U.S. NAVY PRIMARY FLIGHT TRAINING FILM HOW TO LAND A PLANE 53734
This 1945 nonclassified US Navy training film, “Primary Flight Training Landings,” opens with a naval lieutenant (mark 00:30) reviewing a “power off” landing accompanied by filmed footage of the procedure. Aided by illustrations (mark 02:45), the narrator continues his explanation of stalled landings - comparing the movements of a Stearman biplane to that of a bird. Wind direction as it relates to landings is addressed beginning near mark 03:15, followed by standard landing procedures (mark 05:00) and a warning against “ballooning” (mark 05:40) which could cause a plane to gain lift. “The ideal landing is the landing you make out of a glide,” explains the narrator at mark 07:38, and as it continues the viewer sees potential pitfalls of landing outside a wind line including being thrown about a field upon landing (mark 08:00). The narrator’s explanation continues with an explanation of a pilot being able to “feel” a landing (mark 10:43) and the importance of a pilot honing all their senses to successfully execute a landing

Power off, three point. Amazing! Current day airplane drivers just don't believe this.
That's Alfalfa from the Little Rascals portraying Mac Dribble.
After you have done enough touch and go landings, the sensations become part of your muscle memory and you can easily make good landings. General Yeager used to say: "Any landing you can walk away from was a good landing." "If you can still use the plane the next day, it was an outstanding landing."

After watching this; I'm ready to land a Hornet on a Carrier.
"Don't concentrate on any one thing," says the instructor at 4:49. "Divide your attention and see everything at once." I suppose that this film was made before this approach became summarized in the term "scan." Keep up a scan of instruments, aircraft attitude and general situational awareness.

Flight instruction hasn't changed much because aerodynamics hasn't changed at all.

Ground is just as hard. Worse of all, human pilot still comes standard with same faults as in 1906.

There were some Army Pilots like Chuck Yeager, Bob Hoover, and Jimmy Doolittle, who would fly the P-40, the P-38, the P-51 and the P-47. They were all airplanes, designed to fly, and the pilots had only to learn their peculiar systems and take them up for a spin.
Instructions unclear, currently being held captive in the USSR.
Is that Robert Taylor playing the instructor?

He's not merely "playing" the instructor - he was a U.S. Navy flight instructor during WWII.

I cringe a little every time I see someone wheel land a Stearman.

Why?
"You may be tense on your first few landings, but the sooner you get over that..." Old school slap across the face, snap out of it and stop being a baby training.
I HATE TAIL DRAGGERS!!!!! I HATE TAIL DRAGGERS!!!!! All I do is ground loop , round and round ground loop. No matter how much I do the rudder dance , it still ground loops and loops and loops.

@@alaskaaksala123 excellent point. I learned on a cub, which will not fly w/out rudder input.
