Landing in Cessna Skylane at Sedona Airport (KSEZ Arizona)
Вставка

- This airport has earned the nickname USS Sedona due to its aircraft carrier-like appearance. When wind is under 10 knots, most pilots choose to land on runway 3 and depart runway 21 due to the slope of the runway and the rising terrain off the departure end of runway 3. Especially on high-wind days, runway 21 is known for extreme downdrafts!
My Dad built this airport. He was the Cessna dealer for Northern Arizona.
Very cool!
Neat. Do you fly?
Back in the day when I owned a 182 we flew into Sedona a couple of times. What great airport and the Town of Sedona is a wonderful place to visit.
Sedona is my happy place. Looking forward to landing here virtually in the new Flight Simulator
Just read that KSEZ is one of the 40 handcrafted airports included with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020! So Sedona airport got some extra love from the dev team. 💗
Come on man get in a real craft. Flight simulators are for pus*y's
@@kcook8119 it's not so easy to get an aircraft
@@likeabumblebee What planet do you live on? :>)
Sedona: the airport for the tutorials in MSFS!
Gem of a restaurant there. Nicely hidden away from the usual tourist crush in town.
The restaurant at the Sedona airport, Mesa Grill, has some great food and margaritas
The wife and I years ago took off from Scottsdale in a Cessna , landed in Sedona and had lunch at that restaurant. Wonderful time!
Just got back from a week camping there. Has to be the most beautiful place on Earth.
wow, wow, and wow again. Terrific scenery, and very nice landing too! Thx for sharing!
I love the rolling shutter effect from phone camera with the propeller. Nice “rubber” effect.
Nice graphics! Looks so real. MSFS is excellent:)
😆
Wow, must be one of the most scenic airports in the world to land and take off from.
Proved the old adage that a good landing follows a good approach. Captain’s bars stayed pretty well fixed in the wind screen. This airport is on my bucket list.

Wow was Sedona gorgeous from above!
Majestic sensory overload... Ty for uploading. Now make more, please. 👍👍
Been there several times, and it's a beautiful place to fly 👍🇺🇸
Nice video..
My favorite airport. I did my first solo cross country to Sedona. I had to do a go around due updraft on short final rwy 21. Second attempt went smooth.
I have landed there many time since. And hope to do so again.
I've heard that the up and down drafts can be something at SEZ!
If you're ever in Sedona, it's worth going to the airport for drinks and food. Cool tabletop.
Woah, what a landscape...
I live 5 hours from there never flown in Arizona all my flying has been in the East Coast but it's beautiful.
Nice job!! Reminds me of landing in Los Alamos!!
I'm in approach right now - Flight Simulator 2020, the last lesson of the training - and wasn't sure in which direction I should land _"on runway 3"._ This helped, thanks! :)
Glad this helped!
Depends on the wind
"...wasn't sure in which direction I should land 'on runway 3'."
There's only one direction to land on Runway 3. If you're going the other direction, you're on Runway 21. (The numbers correspond to the compass heading; 30 degrees or 210 degrees.)
Great job
Beautiful! What wonderful views on approach. Thank you for this video! ❤️
Nice landing) This is still on my to do list, looks like an amazing place to visit.
I swear i can no longer tell whether these videos are from real life or MSFS2020 in the video thumbnails anymore.
Very, very nice. It's nice to see someone flying the Center-Line on the entire final approach. Great touch down, too.
I saw a guy crash his plane on takeoff at this airport ,no one was hurt . It happened because he was from out of town and took off going up hill when your suppose to takeoff going down hill . The slant in the runway is very pronounced .
Nice job. It looks like a full-flaps landing, steep and slow.
Steep s the way to go as a precaution for updraft or downdraft
Nice approach and landing, friend!
Thanks!
Gotta do that someday! On my bucket list now!
The Sedona area is similar to Southern Utah with the red rock everywhere.
Steep, flare..keep pulling back, pull back, stall horn, touch😎👍
That’s how it’s done, full flaps, steep approach anticipating an updraft specially at the cliff.
Pretty wild coming In from the other direction. No approach cause of the mountains and a wild ride with the strong winds. Advise going early morning or late evening especially with a large plane! Beautiful area though.
Looks much calmer than landing at Telluride, CO.
Nice job 👍🏼😎
At first I thought it was Microsoft Flight sim 2020 😁
Love that airport.
There's a splattered bug on your windshield....otherwise🛩 nice landing.
