How to do Short Field Landings , Techniques, Examples, and what to Avoid

[@onebravotango]

Good tutorial with great instructions on short field landings! This is extremely useful for many student pilots looking to enhance their skills. Thanks for sharing!

I come here for the amazing footage. Keep flying safe

Student here with PPL check ride in a few days and stumbled upon your page. I wish I was being taught this now to learn and perfect actual short field landings rather than all this focus on airspeed, aiming points, PAPI lights, etc., that just seems so sloppy and unpredictable. This is so very useful to see you talk through and show what you are doing!

Informative and beautifully edited. I am going to takr this back into the simulator.

I don't have any backcountry experience but this really makes it appealing. Great camera work and awesome flying. Thanks for sharing.

Wow nice views

Always enjoy your videos. Your techniques have added to my confidence and as a result I've taken my Piper 140 to way more places than I otherwise would have gone to. I practice the very low pass in ground effect regularly as well as slow flight. I also think that just doing circuits regularly is often overlooked by a lot of pilots. Other pilots think I'm odd because I find going out and doing 8 or 9 circuits is actually a very fun way to spend an hour. For GA pilots I think we should all have at least a 2 to 1 ratio of landings to hours. At age 54 I've only been flying for 4.5 years with 500 hrs but with 1300 landings. As you always show, landings are really the most important part of the flight usually.

Agreed 💯

4:43 That mooney landing is boss! I had to watch it 3 times to believe it.

I went out in my 182P and practiced this the other day. I was able to land (stopped) in appx 850'. I practiced on a 6700' runway in light wind conditions. (KSRB). Started with slow flight over the runway a few times, then a stabilized approach @ DMMS transitioning to just about slow flight on final, flaps 40, I'm gonna continue working on it.👍

Love seeing the footage of TI-ABE in the Frank Church wilderness :)

When you increase power and gain altitude, it is only because the angle of attack also increased, either by the propeller slipstream or by back pressure. Power alone will not increase or control the altitude.

I just got my first plane (Cubcrafters NX Cub) and I fly in the Puget Sound area. I would love to pick your brain about backcountry flying in our area.

Send me an email [e-mail] I am in Costa Rica right now but will be back in 3 weeks, be happy to help and fly together .

[@mikeshort3838]

Nice C170! Don’t see many of them with a constant speed prop. I remember a while back you damaged the 182 on a beach. Is it back together now? I have a very similar one 73p with Pponk, sportsman wig cuff and VGs. Love it!

[@motoadveBackcountry182]

Yes I am Costa Rica right now flying it

[@boblethbridge6292]

Controlling the approach with a sideslip allows an energy margin of safety; very useful if you can't garauntee gust-free conditions!

[@kasm10]

thank you I will try to fly better in my 172rg

[@rafirosin]

I recently got my PPL, but watching this obscene amount of proficiency makes me feel like making into the FSDO and turning it in

[@JesusLopez-kz2yu]

Awesome
