Backcountry 182 FLYING TIPS: When slowing down the airplane is SAFER

[@AliceGamble-e5o]

Wonderful channel. Just found it. An amazing humble pilot is to be recognized.

[@silasmarner7586]

Larry, I'm a long time viewer and your videos are always spectacular.

[@cliffpetsch]

Larry, thank you. Absolutely love your video's. I live in Washington state and have a 170B as well. Hope to begin flying back country and try landing on gravel bars soon.

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Where are you based? I can show you around the gravel bars first in my plane if you want

[@jcmecatronica]

Hello from Brazil...love your videos and tips for beginners like me because you always playing on the safe side.. ...pursuing my dream to one day fly too..

So cool.!!how come you don't become an instructor.. You are an amazing pilot and I wish you were my instructor.. Peace man Rolfie

[@itsme_Willow]

Love your content and style I envy how you hit so many remote places. Great video and analysis. If you make it to the northeast of the US I'd love to see you hit some island strips.

Thanks for the videos!

Another great video Larry.

Hi Larry - Hope you are well remember taking my brother & I flying in Costa Rica a few years back. Just watching this video, what in the device on the dash cowl that looks like an aid for aiming point/approach ? Best Regards Nigel

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Hi Nigel, that is an Alpha Systems angle of attack indicator, send me an email and I let you know how it works, I am a dealer, say hello to Guy, my email is [e-mail]

Great video! Appreciate the awesome scenery

[@ValenoxxSnow]

Excellent video! I have a question, why in 2:30 you didnt land from the lake if there wasnt wind?

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Just like to practice the more challenging approach.

@@motoadveBackcountry182 Thanks for the answer! Un saludo desde Argentina!!! Viva Peru!

[@gilkennedy7638]

Love you video ! I'm working on a runway in my backyard, never landed of airport yet when I fly over my house it look so narrow between the trees compare to what I'm use too. I never see somebody talking about the minimum width for landing, would like to here some opinion here...

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

If there are no trees on the sides, it could be as narrow as the tire tracks, we have a strip in Costa Rica like that, kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4etmZSreN6HepY

[@frankrosenbloom]

Larry, what speeds are you actually using? You have a stop setup on your Cessna 182. I have a Cessna 182P and that was the year they put a bit of a cuff on the leading edge so it's good at slower speeds. I don't think I can get it as slow as you are getting it. Is Canyon speed of 75 to 80 miles an hour and approach speed of 70 with 65 over the fence And landing 55 to 60 too fast for the average strips there? I'm not going to go into Wilson Bar. Thank you

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

canyon speed yes 75 to 80mph, approach speed 55 to 50mph, touch down 48 to 52 mph

[@frankrosenbloom]

@@motoadveBackcountry182 Okay, Thank you, I will practice that. I know that at altitude my airplane starts sounding the horn at about 55 but it really doesn't stall until about 35 mph. Now of course that's not at full loads, and the published stall speeds are at full load gross weight. A couple of flight reviews ago we tried to stall the plane and at 35 it just mushed a bit and it didn't really break until 32. That was with half tanks and two people, so it seems I have a lot of room. Without the full STOL kit I may keep it up about five knots from what you use on the approach, but I will recheck it at altitude first.

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Mine has Sportsman STOL kit and VGs, which reduces the stall speed by almost 10mph, so its a big difference from a stock wing

[@frankrosenbloom]

@@motoadveBackcountry182 A friend of mine who's a very experienced back country pilot and owns a C-180 has landed my plane using an approach of 50 mph. I'm not that confident so I will stick to 60. Yes, with your sportsman and VG's you can get much slower. Thanks again Larry. Hope to see you in the backcountry someday.

[@scotteeshelman5714]

This is very amazing, and your ability to fly, and at the same time to not exceed your limits is just extraordinary! How long did it take to get the 182 repaired and flying again?

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Too long, 19 months

[@scotteeshelman5714]

@@motoadveBackcountry182 Thank you for the reply! I understand if maybe this would be something that you wouldn't want to share publicly, but if you were comfortable, it would really be interesting to see and hear how the repairs were done and what needed to be fixed. Where do you even start? Were the repairs done by a private airframe and powerplant specialist, or did Cessna themselves participate in the project? Thanks so much for all your very informative content. It's most important that you were ok after the incident, but I'm also happy to know the airplane is fine as well!

[@yrc1798]

What is the name the dashboard intrumen?

[@kasm10]

How did you mount the go pro for the shot over left shoulder? Is it clipped to seat belt bolt?

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Suction cup to the window
