My instructor has been teaching for 50 years and never had a student fail a checkride. When you get into the flare he says, "Okay, now don't land. Don't land, don't land" until you grease it on. Great technique. You shouldn't be thinking about landing, you should be thinking about not landing. Cool to see you taking that approach as well, it works!

[@benatsea1]

Student here, exactly what I am busy learning.

[@MSneberger]

The big thing for me was speed (in a 172). I already had a rotor private cert and did a fixed-wing add-on with a CFII who takes guys to type ratings in CJ2-3s so he had been around. He had me coming over the fence at 75 knots and I kept bouncing landings. Pretty much starting to fly again. I finally realized he had created a lot of frustration by working me for hours of rental and CFI fees and after an in-cockpit altercation told him I would never get in an airplane with him again. Switched to another school and got an instructor who was almost 80 years old. He had gotten his CFII the year before I was born - and I'm old! We go out for the first time and on our first approach I asked about speed and if we should be over the fence at 75 knots. He says "oh no, that is way to fast. 65 maybe 70 knots or you will have too much energy and bounce the landing." He was absolutely correct and I greased that first landing with CFII number 2 and never looked back. Wasted a LOT of time with that first instructor.

[@hotrodray6802]

BRAVO. Too many students have similar experiences. MOST every student who quit AND pilot I have ever talked to told me they almost quit because of the landing thud their instructor always did. If an instructor cant grease it on every time, find one who does.👍

[@JohnShannonSD]

So simple. Easily missed. 65kts = 75mph. My instructor had me doing the same thing until the light came on.

[@laprepper]

@@hotrodray6802 greasing it in as good as long as you're not doing it at the very end of the runway 😁 better to land the plane firmly with runway to spare then hold off and burn 100 ft and end up in the grass

Shouldn't that be 60 KIAS as stated on the Cessna 172 check list?

[@MSneberger]

@@jackfrostcm108 I trained at KSDL on a 9,000 foot runway that has a long no-land zone between the fence and the runway so perhaps that was an adjustment made by my good instructor.

[@abqphil5444]

I still remember the landing I had to perform for my private pilot check ride. The examiner had me flying above the runway a good 2-3000' AGL. As we passed the mid-point, he said, "Put the aircraft in a slip and land it." Yoke hard left, rudder hard right and down we went. About 100 feet or so above the runway I kicked out of it, pulled back on the yoke to get the nose up and stuck the landing. It helped that the runway was a 13,000 footer formerly used by B-52s at a SAC base that the Air Force closed the year before and turned over to the city. Thinking back on it, that's about the only thing I remember from that flight. So much for all the touch and gos I shot preparing for the exam. I have to admit that I had a great instructor. I'd ask him one of those "What if" questions, and he say, "I don't know, let's go find out." And we did.

[@hotrodray6802]

👍👍 At the end my CP examiner said.... "You van do all the snappy manuvers.. NOW you need to learn to fly like you have 40 people in the back." Best advice I have gotten in 60 yrs.

[@pinepienaar3899]

"I don't know, let's go find out." - i like that!

[@gumbyshrimp2606]

Was it LNK?

[@FamilyManMoving]

Wow. You could have landed an aircraft carrier in 13,000 ft. I'm learning on short asphalt in the middle of a city, surrounded by shopping centers and a river. The fence is 100 foot from the runway. Glide slope is 5%, and the river approach is between tall trees about 300 foot apart. They tell me if I master that place, I'm solid everywhere. We do touch and go/pattern work at different airports because it's too risky at home base with new students. They have a series of chekrides before they let you solo onto that asphalt.

[@matthewmackay4185]

I'm a fairly new pilot, about 160 hours. I have trained with I think 7 CFIs, all of them quite good. But this is the best breakdown and explanation of landings I have heard. I will definitely be putting this advice to work next time I go out. Thank you for making these videos.

Thanks so much for the videos you put out, greatly appreciated!

Great advice! It was guys like you who set the foundation for my career. I'm now a retired Delta captain muckety-muck but I enjoyed your video. I had a leg up when I entered USAF pilot training owing to my GA experience. I liked that you mentioned the lack of flare in a large transport- you shoot for a round out with very little vertical speed and land or else risk a tail strike. Aimpoint and centerline discipline is also a big deal with high performance airplanes. Keep up the good work!

[@loaflyer5663]

Great tip on when to begin the round-out. I never heard that before. My instructor taught me to keep the decent until you feel like something must be done about it. At first I had a tendency to round out too high and that just makes for way too much to that has to be done in a hurry to correct. That's for the videos.

[@harleyarrants4993]

Jason,....Excellent video!!! Learned to fly in an L2 Taylorcraft, (tail-dragger, no flaps). Biggest thing I took from that was learning to operate in the “nose-up” environment. With no flaps to employ, dissipating all of the lift was a real challenge....I also learned, during my training, that, “If you can do it, I can do it”!!! Just show me how....Best feeling in the world was being over the numbers, just high enough and just fast enough to “nail” the landing....Like I said, excellent video....Glad I subscribed.....

[@gordonfeliciano4315]

Excellent illustration and lesson... This was one of the things that my instructor drilled into my head... first and foremost, establish a stable approach. Be on your airspeed on final and locate that aiming point. Then "fly" the airplane to that aiming point and, like you said, once it goes under you, reduce power and begin the flare and let the airspeed bleed off. The stall horn should come on just before touchdown. In our Tiger, airspeed is 80 on one mile final with 30 degrees flap (that's our minimum maneuvering speed), 75 on short final with full flap, 70 across the fence and 65 when the wheels touch down. Of course, things change a bit when you're landing in gusty conditions and crosswinds, but that's for another lesson, eh?. Again, nice job.

