Nice video. Loved the Flying Eyes bit at the beginning. Made me chuckle. When I was learning I did a few of power off landings. Was quite fun to do. I completely fluffed the first as I introduced flaps a little too early and was well short of the runway! Forced myself into a go around but the next two I managed to get bang on!

Another great video. Power-off 180s were my favorite maneuver in Commercial!

I'm starting my commercial training soon so this video was perfect!!! (just like all your other videos) :)

I’m in the planning phase for something 👀

I am in the midst of my CPL training at the moment, in Canada. I have been having fun with power-off 180s and the challenge of doing them in different conditions, as it greatly changes how they play out. I was doing circuits the other day when the wind was 18G27 which made for some interesting times 😆 For reference, I am aiming to flare at about the 500' marks for touchdown on the 1000' marks with full flaps in a Cessna 172; it will definitely float farther with less flaps ⛵

@LewDixAviation

Жыл бұрын

Yea you’re flying a boat so make sure to practice your harbouring but sounds about right to aim for the 500 foot markers to touch down on the 1,000 foot markers. I’m not a fan of putting all flaps in immediately but in a 172 you kind of have to, to get the thing down in time haha

Practice, practice, practice and the site picture will come. Make sure to look to end of runway. If you think you flared to high and bleeding too much speed give it a bump of throttle to reset if you have enough runway, otherwise go around. Don’t settle for dropping it in, you hear the stall horn and feel your gonna drop harder than you want add a touch of power for a couple seconds to reset. It’ll come and part of the fun of learning.

Hey Lew Thanks for the video mate Quick Question what do you use to grab the ATC Audio ? i've been looking recording Traffic Calls with my GoPro

Love my FE Golden Eagles. ETA: is 13C's turn coordinator inop? I didn't see any bank on it during your left 360.

Try walking rudders only, dynamic proactive rudder, to bracket the centerline between your legs. And from Wolfgang in Stick and Rudder on page 302, "The 'stall-down' landing requires that you blend the approach glide, the flair-out, and the slowing up of the airplane all into one maneuver so that, when you arrive at ground level, you arrive in three-point attitude, all slowed up and ready to squat." And on 304, "The clue to watch is the intended landing spot and the scenery beyond it and to the sides of it. Once the normal glide has been broken, the process of stalling the airplane down can be gauged entirely by watching the spot and the perspective in which it appears and its apparent motion." We have lots of iterations of using the apparent brisk walk rate of closure, what we see from way back, to gauge the deceleration we make into every intersection or round about with our autos. By keeping the apparent motion the same, we decelerate properly coming into ground effect so that when we get into ground effect we don't float uncontrollably.

I love that book! It was the only thing that showed me the landing picture and suddenly I understood when to flare after I'd struggled for hours and hours not getting it. The only thing to remember is that for much of the book he is talking about tailwheel aircraft so the actual touchdown is different.

Just come to Kissimmee, you may have a fun time with a happy controller or you may be 3rd in line and have the grumpy controller! It's a roll of the dice :) haha

My Archer gives me fits trying to hit the cl on landing. When entering ground effect, the nose goes left and I miss it. Maybe not enough rr when entering ge?? IDK but its frustrating. Good vid! - I'm gonna try PO180 on my next solo. Prepping for the checkride.

No way this is Leesburg?! Haha I went there for my long cross country

Once the centerline is between our legs (optical, it will appear to be between both student and instructor's legs), we have longitudinal alignment. At this point we do not want to turn. Removing hands from yoke is a drill I use with students. Or jam your thump under one side of the yoke so when the student gets on that steering wheel he hits your thumb. Then say, "no aileron, no adverse incorrect yaw, rudder only, only correct yaw to bracket the centerline."

Notice that when you use the steering wheel to correct right, adverse yaw sends the nose left initially. Unless we lead rudder, there is no coordination. Dutch rolls will firmly establish that in your mind. The only way to nail the centerline and keep the centerline is use rudder only with correct yaw to bracket the centerline. We are better at any athletic thing when we move. Flat footed reaction is never a good, even if coordinated aileron and rudder. We actually say that wrong. It should be rudder and aileron. Wolfgang should have named the book, Rudder and Stick, even though he knew to lead rudder. We all did before modern airplane mitigated adverse yaw rather than eliminated it. Fred Weick eleminated adverse yaw with the Ercoupe but Pug Piper would only let him mitigate it with spring interconnect in your Cherokee. You can just use the steering wheel and be somewhat coordinated, but the nose will always go the wrong way first.

It’s precision maneuver as per the flying handbook

A handy mnemonic is which way it's going to move your nose if the handle hits you as you turn it. In the back of the head, it's nose down. In the forehead, it's nose up. The problem is, that only works from the left seat!

My DPE made me do this for my PPL. I had foggles on, and he was telling me to climb, descend, turn to heading... the normal stuff. He then said his plane, and take off the foggles. As soon as I said... "My plane" he killed the power (idle) and said... "Where are you landing?" We were close to a small aiport (one he is known to use) and I said... "Guess I'm lucky we are so close to Ebensburg. (just north of KJST) I nailed it because my CFI warned me he was known for doing it, even though it's a commercial requirement... and we practiced them a bunch. Once you figure out to stay a little high, but with proper glide speed... the rest is easy. Add flaps, and slip if needed. FYI... I was 3000' higher than the airport... and about 2 miles away from downwind. (Piper Warrior)Thanks for the vid.

I’ve never had a problem with extending flaps in a turn, but some people say that in the event of flap failure where one flap deploys and the other doesn’t, or one more than the other, you’re risking spinning. Obviously spinning at low altitude is highly dangerous. Their concerns are valid, but in practice I’ve never even come close to this happening. It’s very rare.

PARK it.. you clearly need instruction from Otto and his awesome personality as that wonderful CFI. ok serious question now. in the event of a total power failure, noise convertor no longer spinning, can you really use what you have practiced as a good example? I mean, yes there is no way to practice for real, unless you kill the engine, but i would, how much difference is there? If you practice and practice and know how your plane handles, (while the engine is idling, still producing some thrust), how much of that is out the window in the event of a complete failure.. for example, would you even make it to the runway, if you were at the downwind/base point and a 6 kt wind?
