Normal & Crosswind Approach & Landing - Lesson 1

[@olgakearney1543]

I have just watched this video for the 3rd time. It's pure gold.

[@nealhere]

I have watched this video maybe nine times and find it valuable every single time. You covered seemingly all of the details about Crosswynde landings which is very valuable even to a instructor like me I keep learning from it. Thank you emery all the best Neal southwest Florida

[@sami10z]

After watching this video , my flight today really went better with my landings. I think this video is great for people who have trouble getting the flow of the landing and flare .

[@e30kitty]

@Arduino Stein He is watching informations and learning from that, and you?

[@pilotactor777]

the more you watch , the better you become-.Assimilation is the key.Some instructors dont teach basics well enough.

[@reynromero8938]

Agree. My landings were definitely more consistent with these tips in mind.

[@sibtainbukhari5447]

@Arduino Stein whats wrong with learning something off youtube ? whats the difference between learning by reading a book written by somebody or being taught by the same person in a video ? as long as the source is a credible one( which I am pretty sure this one is) nothing wrong with learning off a youtube video

[@karthigesanmurukan9780]

Arduino Stein a good pilot knows how to keep himself open to lean in various ways. Everyone learns differently

[@ExtremeBlueSky]

The detailed flight dynamics description/narration was spot on! As 5 hour student pilot I must say Thanks for filling in the blanks!

[@ExtremeBlueSky]

I just hope I dont over-think my next landing!

[@Nicolas-is3gq]

The seal at 9:40 was epic. Great video, thank you!

[@warren5699]

Starting at 5:12, thank you for a good and correct discussion of how to manage pitch and power to correct to the glideslope from below or above. It's a simple procedure but it's explained incorrectly in nearly all of the many videos I've seen.

[@KosherWithoutBorders]

These videos are great for me! I'm getting back into flying and they fill in the gaps in my memory. Thank you SO MUCH for making them.

[@alexshawn528]

Personally, I think this is the best explanation regarding using visual reference of the runaway length to determine the descending height and what decision to be made accordingly. This is the crucial point that many other tutorials overlook or don't explain clearly. Good job!

[@harpy5728]

Today i might get my first solo and this video is just great. Thanks for the upload and sharing information with people ! Greetings from Istanbul.

[@MrCoincoin21]

I wish my CFA would have explained me this way before landing the first time, instead of yelling all the time…

[@oliversibbs]

I had almost the same experience with my CFI, I fired him and went with a more competent, one

[@oldglory1944]

The best X wind instruction we've seen to date ! Short course is: Ailerons are the LARGEST control on the plane & the LEAST understood !!! Ailerones ROLL to make turns, BANK to control DRIFT over runway, then provide directional control on roll out with AILERON yaw, as the wee little rudder stalls as relative wind shifts to the airport Xwind. Cheers R Fuchs CFI 1507987

[@pilotavery]

Rod Machado has a really good KZbin video on how to know when to do the round out and clear properly. For those without depth perception or with one bad eye, his method uses the geometry of the 2D picture rather than judging distance. Try using this method if you struggle with judging distance properly.

[@aking9999]

Great Video, speech slow and clear, easy to understand, and also to comprehend the message !

[@stevenpeyton7476]

I'm 4 hours into my training and I love this video! The graphics are so helpful for me, showing rudder and yoke action on a split screen is awesome!

[@abdihakimnoor6068]

Stephen Peyton my where can I get the training of air traffic control, I needed to learn am in Kenya and what kind of qualification is needed need ur response if u know

[@MrTakeOne]

What do you use to study as in books what’s best

[@jeffb1886]

I've been flying single engine planes for 20 years with over 1000 hrs logged. I decided to watch this. What has become 2nd nature for me was described in beautiful detail and I even learned some of the "why-s" that I didn't know before (or forgot)!! ;-) Great video! For those of you just starting out, don't worry...you'll get there!!

