Hit the bullseye on the landing! Looked a little crowded above n below ya. Lots of moving parts.

What a great video, such a smooth flight, looked like you needed hardly any input. Such a shame not to have completely captured the full landing of the guy in front of you, also, that GT logo on your harness boot looks exactly the same as the GT Bicycles logo, what's going on with that?

@@andymccann2716 This was a bit before 10am and the air was pretty calm on the ride down to the field. No need for big inputs. I don’t think the GT is related to bicycles.

Great video. As a new pilot ( only 3 mountain flights). It’s always helpful to watch others to learn. Hope to be there in October.

Yah man your looking good . I remember my first mountain flight 30 years ago. A lot has changed at LMFP. Now my home site is Valle de Bravo here in Mexico. With a new WW being built this week. I look forward to soaring again. Best of luck to you !

good self criticism and way to have something take away. I use my videos the same way; to learn better! Those first 10 flights were the bee's knees as well as nerve wracking for me. I hope to get to the 20 something flights soon at LMFP. Hope to see you up there again! -Jeff

did you land tail wind? its the first video of this place on someone landing that direction
@mikebodary9758 Ай бұрын
It blows in different directions, and you need to check the windsock and ribbons on the field when you're entering the LZ. If you look at the 3:11 mark, you can see the windsock blowing to the south, so that wasn't landing in a tailwind even though it was from an unusual direction.

@chih-weichuang6272 2 ай бұрын
excellent job! I wouldn't worry about calling spots until at least 50+ flights, you still got a ways to go to hit that 90 :P. What I would focus on now is good launches in progressively stronger conditions, and start messing around in the air like start playing with your speed, getting close to stall without actually stalling, going faster and making slight turns to make sure you don't induce PIO (if you do, just back off the speed and let it stabilize itself), practice those coordinated turns in varying turn angles, and get comfortable with more and more turbulence in the air. That's going to help you build tolerance as you either ridge soar or thermal. You're already doing great to come in with speed on final, you'll need to do that as well when you fly tougher conditions so you don't get pushed around when landing. Oh and you seem to already do a great job coming out of the harness already, but if you're still wigged out by it, just get in and out of your harness a bunch while in the air. On lifty days, hell, do diff direction 360s when you are over the field (do it to the left/right of center so you're not doing unpredictable things when other students are just doing boxes) then get into the pattern. Start experimenting, this is when the fun starts!
@mikebodary9758 2 ай бұрын
A few days prior to heading to LMFP, I threw a rope over a sturdy tree branch and hung the harness from it so I could experiment with getting in and out of it. I wasn't wigged out by pulling my legs out for landing; it actually felt pretty natural. (Getting the legs in on the first try is a bit harder, but I'm really impressed by the design, ergonomics, and usability of pod harnesses.) Launching, flying, and landing in stronger conditions is on the to-do list when I can get back in--sadly--about a month from now. I'm hoping for some lifty conditions and got permission to do a few turns if I pass through a thermal that seems promising. Sadly, by Flight 24 (my last one so far), there were none. Thanks for your suggestions/recommendations! I appreciate the advice, and if you see something I'm doing that's not-so-good (I try to be critical of my flight in my description, but there are things I know I don't know), please let me know!

@mikebodary9758 2 ай бұрын
Thanks! I've had 4 more flight since this one, and 3 of those 4 have been in the target. Once it clicked (and the LZ air is calm), it seemed to click. Sadly, on the last three, I forgot to declare a spot landing on all but one. Otherwise, I'd have already had my three for my H3!
