I really appreciate that you discuss all your safety considerations on video and don't just "send it!". - Establishing a way out. - Low approaches to inspect the landing area and its surroundings. - Make sure you're not buzzing people. - Having a plan. You're doing youtube piloting responsibly and the community appreciates it!

Agreed! In many cases it might be safe to land, but you do not have an option for a go-around or density altitude makes takeoff an issue. Cool that your Rotax is turbo-charged.

The Sign: "Mars With Flowers" Above timberline, the Sweetwater Range Provides habitat for many rare plants. The rocky apline areas, also known as "fellfields", may appear barren, but alpineplant populations have established here. This is a place of extremes, including both the weather and growth site. The Sweetwater Range is unique in Western North America with regard to the geologic processes that shaped it. Damage to the alpine area from vehicles can take years, even a lifetime to restore. Please enjoy the rugged grandeur of this area and the timeless beauty of the apline flora. And please, preserve these resources by traveling on designated routes. Cross country travel is prohibited.

I screwed up with my super cub landing in a open range area in British Columbia once . I did not see a length of barbed wire attached to a ancient fence post laying in the scrub and it hooked my right had landing gear as I was rolling to a stop and caused me to ground loop at a low speed . Damage was minor but it sure took the starch out of my underwear . It made me less cocky and caused me to do numerous low and overs of potential landing sites . Not sure I would have ever seen the wire from the air in the incident I mentioned but the experience was sobering and I learned a valuable lesson from it.

There used to be a paved runway just west of Bishop called Coyote Flats. It was 3,000' long and at an elevation of 9989'. It made Leadville look like a piece of cake. It was the highest paved runway in the US. I landed my Cardinal there many times (it has a turbo). As with all great things the USFS ripped it up. I think it could still be landable with a plane with big tires. There are a couple of lakes a short hike away, but we never caught any fish.

It's funny talking to one of my friends at work, he flies into small hard surface strips in New England and was trying to tell me that the west has nothing to compare to these little runways for difficulty. I told him to check O24 at Lee Vining and get back to me. He couldn't believe there was a runway at the bottom of a California mountain that was higher than the highest peak on the east coast. Now here you are landing on rough ground over four thousand feet higher.

I loved "dropping in over the fence"! We used Citabrias as tow ships for sailplanes at Sailplane Enterprises, Hemet/Ryan field in Southern Cal'. There was a barbed wire fence across the final approach. The tactic was to come in high to keep the tow cable off the fence, cross control and slip in the last few feet to land short. Landing short meant the line boy could just grab the tow line and hook up the next tow, putting another sailplane in the air as rapidly as possible.

Trent, you fish small midges in tailwaters, just below a major dam, say like right below Bridgeport reservoir in CA on the East Walker river. Further down, in NV, you need to put on some waders, flip some rocks in the riffles, and see what size, color and profile the nymphs are in the stretch of water you're fishing, and match with flies our of your box, or learn to tie flies to match. Also water temperature is important, too.... trout tend to get off the feed if the water temperature is much below 43 F.... so... water like that, you want to fish mid day to 3 or 4 pm this time of January. Need air temps higher than water temps to warm up the water and increase the fishy's metabolism and want to eat some calories. 45 F or so makes a big difference for those brownies to go on the feed.

@TrentonPalmer
@TrentonPalmer 2 жыл бұрын
It really depends on the landing site, when it’s clear and open with zero signs of obstructions then it may only be one pass like this, but more technical and obstructed sites might require a bunch of inspection passes. I’ve probably done 10 passes at spots and never felt comfortable so I moved on. As far as the pucker factor on this one it wasn’t that bad landing wise. But in the back of my mind was the fact that I was alone, on a 11k ft mountain with forecasted 100+mph gusts in the next day meaning if I did screw up there was a good chance no one was getting to me and an even better chance I wasn’t getting my plane out of there. But when I kept that out of my mind it was a cake walk 🤪

Trent - get yourself some clip-on ferrite cores - pop one on the cable next the charger and you should stop the interference. (Might need a couple of turns of the cable, and/or a second one the other end)

Where is your parachute? I've seen some other guy have a plane similar to yours but it broke mid flight and he had to jump out, luckily he had a parachute. Might be a good idea to wear a chute.

Nice landings, even the 'bad' one! - love winter flying too, calm air & better climb rates! ATC - when I was getting my radio licence the instructor would say it's £1 a word ($1 for you) so stick to the correct minimal wording and correct phraseology. Still trying to get my head around it yet - must practice more!!

Love the channel, Trent. I have a question though. How do you know from the sky that you aren't landing on private property? I'm from Illinois and we don't have much public land around here, but I know you do out west.

Not much private land out here once you get a few miles away from town. Most of Nevada is BLM. You can pretty much do what ever on BLM land.

I have been up to that area on Mt Patterson a few times on the 4x4 road. The sign says no off road cross country travel because there are sensitive alpine plants that live up there. I know landing a plane in certain areas has arguably been a grey area with the USFS in the past and as a pilot and human being, I understand that mistakes can be made. Especially when things happen spontaneously. I've been following your channel for awhile and been a fan of your videos. They show a side of aviation that not many people get to see. I know you didn't go there with the planned intention of landing, I just hope other people don't watch this and think they should try going up there and doing the same.
