Flys a bit better with a case of oil in the back. With just you and an instructor up front I found it always came in rather flat in the flair. Have to use both hands to pull that yoke back and keep the nose up.
Very nice, I'm glad I caught you and your great looking Seneca! I'll post another video I got of it from Monday soon, I should get it up this Friday morning.
I remember these well from the early Seventies !! Flew in one a few times from Bristol Airport...Still preferred the PA-23 Aztec though...lol...Steve.-:)
Great footage! However, from a pilot technique standpoint, I still don't understand why there are so many pilots who are reaching for the flaps as soon as they touchdown. They are still at high speed, and maybe even a bit squirrelly due to wind gusts, and they go head's down -- or at least at a weird angle -- to reach down and fiddle with the flaps, which probably shaves 100 feet off the landing distance and runs the risk of grabbing the gear by mistake. If you're not trying to extract every inch out of your runway -- and they clearly aren't here -- then it seems like a very unnecessary risk, in my opinion.
Good point about there being a possible distraction however, in this plane the flaps lever is in between the two front seats on the floor. The gear level is on the panel. There is no way to mistaken the two here. Also it's a split second decision. He's adding that extra weight on the main gears to slow the plane down to make sure he stops short of the end of the runway. I trained in a Piper Tomahawk which has the flap lever in the exact same spot. It became so natural to me when I did landings and touch and goes where that flap lever was that I didn't even have to look down for it.
Actually it looks to be a Seneca III due to it's one piece windshield so that also mean 220 HP per engine at 2800 RPM and then after take off back to 200 HP at 2600 RPM
its a seneca 2 with the lo presti speed mods which are the cowls and wing tips and there is a STC for a single piece windscreen for both the seneca 1 and 2
That approach, dude, wow!
It's so beautiful around the airport, inside the plane I can't imagine
Ya, CZNL definitely has some stunning landscapes surrounding it. Thanks very much for watching!
Beautiful seneca! Great video!

Incredibly beautiful!!!! The Seneca is beautiful of course, but the scenery....... Wow!!

These mountains look very scary tbh.. Pilot did an excellent Job on approach
Ya, there is definitely some challenging terrain around CZNL!
I'm flying a Piper Seneca I for my multiengine add on. Wonderful airplane. Flies great, very stable, and very pilot friendly.
Nice, that must be a lot of fun flying the Seneca!
TheHDAviation It is. Not sure if you fly too but if you ever get a chance to take a lesson in one, you should definitely take the chance.
Flys a bit better with a case of oil in the back. With just you and an instructor up front I found it always came in rather flat in the flair. Have to use both hands to pull that yoke back and keep the nose up.
super cool video ,love the seneca 👍
Same here, one great little aircraft!
Great view of the approach, good for a flight school.
Thanks a lot!
Wonderful video as always! I would love to fly on a plane like this sometime!
Thanks very much! Me too, bet they're a lot of fun to fly in.
What a beautiful looking seneca landing in beautiful scenery! What's not to like?! :D
Thanks very much!!
The Piper Seneca great equipment
That landing was sexy smooth!
The pilot did a great job!
TomCook1993 ...yeah.
Great video.
Thanks a lot!
i will try this approach on my flight sim 🙂
It should be a fun airport to fly into on Flight Sim!
That is me and my aircraft thank you for that video my friend don’t have a video better than that!!
Very nice, I'm glad I caught you and your great looking Seneca! I'll post another video I got of it from Monday soon, I should get it up this Friday morning.
TheHDAviation amazing video thank you you must be a professional photographer. Thanks again
Just one of my hobbies. I try to make it to the airport as much as I can for some spotting.
TheHDAviation you certainly do a fantastic job
Thanks, I appreciate it!
I remember these well from the early Seventies !! Flew in one a few times from Bristol Airport...Still preferred the PA-23 Aztec though...lol...Steve.-:)
Nice, that must have been fun flying in the Seneca. I love the look of the Aztec as well, wish one would stop by CZNL some day!
very good
I fly that in FSX, that engine's are so "bulbous"(?) you can't see over them! Great video once again!
I was thinking that too when I saw it, they really seem to stick out far and block a lot of the view from the cockpit. Thanks a lot!
Yes same here. I fly it using fs9 still lol.
I’d love to fly one oh these bird. Great catch....
This one was really nice to see, a great looking little aircraft. Thanks for watching.
The Seneca is gorgeous and easy to fly--a pussy cat in the air.
They put the flaps up right after the touchdown ???
Muito bom!
👏👏👍😃
Beatiful Landing. crosswind down. good bye of Buenos Aires Argentina . Aero Club EZP.
Yes, the pilot did a good job. Thanks for watching!

That is the same plane on commented on earlier with the green/gold color scheme, C -FW0A, based out of there ?
No, this one isn't based out of CZNL. I believe it was visiting from Pitt Meadows.
its actually my stepfathers plane, and yes, it is based out of pitt meadows ! :)
WOW !NICE LANDING I HAVE 200 HRS IN A SENECA !
In another video you posted a comment 6 months before this comment saying you have 300 hours in seneca's....
I've got 6 hours on the seneca that's all 😅😅
Actually it looks to be a Seneca III due to it's one piece windshield so that also mean 220 HP per engine at 2800 RPM and then after take off back to 200 HP at 2600 RPM
Arthur Sautot You can read “Seneca II” on the outer cowl of the port engine (left engine closest to the camera).
its a seneca 2 with the lo presti speed mods which are the cowls and wing tips and there is a STC for a single piece windscreen for both the seneca 1 and 2
Counter rotating engines?
The plane that i can afford one day.
Bello
My favorite airplane that i can afford :) 60-100k this beauty cost. 6 seater. Nice
Good choice, bet they're fun ones to fly too!
Where is that?
This was filmed at CZNL in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada.
1:38 He really turned off the engine before landing?
No, engine(s) are not turned off, it's just the shutter rate of the camera.
15 Piper pa 35 Seneca 2 need let's supply me farm veng today
