This has been the easiest and most precise technique. I'd about 40 landings before watching this video yesterday and not a single greaser - today I had 7 out of 10 "passable" touchdowns - thanks Rod!

Looked like 4 white PAPI. Why so far above standard approach path? That is wasting the first part of the runway.

When a student, I put the plane almost on the runway and my instructor simply said 'fly it until it won't fly' Never had a problem; perhaps I was seeing the geometry without consciously doing so (visual geometry is not a mystery to me). "Fly it, fly it, fly it", clunk....

I got my PPL in 1984 but left the country shortly after and stopped flying due to finances. When I decided to become current again in the late 1990s I used Rod's private pilot handbook. It was excellent in that it comprehensively covered everything I needed with great explanations and sense of humor. Comparing it to Gleim which was drier than dust Rod's book was very enjoyable to read.

The decent rate plays a big role in this... if you are on glideslope, it's easy.. if you are above glideslope (more common with GA) then that transition to level flight is 10x more difficult.
@YouNumba13 жыл бұрын
I actually have always taught VFR approaches at a steeper angle; it makes landing quite a bit easier (counter-intuitive I know). The three degree glidpath is for IFR...
@canconservative89763 жыл бұрын
@@YouNumba1 If you are on short final at 500' AGL vs 100' and your VSI is -500 compared to -150... I think it's obvious what is the more consistent secure and soft landing... the only rationale to the steep approach is to be always within glide distance of the runway while in the circuit... not to mention turning a GA aircraft into a glider doesn't work well on windy days!... unless I'm missing something here... I was taught both, and putting one red light on the PAPI is the easier landing, and better when you have to put it on the numbers, if it's a small runway.

My first day of landing training i didn’t know what I was doing but they were perfect. 4 lands touched down pretty smooth for a first timer. Second day of landing training all horrible, third day all drop ins , horrible. The thing I did differently was study how to land and I think my knowledge ended up killing my innate ability to trust the plan. Last night was my first day of night landings and 8 landing two were acceptable (to me , my instructor says I’m not the worst student he’s trained) , next time I attempt my landings I’m going to try this.
@YouNumba13 жыл бұрын
Landing is a tough part of training (and if you pressure yourself you make it worse obviously). Try to relax a bit and breathe so you can feel the plane. Scanning near and far often gives the best awareness of how high you are above the runway and how fast you are settling (the critical/necessary ingredient in landing) Good luck!

@Jaden481083 жыл бұрын
You're talking about a transition phase in landing in which flaring has nothing to do with anything. After the round out you let the airplane fly straight down the runway keeping your eyes towards the end of the runway, while flying the plane a foot or less off the ground. As power is cut and the speed bleeds off the main gear will touch down. Anytime you flare and lose sight of the end of the runway don't expect good results. It's one way of getting off center line. I suppose this method can work for some people. If you don't have normal depth perception you shouldn't be flying.

So when you say 1.3 times the stall speed of the aircraft, does it mean the clean stall speed or the landing configuration stall speed?

Top tip: NEVER push the control column forward when landing. Constant back pressure, squeek in a bit of power if are too high and dropping like a stone.
@robingermon40714 жыл бұрын
Timing to flare is different in every aircraft. The real aim is to fly from flight into ground effect.ie., wing span length vertical. The formula tells it all ie., CL.HAFEROW.V.SQUARED.S

Great video and very practical helpful tip! It seems that the graph is not totally accurate as the rate of runway expansion should decrease after its peak back down to zero at time of landing.

Had flown helicopter for last 30 years before that trainer Jets. Flew C172R this month. Flare was not coming at all despite great efforts and 2 hours dual. Actually was unable to visualize the correct perspective, the widening of runway, travel of noise etc. Progressional ego hurt... Then I came across this wonderful training video. All concepts cleared.. Saw it around 20 times and then cleared my solo very next sortie. Million thanks Rod! You are great in teaching... Forwarded to few more Young trainee pilots.. All benefiting. In fact all your videos are of great training value. Happy Landings