[@alejandroli2]

That’s crazy to compare 1000 over 20 years vs me 1000 in a single year in single engine airplanes lol

[@elleholub1693]

This video was good with the exception of stating that if you're low you should pitch up. That thought process is very dangerous. If you're low, you add power, then to maintain your airspeed, you pitch up. But using pitch for altitude when you're already low and slow is what causes pilots to stall, and at an altitude that is too low to recover from. Pitch for airspeed, power for altitude! It is correct that the two will go together, but do not correct your altitude with pitch, correct it with power!

[@karhukivi]

He does say this at 5:20.

[@yvesbajulaz]

@@karhukiviah yeah? so if you are low over some grape-stakes, you are not gonna pitch up? Just give it more power and stuff yourself in faster? So how are you gonna fly when you have auto throttle? How are you gonna aim? Has to be pitch... that's the way an autopilot flies also. How do you fly an ils? Dont you pitch for glideslope?

[@mrmoose70mc95]

I've always been taught to use power to control height, and pitch to control speed on the approach to land, and then use the other resources only slightly. Not to use the two together at once. Too low = Increase power, and then pull up slightly once you've gotten the power you need to safely pull up without getting too close to stall. Too high = Decrease power, and then push down slightly. Too fast = Increase Pitch, and then decrease speed slightly. Too slow = Decrease pitch, and then increase power slightly if needed. This always worked well for me, but I've never used the two together at once on an approach to achieve a different outcome.

[@hughirvin8356]

Actually, what you described is using the two together. The video said that when you change one, then you will need to change the other, which is what you are doing.

[@dogsborodave]

I caught that as well. For a stabilized approach I keep my speed pegged with pitch and control altitude with power.

[@csmith8503]

Using the throttle as the primary control for changing altitude will result in much safer flight habits. Too many pilots use pitch first which results in sometimes risky speed variations.

[@rezaesfahani6573]

The best vido ever I have seen for PPL training and a fantastic presentation of safe landing,thank you so much

[@gulambalakhanov]

Great lesson,beautiful animations.Thank you so much.

[@cq7415]

Nice presentation. Very well presented. Thanks for sharing.

[@BassBaseBerlin]

Well ... I'm not a pilot. But an (IT) engineer - and a guest on lots of business flights. And this was for me really interesting to understand what pilots are doing when approaching. I have seen the "crab-method" in many videos and now understood the physics behind the "lowering the wing to the wind side". So great video and much respect to every pilot! I'll stick to my four wheels ... I can imagine how many exercise and experince is needed to get a plane down safely in a storm. Respect!

[@HOLLYWOODlosANGELES]

Many many special thanks for your kind effort. I was looking forward to watch it. You issued so much lessons in this very short 15 minutes properly. Great exampling, wonderfull teaching... Evaluating both ''Crab Approach and Side Slip landing methods'' part in this video was absolutely amazing as the other parts. Thanks to all ERAU family for that videos.

[@welkincheng]

This Video also helps new instructor how to give the instruction 👍🏼

[@chrisscott1547]

I like the wing-low method for Cessnas, and the Crab (kick-out) method for Pipers.

[@xuyan2650]

I should've found this video before I start the landing traninig. It's really valuable video. Thank you for the animation

[@pappybo49]

Very well done 👍. Excellent instructions throughout. Every pilot should review this video then grab an instructor and go practice crosswind takeoffs and landings.

[@nealhere]

Run out of lift”. I like that replacement for stall

[@The_Flying_Mechanic]

I believe from experience the majority of landings I make are crosswind even though runways are primarily aligned with prevailing winds. It’s such a critical skill I see even 100 hour pilots failing to understand or use!

[@JaseCJay]

We should keep in mind that depending on what direction we vacate the runway, our aileron/rudder correction may likely need to be different during taxiing..

[@dirtyshame2444]

You people are lucky, I never had digital stuff...Just steam and valves..The video is very good. Practice, make at least 200 touch and goes...God had to safe me a few times...

[@garyggarner7738]

Thank You for an excellent Video! Very thorough and accurate!

