  • Proficiency... That about sums up aviation. It's all about proficiency. Whether it be getting ready for a checkride or simply reminding yourself how to do something, you have to be proficient.
    Today I took N32042 up to practice some crosswind landings in the traffic pattern at KORL. Not my best performance, but definitely not my worst either.
    Enjoy the landings!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I flew earlier this week for my solo XC. I took off runway 11 winds were 100 @ 9kts G16kts Variable ! The winds weren’t that bad 30 mins earlier but I figured I’d try it. Not the best decision to say the least. I was getting tossed about like a plastic bag in the wind. I figured if I go a little higher towards my intended altitude it would get better... it didn’t. It got worst. So I landed that bad boy while still in the flight pattern. I had plenty of colorful language for the winds that day lol I will try again to complete my XC just not this week.Your reaction was refreshing and genuine. Exactly what I needed after my fail this week.

    There's a small range between "too rough to fly" and "too rough to take passengers" where I love to get out and practice. Finding those limits can be tricky though, at some point I'm going to take off and not be able to get back down again (home airport is small and particularly turbulent). Always got the backup option of a much larger runway 10 minutes away to go to! Inconvenient but alive.

I have been taught to crab or slip in to final over the fence and "find the sweet spot", the aggressive inputs are still a mystery to me are you able to explain whats going on with that method?

    Currency is simply are you legal to fly under that situation. Proficiency is if you're actually flying safely and skillfully. You can have one without the other. Being current without being proficient is pretty self-explanatory; you're legal but not skillful. Being proficient without being current is also possible; if I'm keeping up with my skills and I flew yesterday but my BFR ran out today, I may be proficient, but not current.

  • @adjuaadama6623
    @adjuaadama6623 3 роки тому

    Current: Six approaches, tracking and holding, etc. every six months via the hood, foggles, or the sim.
    Proficient: Seeking out solid IMC and gaining actual experience in both attitude flying and instrument approaches to landing. Low to mid level fair weather cumulus clouds are really good with keeping you proficient as the up and down drafts aren't severe but will teach you how to ignore the somatogravic sensations. You should also work to challenge your task saturation on instruments like doing sim work or foggles work with ATC when it's busy, or something like an Oscar Pattern while running checklists.

Proficiency is being well practiced in all conditions and maintaining something at a very good to outstanding " B", or "A" grade level. You don't go out to dinner to eat at a restaurant with a county health rating of a "C", not when "B" or "A" inspection gradings are available.
