  • Private Pilot landings and takeoffs in a Cessna 172. Windy gusty day for private pilot landing practice but the student still put some pretty good ones together anyway. ~

      Yeah, it's brilliant hearing them always chatting about where they could land if need be at the start. Really important to think about that in winds. Also good that the student is thinking about how the pattern flying of otehr planes is affecting his decision making and the possible consequences.

  • @chasemorgan7545
    @chasemorgan7545 4 роки тому +25

    Not sure how I feel about the landing technique the instructor is teaching. He keeps power in for too long, and ends up using half the runway to bleed it off. Everyone flies a bit differently, but I personally go power to idle once I know the runway is made and try to touch down by the 1000 foot markers. Gives much more room if you need to stop quickly or go around.

    • @imac84
      @imac84 4 роки тому +3

      That's how I was taught too. Idle once the runway is made.

    • @NEROAviation
      @NEROAviation  4 роки тому +12

      Idle once runway is made works fine... power is a tool you can use to land it’s not one you have to use.
      I teach short field landing technique In the next stage. These are just normal landings and I encourage minimal breaking and using aerodynamic breaking and energy management to exit at the midfield taxiway as it lessens wear and tear on the aircrafts tires/breaks.
      Thanks for watching ! I’ll try to get a short field / soft field video up at some point.

  • @hogey74

    Nice vid! This is a different kind of circuit to what I learned. You're turning at 700ft agl, staying a lot tighter then you descend much more steeply and land much further down the runway. Interesting. You have a lot more vertical speed in that last segment too. At 30:07 I thought it looked about right but you guys judged it low. I like the rainy day flying too!

    As a new pilot, flying by yourself, you have to talk to yourself as this instructor is talking to this guy. Adjusting flaps and speed, looking for visual indicators regarding wind, looking for air traffic in the vicinity, and a half dozen other things all going on at once. Lots of work! You really have to know what to do and why you're doing it.

      Great job! It’s not as easy as riding a bike but it comes back pretty quick! I really like reading the airplane flying handbook it’s free to download and every time I read it I learn something! The section on landings is really well written and the landing errors section is helpful.
      A little power can help smooth out those landings.
      In a Cessna 172n I like 1100 rpm on landing.
      Also use trim!
      I have been getting beat up in the Beaver for not using trim.
      “If you let go of the controls nothing should change “ “let the plane do the flying”.
      I always liked flying they plane so I was not using much trim and I regret it now that I’m trying to fly commercially.

    Nice landings but for my taste they're too high. Nothing's etched in stone but I normally carry 70kts if there's a xwind or gust with minimal flaps.
    I notice a lot of instructors insist on teaching flaps flaps flaps on every landing. It's actually good to practice on days with xwinds and learn how to use minimal flaps. Gives less surface area and better control especially if you're slipping the landing. Overall good instructor though.

    Great video and great, instructor and attitude! Curious- do you not teach your students to use trim during landings, just rely on forward/back pressure on the yoke? Haven't flown a 172 in years, and the last ones I flew all had the manual trim wheel between your legs (manual flaps too) but we were always taught to trim them on landing. Anyway, Cheers!

      The pressure on the yoke is not all that different than level flight once you have full flaps and power at about 1100 rpm on final approach in a 172.
      Trim is a great tool and I use it more in other aircraft.
      Thanks for watching and the great question ! I don’t use trim enough ...good catch.

      Why are some pilots so eager to trim? Especially Cherokee pilots with the overhead handle....Geez. Trim for straight and level cruise flight and then use the yolk as God intended for everything else. Is the extra pressure on the yolk so bothersome? I just don't get it.

    Thx for this video from a french pilot (PPL). Most of my flights on cessna 150/152 during my training. Now having more than 5 hours on 172 and still working on my landings and many other pilots told me about this method to add some power during the flare....

    • @NEROAviation
      @NEROAviation  5 років тому +1

      Thanks for watching ! Power is just an extra tool to use ... if your floating down the runway smoothly bring it out as you add back pressure.
      You’ll find the sweet spot between too much and too little power
      I just soloed the student from the video and he did a great. job!

    Can't argue with the results, but I felt the instructor was micromanaging. He never stopped talking. Depends on what stage the student was at I guess.

      Well, it can also depend on your learning style, age, etc. I'm an auditory learner and a bit older than most who start flying, so I like the chatter myself, but I can see for others it may be too much. Also, fwiw, I've watched a bunch of videos for people practicing landings and this seems normal? ::shrugs::

    Carb heat should go back to cold at about 250-300 feet so you have max power available if you need to go around. It,s also good to do down wind checks including undercarriage even though cessna have fixed under carriage so it's routine when you move up to complex aircraft.

