"When you can walk away from the aircraft it's a good landing, when you can re-use the aircraft, it's a perfect landing". I see nothing but a perfect landing here!
The stall warning goes off a little early for a good reason mate, I already said you were coming in to slow & you nearly couldn't control it, in crosswind & turbulence need to come in faster using less than full flap
Yes, centerline control during both landing and takeoff is critical to pattern work, as well as flying SIDS, STARS and IAPS (Standard Instrument Departures, Standard Terminal Arrival procedures and Instrument Approach Procedures). But hey! You'll get there! No doubt you'll have these down pat very soon.
Thanks Tim. Yes, I did use a sticky mount… The lesson I learned a while ago is to always use a brand-new sticker. I did lose a camera reusing a sticker last year…!
My instructor, always said a landing you can walk away from is a good landing learn from your mistakes and move on. I had a near disaster last summer going into Gamston, hot and humid weather, and the plane was falling out the sky I just about wrestle it onto the ground using near enough full power!!
Even pilots with many hundreds of hours experience (and I'm not one of them) will not make a perfect landing every time - turbulent or not. But that is what makes landing tail-draggers so enjoyable (even exciting sometimes!). Although the book for the Robin (or is that a Jodel?) says to make a 3-pointer every time, I am told, a wheely can usually more successful in trying conditions. Oh! and keep away from hard runways. Stick to the grass!
Ha ha yes, it’s a Jodel. I prefer to takeoff on the paved runway and land on the grass runway, but unfortunately the grass runway has been closed for awhile due to water logging. Thanks for your comment, Alan.
Who on earth is sqeezing the stick like that? And who lifts the wrong wing, having some crosswind? And who waits until he has almost left the tarmac? He does.
its not a bad landing by any means.. the airplane has a high angle of attack at 3pt position, must be a hard airplane to learn landing. at that position, the aileron wouldnt be as effective, leaving you with just rudder to play with. probably best to approach with wheel landing until touch down and transition to 3pt at ground as fast as possible to allow tailwheel steering.
You were coming in about 5- 8 kts to slow for a crosswind landing, coming in on a stall warning is dangerous & have less control, to keep it on centre line need to tilt wing into wind & land on windward main first using opposite rudder in puts, you had the controls all over the place because you were coming in to slow!

Thanks for the encouragement! 😅

Good job! was very turbulent or gusty
Thanks!
I have seen much worse Mark. Did you use a standard sticky mount on the top surface of the wing and how did it work?

Don’t beat yourself up, we all make bad ones but learn from the process. Im jealous you’re able to fly as our weather is being so unfair!
Thanks Mark! It’s been terrible weather here until very recently.

Thanks! I always prefer landing on grass when the conditions are like this, but unfortunately the grass runway was waterlogged and closed.

Hey not so bad, nobody hurt and you can use the aircraft again! Arcachon….. ? My wife and I brought our Comanche in for lunch late last year.
Hey thanks! Next time you visit Arcachon, get in touch.
Well there are worst ones and in a taildragger it's way harder in windy conditions
Thanks! 😅

And who on Earth does things perfectly? You do I guess. Stay humble, mate 😉

Thanks for your comment. I’ll be back practicing tomorrow if the conditions are similar.

Hi, thanks for your comment. For info the stall warning on this particular Jodel is a little too sensitive and does start about 5 kts too soon.
