|Private Pilot |How to land | Cessna 172 | How To Fly

Pre solo private pilot student working on how to land in the Cessna 172 . Was a solid day and the student is getting really close to figuring it out .
As the instructor I’m still leading him through the pattern and in the next three or so flights I will talk less and less. I’m looking for him to put in both aileron , pitch inputs ,and rudder (as needed ) all the way to the landing.
Before signing a student off for solo I’m looking for consistency , micro adjustments and the ability to handle an emergency engine out in the pattern.

Feel free to add your tips for landing to the comments !

[@MrEeeaddict]

Thanks for the videos!

[@farmgene]

NERO AVIATION I like to just fly the plane over the runway and do all I can to keep it from landing. (With the power off.)

[@pilotsam30]

great job! I can"t wait for my first landing!!!

[@IndiWoolley]

Learning a lot from your videos thanks man ⭐️

[@nate641]

pilot final approch: is too high Instructor : power power power nose down aaaaaaaaaaaaa panic

[@mykey39]

Great video! I learned a lot about site picture even though I have been practicing only takeoffs. Just haven't tried landings yet but with this instruction it will definitely help!

[@NEROAviation]

Landings should look almost the same as takeoffs so your half way there. Or I guess your more than half way ! Have fun landing!

[@zacharytaylor190]

just went for my first flight lesson in a powered airplane today! It was amazing, and even though I haven't flown since flying gliders a year and a half ago, it was still very intuitive. I can't wait to learn takeoff and landing either tomorrow or the day after. Keep it up, and clear skies!

[@NEROAviation]

Hope your landings are going well !

[@EthanPriceOutdoors]

Awesome Video! NICE

[@NEROAviation]

Thank you ! The Gopro 7 is making filming in flight easy!

[@NEROAviation]

We can exceed the flap range even with 40 degrees of flaps but it takes a fair amount of effort ( or no effort and a student pilot ).

[@BadgerDMZ]

I wish you instructed in Shelton! Thank you for taking the time to produce the videos they are extremely helpful, Cheers

[@NEROAviation]

Hey thanks !!! Sorry for the slow reply ! Yeah I actually have only been to Shelton twice which is crazy since I fly over it all time going to HQM or down the coast.

[@lmandrums3118]

That’s the amazing thing with a 172. If your too high, just back off the power and add some flaps and you just siinnnkk!!! I flight a piper Cherokee which is also amazing because you can fly as slow as 30 knots in the air in that thing without losing control. (In a stall)

[@NEROAviation]

Yeah I just flew with a CFI student and he was hesitant to push the nose over with full flaps and power out ... he had never tried it. With 40 degrees of flaps and an airspeed of 65 you have to get pretty crazy with the pitch down to gain even 10 knots. I like the Cherokee a lot ... I started in Warriors and had partial ownership of a Cherokee for a while.

[@farmgene]

Nice video. I’m not sure how the horizon reference on the dash works on takeoff with different (mountainous, elevated) terrain. It’s a start, but keep that in mind. I enjoy your videos. Lots of traffic that day! Good student!

[@NEROAviation]

Each person will have a slightly different sight picture but overall it’s just telling the student to look outside to fly and giving them an idea of what to use. Using the horizon makes for a pitch attitude that shouldn’t get you into trouble during take off, and will give a pitch attitude of 6-8 degrees. Also don’t use the top of mountains and such use where the horizon would be ... so bottom of mountains/ hills.

[@TimPoitevin]

Really wish you taught out of BFI. I'm about to start on my PPL and like your style. Great videos!

[@NEROAviation]

Thanks Tim! I actually thought about working at BFI but traffic convinced me to work south ( opposite the flow of daily traffic )

[@mikesisimolu1582]

Have being struggling with my landing. Really the part about referencing the run-way and holding off. I'll try your trick and see if it helps

[@NEROAviation]

Let us know how it works! Try not to land and keep a little power in. Landing pitch looks the same as takeoff pitch. Once you get your landings you’ll wonder what was so hard... “landing is easy”

[@velavanlaack9134]

wish I get an instructor like you

[@NEROAviation]

Vela van Iaack, Shop around your local flight schools and don’t just accept the first instructor your handed. Your going to spend 60hrs flying together it helps if your instructor likes flying and teaching and isn’t just building time to move on to the airlines. Fly more and have fun ! Thanks for watching!

