Catalina is definitely a good place to train new pilots. But for any pilot training in Southern California, be sure to add Big Bear (L35) for the mountain flying experience, and Fallbrook (L18) for the shorter (2000 foot) runway experience to truly reinforce good habits.

In 1969 and 70 I was in the US Army flying out of Crissy Army Airfield at the Presidio of San Francisco. We flew up and down the coast of California all the time, in U-8 twin-engine Beechcraft, U-1A single-engine Otters and helicopters. But in doing so, we never flew over to Catalina Island. I wanted to, but we couldn't get our Commanding Officer to authorize the side trip. Thanks for sharing this great video...

Takes guts to post this as a CFI because everyone is going to nit-pick it to death. I give props for climbing to 6,500 for safety even though it's such a short flight from TOA.

Seen people doing that when flying over the English Channel between Dover and Calais too, me I'm sitting there like "There is a reason I'm up here at 8,000". 23 mile stretch of water with a 9:1 glide ratio I like keeping the potential scenarios that could potentially force a water landing to a bear minimum so if I can safely fly at an altitude where the aircraft should be able to glide to land you can be damn sure I will be up there.

@@seraphina985 at your calculations of 9:1 glide ratio at 8,000ft at the point of no return, you'll need every single parameter and condition to be perfect to make it back to the shore and even still you'll just barely make it. I'd rather opt for a water landing than a ground landing into a tree, building, car.... The illusion of safety for the safe of calling yourself "safe" is still an illusion. just keep the plane chocked if you want to be 100% safe. Be prepared for a swim always, plan for it, equip for it. Whether you're high or low over water, it won't really make a difference. Just have fun and be safe within reason.

So cool to see others doing this. Now after all these years flying, I still look back on trips to Catalina and realize it really is like no other place I have flown. One thing not mentioned is that there is a high spot in the runway is in the middle, which really makes it look like you are running out of runway before you get airborne.

try this tip sometime and you will use it in light training aircraft always. when you have arrested your descent and are floating way down the runway leaving valuable pavement unused behind you reach over and flip up the flap handle. the airplane will settle down to the pavement immediately and now you can use the brakes to stop a LOT sooner. practice this on a long easy runway before you really need it in tighter situation. anticipate that the airplane is going to start settling to the pavement immediately when the flaps start retracting and be ready to add a touch of extra elevator to cushion the touchdown. once you have done it a couple of times you will see how easy and safe and useful it is.

Great video, and great series. I agree with Craig Morton - it's pretty brave to post a training video. The two comments I have (in the spirit of adding more value to those watching this for instructional purposes) are: 1) When I've flown into plateau runways (Catalina, Sedona, the old St. George airport, etc., - I've flown into each and have more than 1700 hours in my 182) I always chose 20 degrees of flaps so that I'm still getting more lift than drag in the event of a downdraft on short final. And choosing to land long on 3,000' of runway is a good decision at AVX and others where length is not too much of an issue. I will say that landing a little long can be scary at Catalina because of the dome effect there and no being able to see the end of the runway. 2) More in response to some of the comments below, carrying a PFD is absolutely a safety issue, but also a legal one (as the IP points out in this flight.) I've flown into Catalina twice. The first time was just a scenic flight from San Diego with some friends. The second time was to run the Catalina marathon, which starts in Two Harbors and ends in Avalon. On that second trip, we were leaving the next morning and had the opportunity to take off in the midst of a marine layer. The first and only zero-zero takeoff I've ever done. Of course, with the marine layer, I was out of it at about 200' AGL. Again, great video. Thanks for sharing your flight.

Granted some vests would make it difficult to adjust controls, but inflatable vests would work. Just a thought.

I got my license in 1970 at Rose Aviation at Hawthorne. Always wanted to go to Catalina. Rose said we needed a check out with a instructor before you could fly there. Before I got a chance to get checked out, a commercial pilot rented her Arrow and headed to Catalina. They said that the engine blew mid channel and barely made it back. From then on Rose said the only way you could go to Catalina was with a instructor(all times) and you had to go high enough that you were within gliding distance of land. She said around 9,000' minimum .

Great video. I learnt a bit more about sloped runway technique. I used to love 'landing' at Catalina on the early flight sims and its one of the first land features you see coming into LAX after a 13 hr flight from New Zealand. My only critique is not wearing life jackets over water in a light single aircraft. Just having them onboard adds to major distractions in the event of an engine failure. I often fly the notorious Cook Strait in NZ, which is about 30 nm, in light singles and we always wear lifejackets. I like how you kept a high altitude over the water as that gives you so may more options. Thanks again for the awesome video.

I've flown to Catalina at least 75 times over the past 2 years. People try to make it hard due to the airport altitude of 1600 feet and having to fly 30 minutes over water to get there. I'll clue you in, if you have your basic radio communication skills down and you can fly the plane strait and level, you will have no problems. In my opinion Alicia makes it seem much harder than it actually is! That's a good thing. I'd rather have a CFI that makes you think and plan for the unexpected than one that is looking at their phone while the student is flying the airplane. Attention to detail will save your life and maybe someone else as well. I like this video, pilot training is always a challenge. Good work.

Jeffrey Krizman they use a go pro with a suction mount. It’s stuck on typically under the horizontal stab and if it falls off in flight it falls away, and doesn’t hit the elevator since it is going to be in a near neutral position. Some people use a safety chain which would hold onto it should it fall off, but then it would be swinging in the breeze still attached via chain to the mount. The pressure of flight against the system is nothing compared to what it would need to release the suction mount. I forget the exact numbers. I believe in flight it, max psi is around 5 and it takes over 10 to push it off the plane if its mounted properly

It blows my mind how freaked out people get about landing and taking off Catalina. It’s windy, fly the airplane, up draft or down draft, fly the airplane. This instructor hardly knows more then the student. And why did she take the controls from her student after landing?????? Crap, let her taxi up there, how is she going to learn? In all reality the only skill it takes is no different then any other runway with asphalt, do a steep approach, get your speed down and put your tires down at the end of the approach end of the runway. Not complicated. One more thing, these newer asphalt jockey younger instructors have a thing for flying long 747 patterns and finals. While in the pattern, were they close enough to glide to the runway if they lost power? It didn’t seem so. Scary Catalina.

Great video! Been to Catalina Island many times and it's always fun when I get a chance to get out there. Seeing the new improved runway tho reminds me that I haven't been out there in awhile...I need to fix that soon! Great job!

Just need to have it at the ready. I carry a harness type with in arms reach. Since you’re usually high enough, there is more than enough time. #properplanning
