Wow! Power Off 180s certainly an art form. I am going to try this technique next time! I like the "10 kts above glide" thing, that's pretty brilliant! Especially in a floaty Cessna. 😂
So what you said here is that both 10 and 20 degrees of flap have the same drag ratio? On say a 12kt headwind would you still be using 10-20 degrees flaps, 10knts over best glide speed to make the numbers? And, what if you're close to your max weight, would you still be using 10kts over best glide to make it?
Actually what I said was 10 deg. Gives you more lift than drag. 20 deg. Gives you roughly equal amounts lift and drag. Has nothing to do with the amount 10 deg. Gives you, just that the amount of lift and drag incurred is about the same when you go to 20 deg of flaps. You throw out a lot of variables there and there is no one answer. The simplest way I can respond to that is yes, I use this technique no matter what the circumstances are. But every approach is different and you will never fly any two approaches the same. Here is another video that might help too. 👍 ua-cam.com/video/cbD3DM68eIw/v-deo.html
1:54 you say you can put 10 degrees of flap to extend your glide. Airplane Flying Handbook Figure 9-1, 9-2 show less glide with flaps down. The only time I can see using flaps to extend glide is with a good bit of tailwind. Is there a reference for your airplane showing better glide with flaps down 10 deg?
So maybe I was unclear in the video but I did not mean to imply that you’d get a BETTER glide with 10 flaps… I mean that at the end of your glide, 10 flaps can be used to give you a short extension under the right circumstances. You can see a demonstration of this in my other video here… towards the end 👍 ua-cam.com/video/KGodYYaANWg/v-deo.htmlsi=OufsBVxE9Eib0Szj
I think the fly fly fly was what gave her the extra lift, good tips man!
Haha thanks man ;-)
Hearing the stall warning right at touchdown is where you want to be. Nice work

Let me know how it goes! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Best instructions on p180 so far
Thank you!
still is the best video to explain it a year later
