I'm getting back into flying after almost a decade and procedurally I would have thought you'd have told tower you would be touch and go with closed traffic before you executed. Maybe even told him you were going to tune the ILS to check your instruments. Not criticizing, just curious. Those landings look great!
@MidlifePilot 11 ай бұрын
Well, he knew we may be a touch and go from being cleared for the option from 2:34-2:45. Cleared for the option means I had the option to do a stop and go on the runway, a touch and go, or a full stop. I could have decided after landing to full stop taxi back. And it’s normal at class D to not be given a traffic direction until airborne on the go. I asked at 7:09 for a direction before making my turn, which is my normal practice if they don’t give me a direction. They couldn’t care less if I have the ILS dialed in or not. Didn’t change anything about the approach I flew. Thanks for the comments - all good questions!

I am by NO means a pro at this. I just recently acquired the Microsoft Flight Simulator and I’m taking baby steps with the training modules. Here’s a question: why did you express your speed in miles per hour? I thought air speed was measured in knots.
@MidlifePilot 11 ай бұрын
Depends on the airplane. All three planes in our flying club (1965 172, 1973 Cherokee 235, 1973 150) are all primarily instrumented in MPH.
@larrytolson4135 11 ай бұрын
@@MidlifePilot hey, thanks for that! I noticed in some planes (in the sim) the airspeed indicator reads out in KPH and knots. I’m pretty sure others are as you mention.

This is so cool. Thanks for sharing. I’m in my first month of class and just flew for the first time on Wednesday. It was so insanely intense. I had a death grip for the first 20 minutes and flew for a total of two hours. Instructor claims I did two take offs and one landing (of course with complete voice instruction, and zero radio work on my end) but it’s all a blur. Looking forward for my second time next week!

Good stuff! I am a student pilot with about 40 hours and have been learning to use pitch for airspeed and power for altitude and rate of descent on my approaches. I started wondering if pilots use trim on approach and landing thinking that it might help me stabilize my approaches. So, I went looking and found your video. I’m going to try it on my next solo flight. I guess one thing to consider is that if you have to go around you have to be mindful of how much nose-up trim you have in and keep in some forward pressure. Thx for the video!

Hi Chris. Hope all is well. You handled it perfectly. Had there been a prop strike and you elected to go-around, possibly a bigger problem could’ve ensued. Either way, you and the bird came out unscathed. It’s a win win! Nice flying!

Great to hear you call out what you do. Nice review for our own learning experiences. Great color of the plane! Regarding avoiding birds, I once heard from an instructor that if within maneuvering speed, always pull up, as birds if surprised will dive. That is of course when you are p flying, on landing that might not apply. Thank you for sharing!

OK, I've watched the bird in super slow-mo like 6 times, and I'm still not exactly sure what the right call is. So don't be too hard on yourself. To the best I can tell, the most reasonable safe move probably would be a go-around call just over the piano keys. It's not entirely clear it's necessary then, but you still have some height to execute it out of range. A BIG lesson learned for me watching this: Once it's CLEAR a go-around is needed, it's too late! I am trying to be quicker on the go-around call, and seeing this experience helps move me in that direction. Thank you!

Great video! Thx so much for sharing. I do need to practice impromptu go-arounds just so I can get the feel of full power after I've committed to flaring. Yea, I prob would have done the same to avoid that bird. What a tricky situation! That was a fairly big bird. Question: What would have happened if the bird struck your prop; windshield?
@MidlifePilot Жыл бұрын
What do you think? Options when I saw the bird were to go around (which I considered, but didn't want to hit it at full power trying to climb out and have him hit my prop or windscreen), or to avoid him. Probably could have added a little power to soften the touchdown and add a little margin of speed. What would you have done in that situation?
@FlyAlphaFoxtrot Жыл бұрын
Same as you, but as you said would have added a bump of power to soften the landing IF I had though of it at the time. I think you did just fine, missed the bird, put it on the ground, didn't break the plane or yourself. 9.5/10!
@Mikinct Жыл бұрын
Well, you did the right move. End result was a non event. Definitely dint wanna wank the yoke back especially without adding power. Maybe slight turn to the right & land slightly right of center line. Touch call 📞 C) Feather the Prop?- sarcasm inserted
