Single Pilot Piper Warrior II Cross Country Flying to the Beach!!

[@Patman408]

Nice landing, almost couldn't tell you were on the ground!

@@Patman408 thank you!

Flew a Warrior II in the 90’s building my 50 hour cross-country time toward my instrument rating. Great airplane, newer leather interior, new paint, a dream to fly. Some of my best landings, that low wing in ground effect, we’d glide forever and grease it in.😊

[@crookedhooking9819]

That's one thing I love about the warrior is that the landing is very controlled. The 172 can be a nightmare of you set up your touch down wrong!

[@gordonfeliciano4315]

Nice touchdown on that landing... smooth.

[@crookedhooking9819]

Thank you!

This is the identical plane I’m doing my flight training in even down to the color. Great video so glad I found your channel.

[@crookedhooking9819]

Is it the same tail number? This plane and the other warrior I flew are now based out of Cheswold, DE and they were terrific to fly!!

[@lpaddikt]

I really enjoyed this, about 3 weeks from getting my PPL hopefully. Can't wait to have adventures like this. Thanks!

[@crookedhooking9819]

When you get your license enjoy it and never ever forget your training and constantly advance your skills in any way! The first thing I did was I took my brother flying and it was a thrill. Then yesterday for the 1st time in my 13 years of flying I finally flew myself to an airport diner for breakfast! Enjoy it up there and happy flying!

[@thesecretsaint8178]

Watching this video was pretty cool….. I got to hear a plane that I fly call into the airport I fly out of. That was unexpected but cool. Hope you enjoyed the flight. I love Cape May airport. Gotta watch for parachute jumpers though.

[@crookedhooking9819]

Yea this airport is definitely one of my favorites, same with the Georgetown airport!! Flying a long the beach or just seeing the water from above is always incredible to me!

[@mattschwartzstein3159]

That is one decked out Warrior! Question for you - looked like you were flying vfr in an easterly direction, yet you had your altitude at 2700 ft. Didn't you need to be about 1000' higher between 0-179 degrees?

[@crookedhooking9819]

I honestly don't remember the altitude I was flying in this video, I was fluctuating in some spots because of haze but yea odd going est +500ft and even going west +500

[@EricEsser]

Below 3000 AGL the VFR altitude rules don’t apply.

[@johnm.3279]

@@crookedhooking9819 What's the pattern altitude for Cape May? You entered downwind at 1,400.

[@crookedhooking9819]

@John M. one source says 800 feet another says 1,100. I chose that altitude because of the large pine trees due to a height concern.

[@crookedhooking9819]

@@johnm.3279 there's also a 300+ foot tower at the end of the runway I landed on.
