As long as the nerds like me get a nice 30-60 minute raw flight video with lots of technical commentary and radio comms every once in a while, I'll be watching! Still the best GA channel out there.

    QuickQ: Why do you count to 3 after moving the flap lever? I assume you're verifying that the flaps went down after counting to 3, but why count when you could just look outside at the flaps moving?

    • @jpdevers432
      @jpdevers432 5 років тому

      They're manual electronic. He holds down the lever and counts to 3, which should be about 10 degrees. It's not like the automatic flaps, where you just move the lever to 10, 20, or 30.

    Grass makes the best landing surface. Even in my Mooney, I enjoy landing on grass strips. Keep in mind though, when you transition from grass to hard surface, cross it at a 45 degree angle, not perpendicular. It keeps the porpoising down if/when there is a dip right before the pavement.

    @maxbootstrap7397 5 років тому +5

    It is interesting that what he considered a good grass landing is not what I do. From what I can tell, no matter how many thousands of feet of runway he consumes, the landing is only judged on the basis of how gently he touches down. I suppose that's one way to rate a good landing. But for me, who pretty much only cares about bush flying/landings/takeoffs, what matters most by far is how short is the landing. And short doesn't start where tires first touch the ground, but at the very first place your tires CAN touch the ground. Almost always the best/shortest landing involves a firm touchdown, definitely not a lightest-possible touchdown.
    Sure, not so hard a touchdown that you [risk] breaking anything ... because then the airplane will bounce, which lengthens the landing. A nice firm touchdown is part of what assures the airplane sticks to the ground, increases drag and friction between tires and grass/dirt/etc, and assures the airplane doesn't lift off again in ground effect (which is aided by partial or complete elimination of flaps immediately at/after touchdown). I always laugh at the landings of the youtube video guy who has a bonanza (forget his name), because he often floats forever during his attempt to touch the ground so gently his tires don't flex. Very different from me and many other "bush pilots".
    At least the pilot in this video recognizes he was carrying far too much speed into the landing, so good for him.

    Hey Josh, something I learned during my CFI training is it is slightly counter-intuitive to take the nose wheel completely off the ground like that as since you're pitched up, you will be causing more drag which will increase the roll out. In turn, I was taught to reduce the pressure off the nose gear, just barely enough where it is either barely touching the ground or just a centimeter or two off of it. Let me know what you think!

    Our home strip had both grass and paved runways.
    Landing on grass you will decelerate faster. But taking off from grass, dirt, sod, gravel your acceleration is slower then on pavement.
    To me, these were always the key differences.

    How long you plan on staying with the 172 before you move up to something else??

    I used to fly sailplanes out of Refugio, TX. Always got plenty of soft field landing practice with a Super Cub we towed with. The head mounted camera is a bit much to keep up with and makes me dizzy with the rapid head movements. Otherwise great work on the grass. The floating would be even worse in a low wing aircraft.

    The headcam is too much

    a bit gusty? You're in Texas. That's nothing for some of the winds you've seen.

    I loved the video and missed the old raw footage videos and especially enjoy the FPV videos

    It is like the Kermie Cam of Kermit Weeks fame it is nice to mix it up with the fixed cameras.
