Backcountry Aviation's STOL Tips (Balked Landings, Aborted Approaches, and Go-Arounds)

learntolandshort.com/upcoming-...
This is the 4th video in our series about safe flying procedures and fundamentals for aviating in the backcountry. Please Join us for Balked Landings, Aborted Approaches, And Go-Arounds. These procedures are an essential tool for safe operations when flying in the Backcountry. We use a Maule, a carbon cub, a piper super cub, and a Stinson to demonstrate these maneuvers in a backcountry environment. Full a full writeup go to:

Where the hell has this video been hiding? This is such good information for any pilot...not just back country fliers. Planning, precision and practice. It just makes sense. Thanks for this.

[@EvanLuft]

This isn't just information for back country flying..... its for good flying in any aircraft! :)

[@FlightChops]

This video is freakin' AWESOME. Great content, excellent story flow and well edited. And I love the air to air stuff! It's so well shot that you don't even think about how the shot was captured - you just assume there is an omnipotent camera floating in the perfect place to get the shot.

[@Backcountryaviation]

Thanks! That means a lot coming from someone that knows there way around video! (I certainly don't, these take me some time!). The credit on the air to air goes to my wife, she flew most of the chase plane stuff and believe it or not those shots are with a go-pro so you can imagine how close we had to get for usable footage.

[@FlightChops]

Backcountry Aviation That's awesome "camera plane" flying by your wife! I think I have your info filed; but just in case (and if you're into it, please email me at flightchops at gmail dot com) I'd love to meet you and do some of that awesome big wheel flying with you!

[@Backcountryaviation]

***** I'll shoot you an email. Sounds like a blast!

[@jean-paulsablerolle7702]

I love it

[@MargaretLeber]

***** You gotta love narration like _"If it isn't properly timed,, or you end up kattywompus for any reason, you must not hesitate to give it the onion..."_ :-)

[@Mavrick1509]

I'm so glad I came across your channel, bush flying has always been my dream job and I hope one day to make it a reality.

[@baker2niner]

Perfect coverage of the questions - good mention that you have to commit (no 2nd guessing) and know your slow flight transitions (plane) well. I get into balks most when I haven’t gotten “aggressive” about landing after long legs. Cruise seems to lull me into a more reactive, complacent state. Something like dozing when driving. First thing on my list is to sit up and crack out of that. “I’m going to put this thing RIGHT THERE!” Good video

[@photo_rohan]

So glad I found this channel! Awesome stuff!

[@Aviation101]

Awesome video - A lot of really great information.

[@gagesadventures8213]

Love your videos! Very well made and informatonal

[@corkgraham1]

Love your channel-Great content for bush pilots!

[@Stevealaska99567]

I agree 100%. Great video!! The only other thing I do, not mentioned here is to limit my go arounds to (3). If I have to look at it more than (3) times I am fixated on the spot and should look for a better landing spot. I heard Paul Claus share this ides at Valdez a few years back and it stuck with me. I have put myself in trouble pushing myself to force a landing because of multiple reasons instead of looking for a different spot. I once landed on a extremely short gravel bar on a creek because I wanted to hunt a particular spot. Flying out a couple days later I found one twice as long around the next bend. I missed it because I was fixated on this great spot which in comparison was crap compared to the one I missed.

[@Backcountryaviation]

that is not a bad policy. I will sometimes do a few more passes, but never compromise the overall safety. On the other hand if I actually try to land and balk three times that is a different deal all together.

[@benjay2985]

WOW That shot of Tyre Deformation on landing is a great one.. Same from end of last video i watch :) Great planes guys and nice vids.. keep it up

[@joel_laguardia]

Very well said

[@happierinverted]

Excellent video. Thanks - lots of good sensible information.

[@Backcountryaviation]

Thanks! they take a bit of time to make so it is always nice to hear feedback.

[@MrTrippintime]

Exceptional video! Thank you so much for all your hard work and time putting this together. Where are you based out of, do you offer instruction?

