatically change the low speed performance of these planes and allows them to fly at a much lower angle of attack for a given airspeed, which results in drastically improved short field performance! Take off in 390’ and land in 300’!

Yes, mine is the 260SE The Karmai has the Wing-X Stol extensions (18” per wing) Some like that but I prefer not to have them because it only produces about 4 knots lower stall speed, but at the expense of a lower VNe speed and a little less clearance for fitting in a 40’ wide hangar! All of them from the 230SE, 260SE to the Katmai, Kenai and the King Katmai are really terrific planes!

Are you still in action?
When you take power away, are you moving the throttle or prop ?

Technically, either would reduce the power but it’s quite uncommon to do it with the prop. So making power adjustments with the throttle and using manifold pressure as the gauge

@@chrissampson5549 Low pitch (aka high RPM or full forward position) is needed when an airplane is slow (during a take-off run and climbs). As you remember, prop blades are nothing more than another pair of wings (airfoils) in a vertical plane. This is a fine pitch position :::|> As you gain speed in cruise flight, it will start to create more drag (because relative wind shifts forward) and less horizontal lift, so you need to adjust them to this higher pitch position :::\> It's comparable to bicycle shifter or manual transmission in a car and it helps to operate your engine more efficiently at different speeds.
I bet going from manual trim to auto trim on an airliner must be a scary thing.
Are you an instructor at a school? You broke this thing down for a baby to understand.
Only thing I didn't like was that you didn't actually "use" the checklists for anything. I was taught from day 1 to treat every flight, in every airplane like an airline flight....always...did I say always?.....use the checklist.
@nerdsofflight7294

Thanks Gary, always appreciate input. Please do keep in mind however, that there are more than one type of checklists out there... “Read-then-do” is the most common for general aviation pilots, and is likely what you are referring to, but when someone has thousands of hours in a specific type, they could very well have committed the checklist to memory and choose to use the “recall-then-do” method. Just because you didn’t see me specifically pick up a piece of laminated paper doesn’t mean that I didn’t do my “checklist”! Think about it like this...when you first bake a cake, you follow the written recipe line for line, but after a thousand cakes you’d likely have the list of ingredients memorized and the order of operations as well so while you are physically doing all the same things...you aren’t physically reading the cook book while doing them! Now when you change the kind of cake you want to bake...you’ll want to revert back to the new recipe to make sure you don’t miss any ingredients or steps...much the same way I would advocate a physical checklist in a new or unfamiliar airplane! I realize that you, or your flight instructor may not agree with that, and I’m perfectly ok with that too! There are many good ways to stay safe in the air, and as long as you’re doing THAT, then all is well!
its Proper not properly
Excellent video!
