Heck yea, My instructor said the first thing one should do after really screwing the pooch is go tell someone, at worst he said you will find you ain't the only one to ride that particular pooch and at best you'll keep someone else from it.. usually a win-win.

That reminds me of the KLM 747 captain at Tenerife. Sad but true.

I don’t think I have ever had this much respect for another pilot in a long time. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us. You make us all better for it. Safe travels.

[@bigal1863]

Thanks for sharing brother. My examiner told me something years ago I never forgot, when he signed my ticket and handed it to me, before he let go of it he said "remember this, it's really a license to LEARN". I remembered, and videos like this add to our knowledge. Thanks again.

[@sint5990]

Can you imagine how much could be learned and the lives that could be saved if all pilots were humble enough to show these videos of their mistakes? Thank you my friend 👍🏽

This was your finest video yet! Knowing that mishaps occur to even the most accomplished pilots is a great service. Helps keep the ego in check. You are truly a humble pilot! Thank you!

Still remember that landing at Arlington. Was a rough one, I remember looking at the grave yard right next to the runway thinking, "wow, thats an odd place for a graveyard", then BAM, we hit like a rock lol.

[@josel5879]

Thnx for share this video. There are two ways to learn: studying and erring. You are a great pilot and I know that to become one you have had to make these mistakes. This makes you great.

[@johnguenet7115]

Love how you recognize your mistake and get back on it and correct,landed short once,incurred a terrible bounce,saved it then was seething about my foul up.Regrouped and did 3 more landings,lesson learned.Would fly with you anytime.

[@jakeinthebox274]

Thank you for sharing your lessons learned. I noticed you said you went back and tried them again. What a way to learn. This is a great example of what we should all do as pilots. Learn from our mistakes and share! This encourages me to follow your lead. Also, I fly mainly in the SE US, and I’m jealous of your backcountry flying!

[@globalaide49]

Remarkable video! As one who has flown the remotes is all corners of the globe, I have to say that I truly understand this fellow pilot and like a brother. We have had many saves in our days and it's only a split second sometimes between a smile and a frown. I just don't break my own rules, my minimums are just that and there is a reason for it. About 25 years ago, I found myself in the soup in a non instrument aircraft after taking off in early morning fog. There were several water towers and other obstructions that could have taken my life that day but, God was good and I did pray hard. That day is ever etched in my mind my foolish mistake of trusting a WX report rather and talking off too early nearly cost me my life. This video is one of the best that I have seen and it should help us all to remain humble and honest with ourselves. Thank you , Backcountry182

[@markb.1259]

From a Non-Pilot to you... Thank You for sharing your "learning moments" with us! I hope you continue to learn every day. Fly Safe!!!

[@guitarTennisCarHomeFixFlying]

I had a hard landing one night and I should not have tried a new technique I had read about which was trying to pull the oak completely back on landing and I ended up dropping above the runway I'm not sure how high I was but the airplane dropped and hit hard likely no damage

[@Newberntrains]

thats a strong airplane how did u not wreck the gear or snap a hub you came very close to a engine overhaul had u hit that fence with the prop

I was very impressed with your video, hardly any pilots have that sincerity. Nothing better than training to improve your performance, I always say that a pilot is like an Olympic athlete: can never stop training! As you said, in aviation you never stop learning, it is a fool who "thinks" knows everything. Congratulations on the video, continue training always.

[@MegaRocket20]

Thank you for sharing, excellent video of some very challenging backcountry landings. Beautiful scenery!

[@StephenGresser]

Thank you. People often don't understand why I want to read about accidents or mistakes made (or watch videos like this one) but as a pilot, the best thing we can do is to keep learning and try to determine what you could have done in the same situation, or how you would react to unforeseen problems (like iced over grass, etc.)

[@EricAdamsYT]

Thanks for sharing your mistakes. I certainly made plenty. I had almost finished my private pilot's license before health issues grounded me. Looking back now on my cross-country solos I'm not sure I was actually ready. 40 hours as a pilot had taught me how to fly an airplane in the most basic sense. Throw in all the technical aspects, weight and balance, radio and airport procedures, navigation, on and on. I felt like I had developed a bit of knowledge and skill but if anything really challenging had come up I have to wonder if I could have handled it. It's a monumental task to be a good pilot.

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

Even as a non-pilot who loves all things aviation, I can still appreciate your willingness to post a few mess-ups for the sake of preventing others’ similar predicaments. And just taking in that breathtaking scenery from a video - I can’t imagine what it’s like for real. Wow!

[@markdickie6616]

Fantastic video and some excellent learning points for all of us. That first one was a bad situation of your own making but the decision making and execution after touchdown were superb.

[@smokeyveras7235]

Bro I just gotta say, the fact that you actually upload your own bad landings, and admit they were bad, is probably the most humble thing I’ve witnessed a fellow pilot do. Almost every pilot I’ve encountered acts like these situations do not or can not happen to them, nor have they ever been in one. That type of shit makes me not wanna discuss the bad landings that I’ve had, because it seems like the result would be that I’m a horrible pilot, a danger to myself and others. It’s basically a voodoo topic with a lot of pilots. I love seeing shit like this. You got my subscription.

So much can be learned from mistakes, even if you're not the one making them, so a big thank you for sharing. You have a really great attitude. The guy on the ground in one of those go arounds yelling "pull up!" when you're clearly very low and very slow was an eye opening moment haha
