Thank you for sharing this. Seeing and feeling that moment through your eyes reminds me I need to practice my go-arounds more often, thank you. The words I let out of my mouth while watching were a bit stronger than the “Oh boy” you voiced a second later. Glad you’re good, my friend.
I have a CTSW too and it drops when going from flaps 15 to flaps 0. This same thing happened to me and now I keep the climb going for a little longer before I take all the flaps out. You did a good job and kept the airplane in one piece. Good post.
thanks. I usually take off at 0, so the only flap change is to -6. I would've "dropped" it myself if I hadn't gone 15->0, but a quick discussion with friends and your comment made me realize that, were I to do it again, I'd just stay at 15. I wouldn't be causing much drag given the CT wing. I was mildly worried I had some power loss as I started the goaround, which was obviously just the combination of full flaps and high DA.
Glad you came away from that flaps 15 to flaps 0 with just some slight butt pucker. Amazing how much energy you gain just dripping over those trees, it comes to haunt you in that float during the flair.
Great video. You really broke down the issues well and the differing camera angles were helpful too. As always, I love the way you display the speed tape. Being able to see it overlayed with the rest of the view conveys so much useful information
Nice video. You handled it well. Your sight-picture looked good with 15 degrees of flaps on the go-around. Wonder if you kept those flaps in a little longer to build up some speed for climb-out?

Some great lessons there, thanks for showing us that DA is the real deal! And nice landing 😀
Thanks Nathan. Was hoping you’d get to see it. And it wasn’t a nice landing, it was.. acceptable.
what an awesome place that must be to fly. i love GA landing vids. used to be airliners but now im all on that GA game
Great! You’ll really like the next one then 😀

thanks. Yeah, it's a lot of info and angles for a normal vid, but it really shows the situation. Certainly helped me understand it more.
I felt that 😳. What a treat to see real trees!
And those are high desert trees! Much more lush on the wet side of the mountains.
I liked the sight picture on the second attempt much better.

I was worried about not being able to build speed, but in retrospect, probably would have been good to leave it.
Good work Teddy boy! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Well done - I bet having the instinct to push and stay in ground effect longer is tough in a place like that. So cool.
