I had almost 10 hours in a 182 while getting my HP endorsement and couldn't seem to land it consistently even though in a 172 I could land no problem every time. Grabbed a cushion and it made all the difference.
I don't use a cushion in the 170 /172, but always do in the 180/182s
Excellent pointers that a lot of instructors overlook. I always appreciate your thorough explanation on all topics aviation! Keep up the great work!! 🤠👍
Definitely. I think I asked my CFI on my first take-off flight about this and he looked at my like I was an idiot, and said something like “just adjust where you want it”. Was hard to explain I didn’t know where I wanted it. I had an inkling that there must be an optimal position, both height and how far back the seat is.
The person in this video just told me all I was asking about in no time.
@@shader26Yeah he’s awesome. Check out his other videos. He even goes over the check ride oral exam and what not to get stumped on. How to become an A&P, just all kinds of things helpful to any up and coming pilot or even experienced pilots.
I've been doing this for years. I always liked to sit high and close. That was a suggestion that I got from my grandfather.
I wish my CFI told me these things during the first lesson. Took a while to figure these things out. Inconsistent sight picture is a huge slow-down in primary training.
Very good topic !!!
I have never seen or heard anyone touch this subject.
Thank you !
Glad you liked it!
As a shorter man, finding the right seating position when my school has like 15 planes is challenging. This helps, thank you!
Count your blessings! I've flown in multiple planes where ive hd to hunch over so I could turn my head! You can always add height, but never remove it, fly safe and have fun
A great tip on holding a yoke is to place a pen or pencil under the ring/middle finger but on top the index and pinky. There is no way to take a death grip, even with a full handle on the yoke.
I'm going to start showing this video to my students
It can deff help them save some time and money
This info deserves more than a single like.
ignoring this not-so-exciting stuff leads to a lot of excitement later on - but not the pleasant kind...😅 being a medium-short guy, some seats don't come forward enough for me (due to worn-out rails and locking pins), but I realized that life vests (not the inflatable types, but the simple ones you can use near the shortline) make great improvized seat cushions as well (light, but sturdy)
3:20 unfortunately the 737 doesn’t have the little sight balls. It was super convenient in the E175 though.
Fantastic Jon, Welcome back, have really missed your instructional videos !!! 200 hours, and 6'2", and still confused as to how far forward I should be sitting. Usually right up front, but I find that bites when trying to flair and my elbow bumps the seat. Great video.
Glad to help!
Welcome back brother
Thank you!
Great topic. My Piper 140 has no vertical seat adjustment and has a fairly tall panel. Although I'm no giant at 5'10", I have a long torso and short legs which turns out to be ideal for flying (and sitting in movie theaters). I carry a 2" seat cushion for passengers. Not only is a seat cushion an essential item for shorter pilots, but it makes your guests experiences infinitely better. I've taken a few vertically challenged instructors out in it and it's actually surprising how many times ego trumps out over proper flying position as they decline the seat pad opting for a Charles Lindbergh landing setup. Flying yesterday I noted what I can see in the Piper. At my eye level I easily see the entire top of my front cowling.
This leaves me wondering if I would do better with a small cushion in my Cherokee 180. The seat feels very low and has no height adjustment.
Probably the exact same seats that I have.... I highly recommend it. Not only will it give you way better landing views, it will also give you a better forward view in cruise. On hot days with high density altitude, I can actually see the horizon over the front on climb out. @@shaunkruger
It is important for everyone to know that sitting high on the seat will help a lot for better landing no shame on that the shame it’s when you have a rough landing or bouncing because you’re not C runway clearly
Thank you for coming back to UA-cam Jon!
Thank you for making this video! It's needed!
Glad it helps! Share it around.
This seems really basic to many pilots and instructors. But my goodness is it important!
Excellent video about a topic that can screw so many things up for pilots/student pilots if not addressed correctly.
I was sitting too far forward initially. I'm a big guy, so when I'd pull the yoke back to flare I'd kinda get a t-rex arm thing going on because my arm was pinched between my body and the door, which would cause me to inadvertently apply aileron while pulling back, so I had a hell of a time maintaining center-line. I make sure to triple check I can get full elevator deflection without cramping myself too much before I taxi now.
Excellent, Thanks Jon !
Glad you liked it!
This was so so good. Thank you for getting right to the point!! Wish I could learn from you!!
Any time!
You just did! :) (Sorry, I'll show myself out.) But I agree. And the tip of using the finger to "measure" the throttle is a good one...I'll have to remember to use it during my next instruction!
Great video! Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this video and didn’t expect it to be so important haha
Very helpful, Jon.
Glad to hear it!
Informative! Glad I watched.
Glad you enjoyed it!
great video as usual. makes me think about how this is so silly but i recently got my cfi cert (shoutout to ur mock oral videos hahaha) and for the longest time my during training my right seat landings were so shit and off centerline no matter how much i practiced w a cfi next to me. it finally took me flying solo right seat to realize I was subconsciously leaning on the door the whole time, thereby almost always putting some right rudder in. It felt super unnatural to do left rudder when needed bc of the way i was sitting.
Great stuff, i started flying a year ago and started watching videos, i was hoping to take a few lesson’s with you in fl and then i saw you moved haha, but o love what your doing in alaska. Maybe ill have to fly up one day for a few lessons. Great content keep it up please
Come on up and visit us and the airplane house sometime!
Very helpful
Glad it helped
You might want to mention that working the rudder pedals to the stops on the ground isn't always good for the plane. You can mess things up in planes with nose wheels linked to the rudders.
I'm 5"6". The seat always slides as far forward and as high as it will go. Seems like they'd be a little more accommodating since most of the cockpits I've sat in were built when the average man was only 2 inches taller than me.
Nice video. You could also comment that using rubber boots as you had in this video is essential for a good landing😂
I didn’t realize I was sitting wrong while flying until the end of my IFR check ride
That was about the same time I finally figured it out, 150s were fine, but I was almost intimidated by a 172 until I figured out I could crank the seat up
Seat position is such a Key thing I believe
No question that it isnt
Really cold up there already man?
Yessir, it has already dropped to -8 F° and its only mid November
Still in Florida?
Nope, enjoying the freedom of Alaska...just finished building my first airplane house: ua-cam.com/video/OFhhiauGD-E/v-deo.html
Maybe you can do the next video about proper clothes and especially shoes to wear while flying. Those rubber boots look hilarious but neither practical nor safe😂 in my opinion.
Clearly said by someone who’s never lived in Alaska. Alaskan pilots have 100,000s of safe flying hours wearing Xtratufs
I'd have to say the most common flying footwear in AK is probably those ugly brown rubber boots. And every time I go somewhere without them I always regret it
Shout out to all vertically challenged pilots 😅
As told my 1St instructor at Soviet Ukraine "your bank has a reason either your neck is lined to your shoulder or one of your balls is more weighter another."
