Student Pilot - Windy Pattern Work - Piper Cherokee 140

Here's a quick POV video of some pattern work/touch and goes on Thanksgiving. Tried to take advantage of a break in the weather to get some more landing practice in before the next cross country... I definitely need it.

Good enough! The phrase every pilot will use at least once during their piloting lifetime...😂

Nice work. Just a little tip..I always do 1700 or 1800 rpm when abeam in a PA28-140. 2nd notch or 3rd on the flaps on final if needed. Always prefer a little too much altitude when turning final and adjust than not enough. Especially when low and slow. If you get carb ice, the engine quits (due to low rpm) and you have to glide it in, you will understand the benefits of this approach.

REALLY like the way you verbalize your thought processes. Very instructional.

Brings back a lot of good memories. I got my license in a 140 back in the late 70's. Surprisingly, I remember all the numbers. Had a great instructor who drilled them into me.

I love watching these pilots with all their fancy electronics. They spend thousands of dollars on avionics to do the same thing that my 5 dollar pilot slide rule cost.

After a 43 year hiatus, I just went on my first flight to the journey of FINALLY get my private pilot certificate. Thx for sharing this video. 🙂👍🏻

Take a drink every time he says alright

That air traffic controller sounds like a ball of fun 😂

[@laprepper]

Greasing it in tends to be desired popularly in aviation but a firm landing does help dissipate forward energy, I swear every Southwest pilot is a master of this 😂🤣

The PA28 is a very predticable aircraft when it comes to landing style.The PA28 if trimmed correctly on approach will fly right into the landing flare stage.The beauty about the PA28 is it has tremendous elevator power which allows full control in pitch in the landing flare. This means the mains go on very strongl;y and stay there. Then all one has to do is lower the nose down onto the nose wheel and then onto the tarmack when you then have front nose wheel steering. The air rudder is the best for landing the PA28, no nose wheel steering si needed.

Nice video. When you said power to 2000 I was getting ready to close my eyes. Then you said full power.

Great job. Very methodical and professional.

[@keldon1995]

I like your videos, especially the way you talk through the procedures in detail, good job

[@laprepper]

Keep these videos coming! I'm learning in a Piper Cherokee. It's a super fun lil plane!

[@dicemanorama]

Excellent video. Great for those of us just getting started.

SUPER CLEAN PANEL. NICE WORK! THANKS FOR SHARING.

I like the head camera perspective. Doing a 3D version would be awesome.

[@jtleejr]

It helps to wiggle rudder back and forth on final to remind yourself to relax and work rudder.

Excellent teaching video. Very informative. Thank you,

[@RandyBroderick]

This is a good video. Fun to watch, thanks!
