CAN I GET THIS AIRCRAFT DOWN? | Go around & short field landing in a PA28 | MINI FLIGHT VLOG

Thanks for watching this mini vlog pls 👍 and leave a comment below.

The door was not latched fully from the start as you can see the gap at the start of the video. Good choice on the go around, if it feels wrong it normally is and a go around just mean a few more mins flying (Great). Just add double check door to your check list.

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

You are right actually. I should have included that in the video. I did watch my self check the latch but it clearly wasn’t right when you look back.

[@flyingkub]

@@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs I think it is one of the drawback of the PA28 as the door is so far away from the pilot. Most of the aircraft I have flown have been single seat, tandem or a door on each side.

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Can I come and share a Cub flight with you sometime?

[@flyingkub]

@@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs I think that you would find in rather windy hanging onto the UC on the Kub it is a single seater but would like to meet you and would even break into my pocket money an buy you a cupper.

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

😂😂 sorry I thought I was a 2 seater!! Yes I’ll hold you to that for sure.

[@ForFunFlyer]

How many challenges can a vlogging pilot have in one flight? 😋 But the vid turned out nice! 👍🏻

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thanks Jolmner! Polished a 💩 is what I call it!

[@ForFunFlyer]

@@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs Haha! Well, it's pretty shiny, so good job mate! 🤣

[@richardlloyd2873]

Great, early decision making and airmanship Adam. 👍😊

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thank you sir

[@hovershoot]

Have had this happen a couple of times. Both when I was a passenger and probably should’ve been my responsibility to shut it. 🤓😂😂😂. Add it into your checklist and follow it meticulously. Just a thought....Are you possibly leaving it a bit late to get your flaps down so that your speed is settled earlier?

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

It’s on my check list, but when I checked it it felt ok, but I should have given it more of a whack! I put the third stage in after I had cleared the factories. Fair point though thanks for commenting.

[@hovershoot]

Private Pilot Vlogs Some of them do get a bit loose and pop open. It’s not really a problem as the airflow keeps them shut. Will just cause extra drag and be rather breezy inside. Only really a problem if it rains like it did for us at 5000ft above Rotterdam! I was like, “why am i getting wet?!”🤓👍👍👍 As for the flaps, there is no one size fits all setting. You have to judge it as it on the approach and pick the best setting for the situation. Like picking the right gear in your car for the job. For example, if you have a stinking headwind, you can put them in late otherwise you’re dragging the barn doors in forever. If you’re high, get them out earlier and reduce power, hold the attitude level for a second or three to get the speed on point and then it should drop nicely. As it gets back on the correct glide slope, add a bit of power to catch it if needed. 🤓👍

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thanks for sharing that - great advice!

[@leonechiro1]

If you take flaps out as soon land it makes the roll out and stopping easier aka no bouncing...

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thank you! I actually did that on my previous landing when I nearly ran out of runway!

[@pilotz7975]

Awesome vlog 😳☺️

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thank you

[@Coepilot]

Nice one Adam, had a door latch pop open on a PA38 before; the lower latch saved any major issues though!

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thanks George. Yeah no major issue just a pain in the butt. I didn’t tell the guys that I was with as it scared my mate previously!

[@ChiDraconis]

@@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs *Airbrakes!!!!* Not a factory installed option but it works; Jump seat lean's over to hold the wheel while both front-seat uses both hands on the "Barn Doors"

[@alankroit]

I know what you mean. One of the runways where I fly is a shorter one and I do tend to avoid it. I prefer to do a cross wind landing on the longer runway. I keep telling myself I need to force myself to practice on the shorter runway. It's very importanti n case you ever have to make an emergency landing or shortfield landing.

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Very true thanks for watching.

[@GGAviation]

I always latch the door and then push it at the top and middle to make sure its latched. I do the same when power run up checks are complete :)

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Good idea. I should do that too, it’s happened too many times! Hope you are good.