[@brucethecurmudgeon8538]

AWESOME VIDEO! Well done Sir.

[@erniekindree5762]

You are 90% correct. If you are to high on the approach reduce power only do not lower nose because it will increase airspeed and then you will have to slow the plane down increasing workload. In high winds of 70 to 80 knots the tower may let you land on a taxi way if the wind favors it in an emergency.

[@oekfoh8684]

I've gotten quite alright with my landings but my last flight I encountered significant crosswinds I wasn't used to during my training (Under 20 hours). My instructor was pretty shitty about my landings that day and this video addressed why they were so bad

[@MrTommywang]

Great video! The only thing wrong is power should be used for controlling rate of descend and pitch for speed.

[@BeAManPodkast]

Yeah this video was done in 2017 (but may have been created way earlier). I'm wondering was it not as common to teach "pitch for speed, power for altitude" when it was made.

[@josehidalgo7745]

Excellent explanation very clear is best understood this way with the plane pointing at the 3 degree angle and the runway entrance, if you could please and excuse the abuse as you do on a short runway landing with crosswinds, and thanks and a big hug virtual

[@MrSuzuki1187]

Perfect explanation of how to make a technically correct crosswind landing!! My only comment is to remove the crab a little earlier than what you said so that the pilot can figure out how much aileron and rudder to use. An earlier crab will also tell the pilot if the crosswind is out of limits for a safe landing. I have been a current and active CFI for the past 52 years and have 4,000 hours of tailwheel time including 3,000 hours in the Beech 18 and DC-3, many of those hours teaching crosswind landings. Unbelievably, the FAA Flying hand book recommends a maintaining the crab until just prior to touchdown, then leveling the wings and land before the airplane starts drifting. This is physically impossible and can easily lead to an accident!! You totally debunked this kick out and land technique. Thank you SO much for telling pilots precisely how to make a technically correct crosswind landing.

[@AmericusMaximus]

There is so much here, a lot to remember. Fortunately, some of it is intuitive.

[@sunilkumar-wc4xx]

I always subconsciously knew take off is easy by landing is quite challenging. This proved me right. Such expensive aircraft landing is so complicated huh

[@dickjohnson4268]

During windy conditions while driving, you subconsciencely turn the steering wheel into the wind. Youv'e done it for years, unless you just got your driver's license. Even then, you know that you are doing or you go off of the road. You are alreading controlling drift without even thinking about it. Just add the other elements to flying a plane and you can enjoy the crosswind challenge. It 's fun.

[@GZA036]

If you plan on a career flying transport aircraft, one habit to get out of is aiming for "brick one", the threshold, the numbers... Aiming point should be abeam the VASI/PAPI lights or the actual aiming point marking (if the runway has one), so that you never go below the glideslope, then flare and touch down in the touchdown zone.

[@geoffballe8766]

Excellent

[@TenMinuteTrips]

Very informative video. However, I noticed that there is no mention of the need for right rudder in the flare, even in a calm wind landing. When the nose is pitched up to the Vy attitude, P-factor tends to cause the airplane to yaw to the left, just like in takeoffs and climbs. I only recently soloed after many hours because my landings still suck. Often, it’s because I didn’t do anything with the rudder. Just thought I’d add that tip.

[@ERAUSpecialVFR]

TenMinuteTrips With the airplane at flight idle, the left turning tendencies are negligible. Rudder should be used as necessary during the flare to counter any crosswinds and keep the nose aligned with the centerline.

[@vinsavi]

Every student pilot must watch this and digest it before flying

They breezed over adverse yaw’s effects without naming it. It’s good to understand what adverse yaw is and when you encounter it. 13:00 during the explanation of side slip.

[@oldglory1944]

On the runway; Ailerons PROPORTIONALLY, opposite to the rudder requested. A good habit in plane, but counter to muscle memory driving car. Drive plane on ground like car, and ailerone yaw will drive one off the runway. MUST break car habit to successfully maneuver safely pLnane on runway.
