Crazy Crosswind Landings & Ground Loops | Oshkosh EAA AirVenture 2022

[@LeppAviation]

Firstly, my apologies for a few of the aircraft ages being wayyyy off. I mainly go off what Flightradar24 gives me, but obviously some of them are very inaccurate. Secondly, @4:56, it should be a Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer! Reg is also N7012D, not N70210, and it’s 65 years old. I probably should’ve checked to see that a Raven S49A is a balloon 😂 thanks to everyone that pointed that out.

[@whosaidyoucandance]

I think we all knew what you meant 😅

[@WarblesOnALot]

G'day, And, not only but also, you claim that a P-51 D Mustang is "61 years old"..., and that's how old I am, but in 1961 North AmeriKan was NOT building P-51s any more, and the DC-3 was NOT still being built in 1955, either... What did you do, ignore the History Books - and then look up when the Airframes first went onto the Civilian Register ? "Must Try Harder....!" As one's School Reports used to say... Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

[@PoochAndBoo]

I'm a little confused. How is it a Pacer? I clearly see the nose wheel of a Tri-Pacer. Was it a conversion? Would be a strange thing for someone to do to a classic airplane.

[@marlinweekley51]

It’s good to know so many are still interested in real facts - very interesting watch 😀👍

[@PoochAndBoo]

Thanks for correcting that. But, wow, as a real-life pilot, I was sweating out those landings as though I was in the airplanes! Taildraggers are a handful in a crosswind. I owned a SONEX which wasn't all that bad, really. But I've flown the J-3 and the Citabria and they DEMANDED your attention on landing. You aren't done flying a taildragger until you've shut 'er down.

[@oldschoolcfi3833]

I just want to salute every pilot who executed a go-around when things got dicey. That's the difference between an Aviator and a mere pilot. They saved their aircraft, and maybe themselves, regardless of how it looked, or what inconvenience it may have caused the controllers.

[@12345fowler]

Dramatic much ?

[@michaelmcgovern8110]

100% agree: TOGA and try again. Just a LITTLE bounce/"porpoise" on landing after floating like this and you'll bend, then BEAK the aircraft. Especially of you kiss the nose first and the leverage SLAMS down the rear of the airframe... Go Around!

[@stevenvicino8687]

Best crosswind landing I ever saw. Riding shotgun in a '46 Ercoupe, no rudder pedals. Steering 45 degrees into the wind. We tracked down to the runway like we were on rails. Right at the flare, he straightened us up and I heard a single chirp from the tires. RIP dad.

[@tench745]

Props to the camera operator here. It can be difficult to keep an airplane in frame but every one of these landings is captured perfectly.

[@flybobbie1449]

Not much aileron, which would have helped.

[@ralphlong9973]

You good tell the MAULE pilot handles crosswinds on a daily basis. Well done

[@skydive1424]

Very interesting! Brings me back to my CFI days teaching cross wind operations in tail draggers. What I would hammer in; for one ALWAYS keep your upwind wing low and NEVER let up. Secondly, as soon as it touches down FULL aileron into wind, right down to walking speed and even then, keep it there. I see time and again; when the wheels are on the ground, people relax and neutralise controls an thats where stuff goes bad...

[@Greatlakessailing]

Never be afraid to go around if you get a bad approach. Pride is much cheaper than a plane.

[@tomarmstrong1281]

All my students were schooled that the landing was an option. What I see on this video are airplane drivers 'feeling' for the runway. I wonder how many of them practice crosswind approach and landing procedures with a good instructor? Most airplanes can easily handle at least twice the published crosswind limit. I once found myself in a situation of having to land in a PA 28 in a given cross wind of 40kts. The Piper had plenty of control ability available. Taxying was the real challenge.

[@ElsinoreRacer]

Amen. Not done flying until it's tied down. Everyone's approach speed seems excessive beyond the extra for the crosswind. In tail-draggers in a heavy crosswind with a lot of runway: why flaps? By using flaps and reducing the airspeed at touchdown, they thereby raise the crosswind component. And are your worst enemy when trying to keep the upwind wing down on roll-out and during taxi. Flaps are only useful when they are useful. Otherwise..... ahhh no.

[@superpilotish]

That's the way it's done. That technique works on nose-draggers too!😉

[@108hitchcock]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall seeing hardly anyone correcting for the crosswind after landing.

[@youtube.youtube.01]

Hats off to the skillful pilots who accepted the challenge and succeeded in a safe crosswind landing!!!

