    We live in a temperate climate and I did 40 deg flap landings and take offs, however just because you can does not mean you should, it is a great facility to have for landing if you need it. Just be aware you need to be on the ball if you overshoot,( it does want to pitch up when you open the throttle) and not at all if you are in a Hot & High environment.

    Back when I was a young and dumb pilot in '66, I slipped a 150 with the flaps extended, and found out how short a distance you can land a 150. I never tried that again.

    I view 40 degrees as a great blessing I love it. I read that the reason they changed Cessnas to 30 was because people would flare to soon (steeper approach) and stall to high over the runway.

    On the subject of carb ice... When you have no ice and you close the throttle, the throttle plate is rigged to still be open enough so that the engine will idle. So, you close the throttle and the throttle plate is blocking most of the air, but still lets enough past to keep the engine idling. When you're flying in icing conditions and ice is forming, the throttle plate is open enough, so air can still get past the ice. As someone else pointed out, the governor will mask the presence of the ice by opening the throttle more to compensate for the ice restricting airflow. Manifold pressure will read normally, there really isn't any way to know the ice is present unless you build up enough ice to require the throttle to be wide open. At that point you may see a loss of RPM. So, if you've built up some ice and then close the throttle, there may not be enough clearance between the throttle plate and the ice, so that not enough air can get by to idle the engine. At that point the engine stalls. In an airplane, the windmilling propeller keeps the engine turning, so when you open the throttle, the engine starts back up, and you may not even realize it had stopped idling. But of course, in the helicopter the freewheeling unit lets the engine stop, and unless you're at several thousand feet, trying to restart it is probably a mistake - your time is better spent getting a good auto set up. The carb ice placard on the R22 is because of one day at my flight school. They had three engine failures due to carb ice, but it wasn't until the chief flight instructor had one that they believed him that the carb air temp gauge was out of the yellow arc. BTW, my instructor was one of the other two who had engine failures. His was on an entry to an auto, so they landed on the runway. One of the other two failures ended up landing off airport. Robinson determined that the carb air temperature probe was not actually at the coldest part of the throat, and thus the "below 18" use full heat" placard was introduced. The probe is in the coldest location in the R44 ( because it was engineered after all that ) thus that gauge is accurate, but it makes sense to still teach the R22 procedure in case pilots are flying both types.

  • @shawnedwards5369
    @shawnedwards5369 3 місяці тому

    I don't remember whose channel I saw it on, but I loved the concept of "curling your fingernails" over the throttle to prevent turning it the wrong way. With your left hand on the throttle and wrist bent such that your fingers are curved all the way around, fingernails visible, you can only turn the throttle one way; closed.

    I attribute my success in the CFI check-ride to Paul, even though we never met. His instructional videos stand out as some of the best available online. You can recognize his deep understanding of the subject by the simplicity and clarity of his explanations. His absence will be a significant loss to the helicopter community but his legacy stands strong in these videos, he will continue to teach generations of pilots.

    Had an unusual incident back in the late 1960s with a 150. It was the really old version with a mechanical flap handle between the seats. I was trying short takeoffs and landings. I wanted to land and stop in the same length of runway that it took for the takeoff. It just wasn't happening and in my frustration, I took off twice with 40 degrees of flaps hanging down. In my state of frustration, I went from 40 degrees flaps to zero in about 2 seconds. Didn't tear anything up but both times, I ricocheted off the runway after making an unintended touch and go.

  • @jimmydulin928
    @jimmydulin928 3 місяці тому

    Your solution with the overfly the tractor and land on the remaining runway was a good decision. I have actually taught students this technique rather than the sometimes dangerous go around. Too many bounces early on long runways are followed by go around when just adding power and making a soft field type slow and soft landing with power on the runway remaining. Dan could have done the same in the grass, but after attempting go around landing in the corn was the next best decision. I think you and Cessna and the insurance man have a good point with the only 30 degrees flap in the 152, but the 40 degrees Fowler flaps are what make all the single engine Cessnas much safer airplane. Far less tin and skin are hurt at 20-30 ground speed vs. 40-50 ground speed. And when we pipeline patrol pilots, who fly all day in whatever wind is around, need to increase our headwind component by angling across in a strong crosswind from the downwind corner to the upwind big airplane touchdown zone marking, we can use the power/pitch you mention to land safely in the thousand feet available before turning on down the upwind edge of the runway at very slow airspeed. With 40 degrees we can easily decelerate to get a sink going that allows us to bring the throttle into dynamic play as the most excellent glide angle and rate of descent control. This amount of dynamic control (yes move the throttle like the control it is) allows putting the mains on the exact downwind corner every time with the assurance of the maneuver never in doubt. Removing the need to round out and hold off, same as Wolfgang's "stall down approach" makes this a snap. Good video. Thank you.

I had no idea he was a Doc till he did his funny video about it. You'll never forget anything about him, but thankfully it won't always hurt as much as it does now. Ricky May