Kinda like the old airport in St George UT, or the Paige AZ, Glen Canyon, I think a couple others where I’ve stopped fore fuel on some long xcountries in my C170, and our C182
looks just like Flight Simulator 2020
The other way round actually.
Definitely not.
You should wear glasses...
@@e30kitty nah
Short but sweet‼️😎
Great place for a meal anytime
촬영 좋아요. 256번째 흔적남기고 응원합니다.
How did you get the bug splatters on your flight sim? Must be an upgrade for the Pro version.
MSFS has gotten so realistic! /s
Nice job! I'm a local. We call it "The Table Top".
We do not.
About ten years ago, my wife's cousin's daughter, her aunt and husband were killed while attempting to land on runway 21. A storm was blowing through the area and right at the time of the attempted landing, winds suddenly increased to 30+ mph, gusts to 50 mph. While I didn't know the aunt and her husband, I had met the niece who was months away from graduating from medical school. A tragic day.....so pilots beware, be careful.
In aviation if you neglect to check conditions are make pilot error it can cost you your life. The conditions you described are NOT proper landing conditions, I am sorry they died. Good ideal to top off tanks at departing airport and check wind and weather conditions BEFORE you take off and monitor in-flight on going weather conditions and if they change you go to plan B and live to fly another day.
On my bucket list. Landed there right seat in a Caravan. Want to do it PIC in a 172.
Very nice landing. Those trees looks scary to me.
Trees? Did you watch it on your phone? XD
@@e30kitty Dont remember exactly, but its very propably...
@@norbert.kiszka :D
I landed here as well, as participant of a Western tour organized by @parkwestair
Good job staying on center line. Drives me crazy when pilots accept anything less.
@Fred Sanford. Note that @Levi Maaia warns about downdrafts on R21 approach on windy conditions. A few days ago a pilot flying a C172 came in a little fast under crosswinds a even tailwind, resulting in leaving runway to the left and ovrturning the aircraft. The airfield looks like a carrier and sometimes it IS one under windy conditions. Try not to be severe on some pilots since some CFIs are allowing too many looneys loose.
I'm a student pilot with a little over 20 hours of flight time, including solo, and landing centerline is something im still smoothing out in my landings. Been hard since every day I've been flying under 15+ knot winds hahaha but its good to be learning when its tough than when its perfect.
Great landing...right on the money...
Well done.
Cool! 👍
Oh man, whatta VIEW! Question - what's the white knob on the leading edge (left of pilot) used for?
It's an air vent.
Did this in a 152 back in the early 80’s.
New Sim "pilot" here. On what occasions would you land on runway 21 as opposed to runway 3? Thanks for the neat video, it looks like a beautiful airport / area.
Tyler, you probably would avoid landing on 21 under most if not all circumstances. If there was a strong wind from the southwest and you were in a larger plane, you might try it but small singles would probably be better served landing elsewhere and driving to Sedona. From what I understand, the downdrafts are squirrely when there is more than a light breeze.
Landing on 21 can flip you out. 😁
Really fun at night!
Haha nicely done!
You'll ace the flight simulator tutorial 😉
How was the flight? That's one of the places I'm looking forward to flying to!!
It is a great flight! Read up on local weather considerations, particularly the unusual approach wind patterns.
Wouldn’t want to veer off the runway to Starboard at high speed….. 😬
Landed there many many times
Man that’s one crappy windshield for an airplane. Really distorts everything when turning. 😳
I think it might be exaggerated by the fact that the camera is handheld. It doesn't feel quite that exaggerated when you are seated looking forward.
@@levimaaia Good point. I was pretty shocked to see that. I’m no aviator, but was thinking how glad U am that my car doesn’t look like that. 😳🤣
I wonder how it was for take off and landing with the recent heat wave?
Why did you add power over the threshold?
Sedona has notoriously squirrely winds on approach. Power (i.e. descent rate) management is key to a smooth touchdown here in particular.
Awsumeeeeeee!
That's got to be at least 6,000 feet or more Runway?
It's 5,132 feet long.
landing a 172 at Sedona is not half as challenging as departing in one on a hot day!
This looks like Microsoft Flight Simulator
I Might Have Seen You
💕💕💕💕
microsoft flight simulator tutorial be like
Munna atd
Lets go Brandon.
Oops, you accidentally posted a comment to the wrong video.
Density alt will bite you in the arse
What's the big deal in this?
The surrounding sloped terrain causes unpredictable updrafts and downdrafts, sometimes rather severely. This factor is a complete unknown until you get there.
It looks god, people know it from a videogame and it's in america XD
Well done.