[@AviationFacts10]

@@NEROAviation Got instructor ATP (ADS) school. Flown 55 hours , don't get solo. Instructor say "I want to be commercial pilot and build MY TIME"

[@trunbytrun]

Wanted to give u 10 thumbs up..... unfortunately you-tube allowed me just one... plz put some ultralight training stuff too. if possible EXCELLENT VIDEO

[@NEROAviation]

Thanks !!! I would love to put some ultralight flights together. I’ll see if I can’t barrow a plane or something although I might need to go on a diet first though... lol.

[@trunbytrun]

@@NEROAviation lolzz

[@lloydbaker2195]

student + instructor both needs use the landing checklist...student all over the place with carb heat, rpm/ air speed, flaps, not using trim makes student work extra...ever lap around the pattern...instructor giving different instructions...need to use a landing check list

[@BlackberryTheMCPro]

What ratings do you hold

[@SadethCheng]

I still suck with the round-out and flare. I tend to flare to high because I always get the feeling like I'm plunging too close into the runway.

[@NEROAviation]

The idea is to have your nose up but still let the plane sink towards the ground. You might be looking to close also try looking at the other end of the runway it might help. Try to be light on the controls if your squeezing the yoke your not feeling anything. If your around 15 hours or less don’t worry too much .... if your getting near 30 hours then you might try landing flat a bit and then work up to adding flare back in. Try to feel the airspeed /energy dissipating and slowly build the flare. Landing is as easy or as hard as you make it ! The plane wants to land just let it and help a little when needed. Good luck! You’ll get it !

[@NEROAviation]

You also might see about finding a spot on your local airport to watch other people land it can be illuminating. If it’s and option fly back seat with other student pilots at your school (it’s free experience ).

[@s0ycana11a]

3:44 He was super low indeed!

[@NEROAviation]

I thought we were super high lol.

[@Mimsk]

Why is there so much emphasis on staying close enough to the runway so that you can make it if the engine quits? If the engines are so unreliable why would any one want to fly? I'm not say big patterns are OK, but I think smaller/tighter patterns force your hand for tight base/final turns.

[@NEROAviation]

All about minimizing your risk ... “Takeoffs are optional , landings are mandatory” usually if a student wants to fly wide patterns I kill the engine on the base turn and they see the logic as the realize we are going to crash land vs using the perfectly good runway we are too far away to use.

[@HitsOutdoors]

What State and Town is your airport in?

[@NEROAviation]

Washington state, Puyallup ( just south 30 miles of Seattle). The airport id is KPLU. Thanks for watching !!!!

[@HitsOutdoors]

NERO AVIATION , ill be working a job in Tukwilla next month. Maybe i could do some flying with you?? Im currently 12 hours into my training.

[@davidstanmore9621]

Instructor has a lot to say.

[@NEROAviation]

The students only hear about a tenth of what I say lol. I have been told to zip it a time or two.

[@tm-uz7md]

Student driving course, on steroids.

[@NEROAviation]

Actually I have loads of respect for driving instructors especially the ones that don’t have any controls on their side of the car! Pretty much the only time a student can ruin my day is near the ground the rest of the time the risk is minimal when flying(never underestimate a student potential for crazy 😜 though ).

[@lawtonblandford4100]

Can an instructor talk too much?

[@NEROAviation]

I try, lol. I try to stay on topic though !

[@chefincognito]

@@NEROAviation but you were talking so much at 17:45 that you and your student both neglected to make the call on final as he was task saturated with your inputs

[@gulfstrmcaptbob4124]

This instructor needs to chill