[@Oshkoshtruckfan]

Very nice. Thanx

[@ridescb]

another great video!

[@Backcountryaviation]

Thanks!

[@HookedOnUtah]

Great instructional video, loved it.

[@Backcountryaviation]

Thanks!

[@beeble2003]

+HookedOnUtah ITYM "Great entertainment video that is not instructional and DOES NOT replace instruction from a qualified flight instructor, loved it" :-)

[@overback2328]

Over & Back by Wild Bill Callahan....on Amazon. Flying INTO Mexico loaded with illegal contraband. Beech 18s, DC-3s, C-46s back in the 1980s. Paperback recommended.

[@jeanurlacher]

Very nice ! Thanks! Please send more videos on techniques, it's very interesting and usefull ! :)

[@Backcountryaviation]

We have a few more up already. If you go to the STOL tips playlist they are there.

[@KowboyUSA]

Okay, I can do this. Any of you want to let me use your airplane?

[@Ringele5574]

Great video. I imagine flying off-field take 100's of hours before one is an expert.

[@mikesuch9021]

These bush pilots have crazy skills.

[@peterwinksalot]

The Air to Air shots were amazing! What camera did you use?

[@ThinkGarage]

preciso de plantas para construção amadora, poderia me indicar algum website onde posso comprar através de dowload ?

[@willivey7516]

If you don't mind me asking, about how much does one of those planes cost?

[@Chrizke22]

where is this??

[@herbpatterson9594]

Wow Man I rest YOU! I am a high time IFR pilot.. I am 67 non commercial. For Fun! Big Game etc. I owned a Turbo 210 Roberston STOL Intercooled 6607B Just got my license back (Cancer) and no fear but good pilot. I want this Airplane. What about the Turbine Cub? Seems a Turbine very inefficient at Low Slow Correct? I will come out and train until efficient in my airplane. Are you a Broker? Very interested at PAX River NAS Captain. Herb Bogie OFF.

[@abdollahgilani4119]

Herb patterson Hi , how much did the Roberson stol kit improve your already C210 short field capability ?

[@CantPickTheNameIwant]

what's the name of intro soundtrack?

[@billybobsbanjo]

Wow this is the best one you have done so far. I have just re-watched all of the other ones as well. Where can I find the articles you used to post with these? and what happened to the hot chick in your earlier videos?!

[@Backcountryaviation]

Thanks! www.backcountrypilot.org/stol-tips is where the write-ups are. She was primarily flying the chase plane to get the air to air.

[@XCHUSKYXC]

Very nice video, what is the name of the song played in the beginning?

[@Backcountryaviation]

It's a stock song. I believe it is called Cool Whistle off of premiumbeats.com

[@XCHUSKYXC]

Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

[@feetgoaroundfullflapsC]

why so much aileron to almost full on every landing??

[@Backcountryaviation]

Small ailerons I guess. Cubs and cessna’s seem a little better in that dept, but the maule has plenty to offer elsewhere. I didn’t ever realize how much movement it requires till we shot it for these videos.

[@Joe_Not_A_Fed]

@@Backcountryaviation I imagine control authority must be shite at those low airspeeds. Y'all are churning those controls hard enough to have fresh butter after every landing.

[@steveburrington4288]

I am a Maule PPL in Spicewood, TX (88R). Would you consider flying with me in my Maule? Hit me up.

[@Backcountryaviation]

I still make it down there from time to time. You can find my contact info @ www.backcountryaviation.com

Knowing when and how to go-around is a must. This is what separates the men from the boys.

[@pops9190]

Fantastic vid.... Love this stuff ..... GO AROUNDS? We know, no such things... Get your sailplane ticket, if nothing more, than for the 100's and 100's of zero Go Around landings you will preform 100% of the time, period. Your mind is a bit deeper then you think, when go around's simply don't exist. Wish I could add back country power flying to my soaring!

There's not enough skill, practice, or experience to make the wind stop blowing
