How to Take off and Land on a Runway in the ICON A5

[@Crogatho]

The controls on this beauty are so simple, it truly is a recreational aircraft. I love it, wish I could afford one.

[@elliotwhitworth8239]

Hey icon aircraft! I know you probably won’t see this but how does it feel for your aircraft to be included in the new Microsoft flight simulator 2020? Amazing I assume!

[@iconaircraft]

Hey Elliot -- it's very cool. We're definitely excited.

[@elliotwhitworth8239]

ICON Aircraft oh wow! You replied! The A5 is definitely going to be the plane I fly the most 😂

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

Who else is going to land this thing at Merrill C. Meigs, since the airport has literally been converted for it? :D

[@elliotwhitworth8239]

@@CakePrincessCelestia Just googled it. Definitely!

[@noob.168]

They were included in Microsoft Flight (2012)

[@leokimvideo]

Hmmm, curious landing without flaps.

[@jayjayjames2332]

I think it was just because she was doing a touch and go. It is quite a slow aircraft to begin with.

[@yektacantursun4171]

Getting ready for my Icon A5 in FS2020 :D

[@allthatremainsx6]

So easy to land for a beginner. Love it.

[@mahmoudmohmedmohmedali8495]

Yeah, this is one of the greatest things ever made.

[@breyton490]

Saw these at Oshkosh 2021. What a fun plane.. Need one.. :).. but need to get my pilot's license first... at least I have a strategy/plan in place.. figuring out how to pay for all this fun comes later.

[@suzukirider9030]

The 600kg LSA limit is silly and it means that after making the amphibious frame, the 2 seats and the RG - you've only got enough weight limit for a tiny Rotax-912 and tiny fuel tanks. Do you guys plan to make a version of essentially the same but has a bigger engine and fuel tanks for PPL holders who don't care about the 600kg limit (I think it might be a bit more for seaplanes, but still small)? Maybe even a 4-seater? That'd be awesome.

[@omer-jv8yg]

This is my life's dream plane😍✈️ I wish more success😇👐

[@freespiritaviation6221]

Did I hear “runway” don’t you mean anywhere

[@outlawrydr]

Great Video. I have been a fan of the A5 for a while.

[@igo580]

You designed it to land without flaps? interesting

[@ComdrStew]

What is top speed and distance of the ICON? Is it a casual plane or can you go cross country with it?

[@nimbuskhannk627]

ICON Aircraft, can we please have the rationale behind not using flaps?

[@foxgaming76yt24]

Can this land on unpaved runways and operate in cold conditions? If yes, this thing is a beast.

[@JudahMaccabee_]

You need to modify the tires and suspension for bush flight.

[@seantran6689]

❤❤❤ Absolutely amazing piece of machinery

[@garrygballard8914]

Water Rudder ? Up-down ? Would like to know more about that. Thought the aircraft flying rudder was used when in the water ?

[@GenesahDuffy]

The A5 actually has a water rudder that interconnects with the air rudder. When in the water, we hit a little electronic switch that lowers the water rudder into the water for more controllability.

[@rickabell2840]

Standard to have water rudder(s) on Seaplanes.

[@xpeterson]

It’d be super cool to see this guy with the rotas 915 instead

[@_S.H_]

Looks like I am going to be watching lots of real planes video tutorials to learn how to fly in MSFS2020 :D

[@fargknob]

Enjoyed the vid.....the AOA is fasinating.......one day I hope to fly one....sweet airplane. thanks

[@robertwren2289]

My RC version also like power on to land unless you're higher and coming down to keep up your air speed. I so wish my RC had flaps. Why aren't you using flaps for landing?

[@sveineinarhagen9408]

it would be a dream to get one of these

[@jiajianhou426]

Great tutorial for FS2020

[@travisSimon365]

On takeoff, so you get adverse yaw (I think that's the term - uninitiated yaw due to prop wash hitting the side of the tail) with the rear-facing propeller?

[@mike309saa]

So in what situation are flaps used if it's no flaps for take off or landing? Is it for short field take off?

[@john_0z3n]

that`s a great question indeed. looks like the answer is short-field and water take-off and landings with full flaps

[@michaelhille261]

Love watching your videos 👍🏻 top notch

[@cintula82]

So flaps are not needed for landing?

[@TecHnosMark]

I'm curious about something, she take off and land without FLAPS, that's mean the A5 only need FLAPS for water landing and take off?

[@moxxiloquita2048]

I have a few questions. Is this plane on sale in Holland and is the action radius only about 500km? My father is looking for a new plane and I love this one, so I could fly it as well. But the radius is so low, did I read it wrong or is out only 500km? That's too low, so I hope I read it wrong...

[@iconaircraft]

The A5 has a range of ~420NM, so about 780KM. If you're interested in learning more about overseas delivery, please contact us through our site at iconaircraft.com

Flight Simulator 2020 Deluxe Brought me here

[@buny690]

Is that thing has a radio? Or a sound system?

[@liamkarlsrud4916]

dam that's cool one day ill be able to afford one

[@alex321neo]

Does this airplane have ATC radios?

[@andresramirez4183]

Tardes srta yo vivo en bogota y volamos ultraliviano en la sabana de bogota en cali y el tolima queria saber el costo de su ultraliviano y para traerlo a colombia gracias srta

[@fallofmanbrand]

Loved It!

[@JohnPavilonis]

Why do you have the flaps up for both takeoff and landing?

[@GenesahDuffy]

In the A5, normal runway takeoff and landings are done with zero flaps.

[@Play2winbaby]

Zero flaps takeoff and landing ... when are flaps useful, short field ?

[@JohnPavilonis]

@@GenesahDuffy I then assume the flaps are used for water landings for a slower touch down.

[@GenesahDuffy]

Play2winbaby yes, short field and soft field landings we use flaps. Normal, none.

[@GenesahDuffy]

JohnPavilonis correct, all water takeoff and landings are done with full flaps.

[@hyouzanren1846]

I watch this before taking off in MFS 2020 just to be safe! 😌😌😌

[@mjaycub123]

What is the cost

[@hoytarmorn6415]

สวยดี ราคาจะแพงมากไหมในต่างประเทศ

[@Gullehk]