[@GGAviation]

@@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs All good here, just real busy with work and some more youtube videos :)

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

That’s good to hear. I’m still furloughed till October 😭

[@GGAviation]

@@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs oooh :(

[@JodelFlyer]

I did have it happen to me on a take off roll but shut down and stopped before I became airborne. I never flew in there Adam but buildings did look as if they could cause a problem. Always pays to go around if you are not sure but not so easy at Nayland! 🤔 👍

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

That’s good! Yes it’s always tricky but in the ten years of flying there I only used it a handful of times, hence the dodgy landings! Yes looking forward to seeing Nayland!!!!

[@flyingwithchris2723]

Well done. The Runway 23 demon is put to bed!

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thank you! It’s good to pull off a decent landing on it!

[@alzdeane]

I’ve had the door latch issue on PA28’s twice in 10 years. Annoying but gone around, landed and fixed it.

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Good to know. I’ve been sent an accident report tonight from someone in the US who they knew, who was flying on their own and tried to fix it in the air, but dived and crashed, killing four people on the ground too!

[@petitport]

Always best to go around if it's not looking good! Yes I've had a door unlatched before - my fault for not checking it properly! - Lesson learnt, I always check it thoroughly now!

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

My fault too! Damn thing!!!

[@ChiDraconis]

@@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs There is a Lear that had door open at San Francisco International Airport; The tape of how the controller acted is very instructive for the lack of grasp of the controller that craft needed to 180 ° and take any available place to put it down then like at Chicago where they have a rule no backing out with the reversers▬I dunno you're the humanist not me: What would you do if you were in a hurry and had busted departure time?

I've had Cessna door open when I was a student and its deeply distracting and can affect the instruments. I think instructors usually mention that it can happen so it must happen often.

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thanks for sharing that 👍👍

[@communicatescience]

I stopped flying out of Wellesbourne 20 years ago, so your vids bring back some good memories; not a lot has changed ! Yep, my C152 door popped once or twice. I remember 23 for a) the weird turbulence off the buildings, b) landing into sun with a diffraction grating windscreen - zero vis, and c) saving my bacon after three go-arounds on 18 in a squally storm. Btw, do they still flour-bomb at Wellesbourne ? - got my trophy somewhere.

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thank you for commenting. We have been evicted from Wellesbourne now, moved to Enstone. I did love Wellesbourne though. Good to know I’m not the only one with the door. Yes 23 has a bit of turbulence. I didn’t experience landing into the sun though thankfully!!! I don’t think they do, but that sounds fun! Are you still flying?

[@communicatescience]

@@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs Oh yes, I remember the situation now re your eviction. In 2000, I was living local and flying out of SWFS at Wellesbourne, but after a new job and move to London my flying petered out after a year or so. Flour bombing was fun. Hanging out the passenger window, dropping bags onto a Rover 400 from I think 200ft (can't remember exactly what the dispensation was), preferably without losing your headset. Flight simulation only these days, but I never say never again, so who knows.

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Get your self the new Microsoft Flight Sim and down to your nearest airfield for a Wingly flight. DO IT!!!! 💯👌🏼

[@fredthekiller1441]

It’s like a carry on film

😂😂🙈

[@dawny_otter]

You can still latch the door on a PA28 in flight if you have a passenger. P1 reaches across and pulls the grab handle at the top of the door towards them and the passenger secures the latch. I don't think it's possible for the passenger to do it unassisted once you're airborne as (s)he can't get the leverage required. It's an easy mistake to make particularly if you have a passenger who is also a pilot because you kind of assume they will have latched it properly and you tick off the hatches and harnesses check in your head!

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Thank you for the comment. I’d only ask another pilot to do it. I didn’t tell these guys as I didn’t want to scare them!

[@ChiDraconis]

@@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs Has to be the right type of Pilot; I discontinued efforts to study in-air in-operation for $ reasons but I have seen not just one incident report where tendency to impress non-pilot results in going beyond the envelope with the non-atypical being pulling the wing under trying to tighten up then it just drops away without sufficient room to power out ~ get's into a human-dynamics which I am weak on ===>>> You can always go around: *images.app.goo.gl/kDxSSWKyCy5AUuqn8* Then get another date when on the ground; Instead of being $100 Ground Hamburger