Hey thanks for this great video as usual! One comment of yours in the beginning really connected in my mind. You mentioned that you normally do power off approaches. It would be really awesome if you could share a video where you explain what your approach is to this. Do you always fly overhead the airfield at ~2000' AGL and communicate that you are doing a precision landing exercise? Or do you fly a normal traffic pattern and kind of "gauge" at which point you will "lose" power? I too would like to get into the habit of mostly performing power off approaches, as this will be great training for that time when it will not be an option. Thank you so much!

[@MarkHawkinsFlute]

I appreciate your video and the "phase" thing makes sense. I am curious how you describe the round out point vs the aim point when landing on an unmarked runway such as grass, dirt or gravel.

Jason, just by the way you break the process of landing into its 5 sub-components, I know I'm speaking to an expert. A similar situation occurs in the world of shooting, where to be a good shot, you need to know and apply the 4 marksmanship principles. Jason, therefore, has to be one of the best. I love his use of a model plane to support his explanation. Really professional!

[@georgiapatriot4575]

[@TheFinerPoints]

[@tripleseven8361]

Nice video… Thank you! The nose wheel of the 777 has to be carefully lowered onto the runway....With such a high nose to wheel height, in addition to how far off the ground the nose wheel is above the runway during the flare takes getting used to...it’s easier said than done. I miss the days when you could patiently wait for the nose wheel to come down when the aircraft lost elevator authority. I instructed for a long time so it’s great to come back and re-familiarize myself with some of this stuff. Landing technique doesn’t really change much no matter what you’re flying and I think your method of teaching the landing is spot on… In addition, using terminology like “go around” is the same as what the airlines use, so you’re getting the student off on the right foot from day one. Also worth mentioning is your emphasis of the “stabilized approach”. As all of the airlines work towards improving safety, this single item has revealed itself to be one of the most important and heavily emphasized in the industry today.

[@enderjamer9936]

I am a pretty new student pilot and i've been having alot of issues with the landing and this helped alot in understanding the steps and I think it will help me get my landings done and finally solo, thank you!

[@Jhardage62]

These are just excellent videos! I just wanted to add one tip that could help some students struggling with those last few seconds of the landing. Try to not worry so much about executing a "flare" and think of it as more of just holding the low and level flight path you have after you roundout. The plane will naturally flare a bit on its own if you hold that and just let it settle onto the runway. I had total frustration with landings until I stopped thinking "flare" and started thinking of just holding it level. Give it a shot!

[@shreyashandilya838]

thanks!

[@SVSky]

Great stuff! I had my 172 landings nailed, and then I threw two people in the back seat and it changed how the plane responded on the roundout, not my greatest landing. I suggested to my CFI fly the airplane with seats full with a student before the checkride or they take their first pax up to let them account for the difference.

[@TheCruizer21]

don't pull all the power off before touch down, it'll stall prematurely, leave a 'trickle of power on until touch down!

[@SVSky]

@@TheCruizer21 Yeah I started off tandem tailwheel, the M-O was always power off, so switching to tin cans I had a hard time remembering that keeping some power on is ok.

[@sherwoody7580]

One hurdle to get over is going from rote applications of pitch and power. Those rules of thumb will get you close to the right spot, but read your instruments and correlate that to your sight picture. Use whatever inputs are necessary to create the sight picture and aerodynamic forces that you want. That must be filtered through the aircraft limitations, and for nonprofessional pilots, your personal minimums and comfort levels. It’s a tricky step to get through, but in different conditions, different things are done. Command the airplane, do pilot stuff. The difference between “this is what I’ve done in the past” to “this is what I want the airplane doing right now” is a different perspective, but moving to a deeper understanding of how to manipulate the airplane in different conditions to create the desired outcome is the goal.

[@JoshuaTootell]

I took lessons with my GF and another friend in the back, and in another flight with my mom. Obviously the CFI next to me. As long as I wasn't afraid of my ego being hurt by them hearing me get corrected, he didn't mind it. I'm hard to offend, so it didn't bother me at all having them hear my instructor criticizing me.

[@freeagentintheuniverse]

Probably the best video on landings. I like that you don't trip up on the word "flare" and still use "transition" to adjust your viewpoint. Jason, you are a one-of-a-kind CFI. You must really love flying, bc you are able to explain so much... in just a few words. Thank you!

[@robertlipovsky7516]

Thank you for this very helpful video! One question though: at 6:24 when you say "you're slow on the flare here" he's at 60 KIAS...I'm confused as to why that's slow.

[@GooberPilot]

Jason in your intro you have a clip of you performing a walkaround, which video is it?

[@darelfinkbeiner4473]

It's odd, both of my instructors said the opposite: "let it land". Basically, hold your attitude, nose up, and the plane will land when it's ready, don't force it. I had never heard "don't let it land", but I can see what you meant by it. Anyway, these little tip videos are great. I've made them part of my prep for next week's flight review.

[@clarkkent7999]

Never took a formal flight lesson, but for a time long ago, had several pilot friends. I learned to take off, hold course and altitude, make turns, fly figure 8's, etc. One day, I was allowed to make a few attempts at flying a landing approach at idle. But as the plane slowed, it seemed to start flying like a truck, becoming sluggish to respond to the controls. I would overcorrect and wasn't able to keep from getting out of shape and my friend would have to take back the controls. I remember thinking that I could land if I had to in an emergency by keeping just enough power on to maintain better control until I was low over the runway. Are beginning pilots still taught to make their 1st landing attempts at idle?