    • @NEROAviation
      @NEROAviation  4 роки тому

      When it comes to carb heat I default to whatever the POH says. Cessna did a nice job of putting the carb heat in an easy to reach position for the go around.
      A GUMPS check isn’t a bad idea to get in the habit of using.
      I use the before landing checklist when returning to the pattern and I teach a T check but I don’t require students to use it for pattern work.
      Thanks for the suggestions / observations. I like the idea of incorporating the GUMPS check in Private Pilot training

      I learned from a military instructor. He pushed both me and the plane to the limits. He would argue with ATC when needed and had a great attitude towards flying. His attitude was "im the one in the pilot seat, not ATC" if they ask you to do something that is beyond you or the planes capabilities just say "UNABLE" and let them figure out what to do. Yet when flying into a VERY busy airport in NY, we were just about over the numbers, the ATC told us to keep speed up as we had a A320 eating our rudder. He said if we could take a different runway or go around that would be better. He told ATC he would take another runway to land, stood on the rudder, and turned almost 90° to land on another runway. (winds were calm) I thought the wingtips were gonna eat dirt. The tower thanked him and immediately cleared the A320 to land.
      During flying he would pull the engine to idle and say "engine quit, what do you do?" If I said "ahhh" he would interrupt me and yell "Your dead! Never think! Just DO, during an emergency. Aviate, navigate, and communicate in that order"
      We would constantly review emergency procedures water landings, mountain landings, highway landings etc. I was always prepared for an emergency if various types. Once i took off a d i heard a loud bang followed by tremendous noise and clanging from the engine. He was in the right seat and told me "tell the tower we are coming back, I got the plane" I suggested to shut off the engine for fear of fire of it blowing up. He yelled at me "Never shut the engine off unless its on fire or peices are flying off it" when we landed CFR came out to meet us, followed us to the ramp, we shut down and a mechanic investigated and discovered the exhaust manifold gasket blew out causing the bang and loud noise. The clanging was the manifild rattling. It was scary

      Ripcord! Thanks for watching ! Time building is the sad truth of flight instruction. It’s the blind leading the blind a lot of times. On a positive note there are lots of great instructors out there you just have to search a bit sometimes.
      When your a instructor you can go out of your way to make sure your students have a better experience.

We were about 100' off the deck and I said "you take it, i cant land this" he sat there with his arms folded and said "you better land it, or we're going to die". He was very calm and cool

  • @SiuSiuSiu1970

    Nice instructor for sure! But, it is an quite comfortable field to land on ! If you were in Belgium, for instance, with a grass airfield of 600m - so only 1960 feet - you REALLY have to touch down ON the threshold ! Otherwise... guess what would happen ! So, keeping the aircraft on low power and providing more power if needed to increase altitude is a better way to handle short airfield !

    • @NEROAviation
      @NEROAviation  4 роки тому

      Yeah I wish the school let us practice on some tougher runways occasionally... but they are all about risk mitigation ( rightly so ). We have a few runways around that would make you feel right at home 1800ft , grass and even trees 🌲.

    • @NEROAviation
      @NEROAviation  5 років тому +1

      Eduardo , I hang it from the front windshield on the copilot side so I don’t bug the student ( I would like to have it on their side ). I try to put it just below my eye level and slightly between us so it’s doesn’t block my or the students view.
      I’m also finding I like to point the camera down a bit so you can see the full yoke movement as it makes for a better video I think .
      Thanks for watching!
      The GoPro 7 is awesome for flight and has handled most micro vibration . I have only had a couple minutes of unusable video on take off.
      Good luck filming your flights it’s cool to have the memory’s and the video !
      If you have an older GoPro a suction cup on the Rosen visors ((if installed ) ( tinted see through visor )) can smooth out the vibration and give good video.

    • @NEROAviation
      @NEROAviation  4 роки тому

      I find that beginning students have better landings if they aren’t worried/thinking about the takeoff.
      Try watching at your local airport... I’m guessing you might see crappy landing then a crappy takeoff over and over again. Most of the good landings are full stop it seems like ( if you see any lol).

      I just started learning landings and at a smaller airport like the one shown, or Enumclaw, if there is not a long wait, then for me personally at least I prefer it as it it just more reps in terms of getting the aircraft configured after landing, which lights I have to change, taxing practice, radio calls, and yet more practice for my takeoffs and learning the pattern. My $.02 anyway, YMMV.

    • @NEROAviation
      @NEROAviation  4 роки тому +1

      The black control to the left of the throttle is the carburetor heat... this is an older carbureted Cessna. Any time you reduce power to below the green arc it’s suggested you use carburetor heat.
