Simple Steps to Perfect Your Short Field Takeoff and Landing

[@boogerwood]

Your videos on short field SIGNIFICANTLY helped me pass my checkride last month. Love all your content and would love to fly with you one day! Blessings to you and the fam. (P.S. I'll forgive you for forgetting Bob Ross's name) Side note: My DPE wanted me to "simulate" a 50 ft obstacle on the numbers! So my 4000' runway got SIGNIFICANTLY shorter. Honestly though... that was fun!

[@wild_cumulus_cloud]

How did you pick your touchdown point in that case?

[@justabill5780]

I was practicing shortfield landings at KMTN this week and Tower extended my downwind about 10 miles on one landing. That was interesting.

[@oledanielson4699]

Good tips. Had recent example at UT9 which is 2600 ft but has a dump mound obstacle 210 ft from 24 ft wide runway. Big visual illusion of coming in way way fast!

Young Jason couldn't draw either, don't feel bad slightly older Jason.

[@gevojanyan]

Thank you Mr. Jason. I've passed my checkride. Your audio book helped me a lot!

[@Aerialphotovito]

Great video Jason ! appreciate all you do to keep us safe

[@Gerrypickles1940]

I love Bob Ross Most calm peaceful man ever with amazing paintings

[@Nick-hp9rb]

Thank you! Great lesson

[@chloemichelle8299]

Love all these vids !! Jason, the only way u could delight me more is if you ever did videos in a piper warrior! Us low wing peeps would love that ❤☺️

[@nathan1122]

Great informative video, thank you!

Awesome vide,

[@skyepilotte11]

Great refresher...thx Jason

[@Smartster751]

Brilliant content, thank you

[@brennenfitzgerald]

Bob would be happy. He actually said he envied seniors whose hands shook because they could paint the art he was trying to make…… I only hope I have the perfect shake he was looking for some day.

Jason, excellent refresher. Thank you! 😊

Thank you

[@victoirepraise2660]

This video is very helpful ❤❤❤ thank you sir

[@sirus7292]

Planning to check ride this month. I’m trying to take in as much as I can about short and soft field ops. They give me the hardest time

[@warrensmith2902]

Yeah, the old Rio Vista airport in California was fun.

[@WX4CB]

when i did my sport pilot CR, we got to that point and i told him that my point was the end of the 1st stripe.... I touched down just after the start of the 2nd stripe. i treat all of my landings as short field landings and spot landings that way i keep myself proficient for hitting that spot irrepsective where i put it (and yes i change it each time)

[@dwighttaylor5107]

❤❤❤❤❤ it thanks great video.

Bob Ross!!

[@philbloomfield8212]

Hi Jason I have to say thanks. Because of your content you helped me pass my written. I have a Cherokee 140 and I fly out of CNA4 which has a 2800’ grass runway. The POH is kind of vague on short field takeoff and landings on grass. What I do is when taxing back for takeoff as I am rounding the corner to line up I start to throttle up for the takeoff. I have 2 notches of flaps in and as soon as I am airborne I put them to 10 degrees- stay in ground effect until I can climb at vx. This is what I have taught myself but am interested as to what you would do on a short grass strip.

[@kevstuff100]

For those with personal minimums, sometimes circumstances such as total engine failure force you land in a short space.

[@ChrisMeuzelaar1]

So needed this for my training, thank you!

[@808_murda2]

My checkrides tomorrow and my review solo flight today got cancelled so im binging every video i can. I hope to reply to this tomorrow as a private pilot not a student

[@thomblank2915]

How’d it go

[@markhumphrey8894]

Love your videos!! Would you fail the check ride if you ended up having to alter your approach like you are?. I would think you would not if you talked it through with the tester and they knew you were all about safety first. Thanks Not a pilot but living vicariously through you.

[@Mathew.BM.MJ.]

Left seat right shoulder, right seat chest helps

[@kiksuncut]

We need a soft field landing video

[@NorthwestAeronaut]

Glad you got the runway stripe lengths correct this time 😉 haha. On another note: is 23MZ calibrated in knots or MPH on the airspeed indicator?

[@muhammadsteinberg]

Bob Ross is the artist you're thinking of.

[@maxbootstrap7397]

What is a short field ... in my mind? Nominally ... less than 300 feet. But actually ... anything less than 200 feet. And in truly serious situations ... less than 150 feet. 😲 PS: Definitely looking for a non-trivial headwind or significant uphill grade when under 200 feet.

[@tnyh2l]

Bob Ross is the happy tree guy!!!

[@JoseSilva-vp3wi]

I feel that my short field landings are still sucking :( I’m in check ride prep for my PPL

[@go5582]

Hi handsome, do you have a cross america cannonball flight route? Thanks i like your channe.

[@jimmydulin928]

I realize that preparing students for Airmen Certification Standards on the PPL flight test is different than teaching students, or pilots, to fly based on the principals in Stick and Rudder. As a crop duster and CFII, I was always conflicted by the poor energy management dictated by V-speed standards, ACS. Vy with three or four seconds startle on an engine failure is a horrible place to be at 200' AGL not even halfway down the runway. Too many fatalities on airport property from taking off too slow and landing too fast. The best way to get into the beginning of the runway over obstructions is a steep and slow approach. We no longer teach rudder only, walking the rudders, dynamic proactive rudder movement to nail the centerline between our legs. LOC landing accidents involve too much speed, no directional control which should be rudder achieved rather than aileron, and start of go around with a mile of runway in front. The safe place to go, after bounce or problem, is the runway ahead using power to control descent back onto the runway for a slow and soft arrival. Little airplanes have no Take Off and Go Around button to blast back into space with full load on half normal thrust. Too much ground effect energy is discarded for too little altitude to recover from inadvertent stall.

[@Skyhighalaskanart]

In an unscheduled landing you are going to have to pick a place to land. If you don't have a 3000' runway available at that moment, but you do have wheat field available. Is that field going to be long or short. Do you have the skills to get down in that field? In Alaska, there are many short takeoff and landing competitions. STOL! 😊

[@michelchaman6495]

I think Happy trees is Bob Ross

[@eggztract7713]

YOU FORGOT BOB ROSS’ NAME

[@CaptainGarratt]

I wouldn’t consider 3000 ft short field in a 172… less than 2000 is short field…

[@dylankachmann6211]

Think about student pilots. Most of the students at my school are easily 50 feet above the numbers when they come in. I’ve seen some touch down passed the intersection. Now of course I’m thinking “go around” the entire time. But you have to put yourself in their shoes, inexperienced, 3000 is super short for them. Especially when they aren’t even touching down until the halfway point.

[@CaptainGarratt]

@@dylankachmann6211 in the UK you won’t find many GA runways that long… just have to learn better technique for landing.

[@ssquire]

After practicing at my home field, KUUU, my CFI took me over to 08R. The crosswind was 90 to the left and you can see it funneled up the road just before the strip. Many obstacles on the approach and (not in video) a large hill on the departure end. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4jbcnaKbZmtrKM (someone must have named Bob Ross by now, aka Happy Little Trees Guy).

[@nw6198]

Aw, no he didn't. He didn't even know Bob Ross' name. Totally untrustworthy as an instructor and human being. Lol, jk. This is good stuff.