[@joecarpenter4522]

I really thought that one Bonanza [that did end up going around] was going to stall right over the pavement; that was difficult to watch. As my flying journey has progressed to now being an airline pilot, I’m convinced even more that there’s simply no room for ego on the flight deck of whatever we’re flying. When that moment arrives that we know it’s time to power up and get out of there, let’s just do it! Swing around for another pass - no problem! If it’s really ugly, and sometimes it is, let’s go somewhere else! Safe flying 😎

[@Chevette924]

I agree with you on that one... that one had me wincing in my seat and should have been a go-around the instant they were too high and dipped their left wing

[@sblack48]

[@scottsmith7051]

Thanks for naming the airplanes...cheers to all the pilots!

[@flyinhawaiian5848]

With that kind of crosswind component, it's amazing to me how many of the pilots in this video held in very little or no upwind aileron during the roundout and rollout phases of the landing. The P-51 @ 2:22, Aeronca @ 8:53, and T-6 @ 10:39 were some notable exceptions. Wonderful video!

[@garygazman3827]

You are correct. There were only a couple that had the wing down !

[@Slowburner68]

To me it seem like the tail draggers tended to have better crosswind corrections and kept flying to the end of their ground roll in the video.

[@mhoeltken]

The aeronca was flown very skillful, that was fun to watch. Also one of the few pilots not carrying waaay too much speed into the landing, as it seems.

[@mhoeltken]

@@Slowburner68 They need to. Otherwise the pilot is flown by the aircraft.

[@charlesfoster141]

Such a relaxing compilation of airplane landings. Many don't realize that the controllers instruct many of these planes to fly down to the mid point of the runway before touching down so that another plane can land simultaneously at the threshold. Also, controllers may rush you to vacate the runway immediately into the grass. You best do it too. My friend and I were nearly run down by a B-17 that landed right behind us. We barely were in the grass when he caught up and overtook us. We were in a Cessna 182. This occurred back around 1979 when we were young aviators. Now we are very old aviators lol!!

[@damienpenny]

That V tail had me on the edge of my seat! I hope they see this and learn. It clear in the video that he was toying with a near fatality. Wow.

[@carlwilliams6977]

17:30 I'm assuming you're talking about this one? I'm guessing the issue was that he was still at landing power for his go-around, and was close to stalling? Obviously a non-pilot here!!Timestamps are helpful!

I watched in person and i thought he was going to die for sure

[@watashiandroid8314]

The Tri-pacer and the Skyhawk who let their upwind wing come up were not using crosswind controls either. The 180 that hit the wing tip even helped the upwind wing upward. Best airmanship might be those who went around or those who refused 36 at Fisk.

[@dennismorgan516]

It's common practice at both Air Venture and Sun-N-Fun to segment the runway to accommodate 3 or more A/C landing on the same runway at the same time. They place large colored circles on the centerline at various distances down the runway and instruct the arriving pilots to "go all the way down and land on the green circle." They don't want to hear you on the radio either. They call you by make, model, and color for instructions and the pilot acknowledges by rocking his wings. Going to Sun-n-Fun one year I was so busy listening to my air band radio and watching the steady stream of traffic that I passed the airport by 5 miles. Really fun to listen to, though.

[@MrBlloyd61]

Glad you pointed this out, as i was about to. Although many pilots when tasked with landing beyond their 'spot' when it was a long way down the runway, seemed to keep the piano keys as their aiming point, and then skim the runway 'til they reached their spot - instead of making the spot their aiming point and flying a normal approach to that point. Lots of them were applying power to keep flying, close to the ground, in a crosswind. Possibly not the best technique!

[@Coops777]

Beautifully videoed. Well done. Would have been a great day for the enthusiastic sideliners holding up their landing score cards lol The wings level, nil aileron into the wind landing methods seem to net a lot of dangerous low speed ballooning and floating.

[@PLANEMANIA747]

Beautiful capturing ❤ Great varieties 🤩

[@av8tore71]

@8:38 the aircraft (blue & white) landing is a North American Navion. They built these aircraft on the same jigs as the P-51 Mustangs

[@Coops777]

This is the second time I've watched. Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I noticed two things common to most of the aircraft landing there. Firstly, lots of pilots were electing to use what looked like more than one stage of flaps and secondly, precious few pilots put aileron into the wind after touchdown. The crosswind appeared to be very strong and gusting. Flaps would only serve to encourage ballooning in my view. The use of ailerons on a wing in stalled attitude is a very powerful yaw tool which can be used to counter a strong crosswind in the last part of a landing roll.

[@haroldanderson6021]

Nice camera work. Model and age are really neat to have on your video even if there were a few inconsistencies. Let someone else try to catalog all of these! Those complainers probably never have attempted to build even a simple video. It's hard work, good job!

[@pilotken8685]

While I don't have time in all of these aircraft to speak to their characteristics specifically. At this event you have multiple aircraft landing on the same runway and even taxiways at the exact same time. There are colored markers that each landing aircraft has to target for landing. As a result a higher angle is sometimes needed.

Best thing to do is keep a little power all the way to you h down.
