How I Land a Plane - The LewDix Method | PA28 Piper Warrior.

Hey, you beautiful lot. Sorry for the delay, I've been very busy.
I finally take 042 up into the pattern to log the final 0.7hrs needed for my qualifying solo time. I run you through how I land a plane using the methods LewDix has taught me, although we quickly find out that, due to busy airspace, the method has to be adapted to the ever-changing conditions. You'll see!

That was so cool to watch. Paying for my block booking for the ppl tomorrow with Ravi air, liverpool.

[@rashadwebb9438]

It always makes me happy to see you still flying after all you’ve been through Long time supporter so thanks for keeping motivated Aswell

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Ah, I appreciate that. Thanks! 😁

[@stephanfiebich1561]

Very good practice for you but there must be a big thank you to that controller, he worked very hard!

[@chrisreagan8651]

Great job maintaining calm in all the craziness and you made some very smooth landings esp with that wind. PPL, here we come!

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

😁

[@gevmage]

"Reluctantly." Ha ha ha! Nice video. Great example of a controller doing fantastic management, and you really helped him out by being sensible and ahead of things. Good luck on the check ride. Can't wait for the after-video!

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

The controller at KORL are great. Really professional.

[@flyingaxeman7343]

Look like an official cherokee landing to me. Love flying cherokees , the wing dihedral makes them great training aircraft. When its gusty like that the old guy at our flight club pireps it as "Bumpy as a cob of corn" lol. Great vid.

[@TENpilot]

I love PA28's !!!

[@Ac32572]

Nice video and good job. I learned to fly in a Cherokee 140 and always love to see the old VW Bug door handles! Keep flying!!

[@azcharlie2009]

You seem to be a very seasoned pilot for such a short timer... Take offs and landings just like I'd do it.... Well done.

[@pauljohn8983]

Well handled, with a cross wind and busy pattern. The short approach was great - I imagine Mr. Dixon was beaming with pride 😊

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

One would hope so. He hasn’t commented on the fact that it wasn’t on centerline, yet 😂

[@LewDixAviation]

I was listening on my handheld when Tower asked him “can you accept a short approach?”.. I immediately said out loud, “course he can”.. Nobody was around. I just know Gaz is a great pilot 🤷🏼‍♂️🥰

[@lechstryzewski9350]

Great job, great comms, great video. Looked to me like all the landings were greasers. Crosswind correction - CHECK !!

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Haha, thanks! 😁

[@JodelFlyer]

Well done on a brill job. Busy circuit and a crosswind to contend with but you flew it in your normal cool calm way and it made for a great video. Nice that LewDix made a cameo appearance and I smiled at both of your replies to Jed’s comments! 😎👌🇬🇧Tim

Me too! 😂

[@rasim81]

Nice video! I wish you include before landing checklist for student pilots.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Not a bad suggestion. I'll try and include it next time I shoot a video like this.

[@ktdough8285]

The one piece of gear you didn't mention (I think) is how you mounted your iPad to the yoke. Would you care to share that info?

[@wavetracker68]

That guy at ATC is a rock star.

[@Paul-dv4dr]

That approach was hardcore!!

Lovely technique G! Maybe that’s a new t-shirt design....The Dixon Technique! 😜

[@laprepper]

I've been struggling with the radio as I start my career and piloting and listening to this ATC is really helpful, cool video! Kind of did one of those one-wheel first landings today, very slight crossing on the field and I was using just a little aileron into the wind

I guess the turn coordinator took the day off? 😀 (Yes, I know, it's not required for VFR flight, but still...)

[@artyklein1798]

Just curious you were calling out your speeds which didnt match your airspeed indicator am I missing something? Nice landings!

[@Acc0rd79]

I expected the Tower to compliment your landings as well!

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Good point. I'll give them a call 😂

[@jonb6226]

@@ZeroThreeDelta I think the correct procedure for getting a deserved compliment from the tower is a sort of expectant cough on the radio

[@acaciaTF]

Very nice indeed Sir. You list the kit you use but not the mount that you attach the ipad to the yoke. What do you use please?

[@philliesphan922]

i would like to know too!

[@phillangham7756]

Amazing video today and cant wait to see the video with you with your PPL I just wanted to ask a quick question as well, does your airspeed indicator have both MPH and Kts or is it just Kts because I'm learning in an Archer and I just wanted to see if it had the same airspeed indicator in the warrior as well.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Yes, it has MPH on the outside and KTS on the inside. These are fairly typical in aircraft produced in the 1970’s and less common from the 80’s onwards.

[@phillipruda2445]

You had me at "Papaaaaaaaaaa......."! Great skills sir! Is there a calculation for the amount of drag Lew adds when in the right seat? Asking for a friend.

[@keithhoward9238]

Great job 👏

[@barnabyg6808]

When you were calling 70 knots was the indicator not reading 80? You seemed to be about 10kn faster than you called out most of the time according to the airspeed indicator

[@alexandrelobato3705]

He’s reading the inner scale of the gauge, in knots. The one you’re reading is in mph

[@barnabyg6808]

Alexandre Lobato you’re right I think silly me I’ve never come across that before...

[@laprepper]

11:42 did atc say "dude, let's make that a full stop taxi back?" 😁

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

I think he was going to say one thing and then changed it. Sounded to me like “Do …. Make this a full stop taxi back.”

[@justinlero3008]

We fly ‘32043’ here in Kansas City! Lol

[@GGAviation]

Very nicely done - FAA should save some time and just post your Cert to you now :)

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

GG Aviation Yes! I’ve been saying this for months 😂

[@nate7803]

Out of curiosity I looked up N32042 and unfortunately found a crash report. Looks like a taxi accident totaled the plane. That sucks.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Yeah it’s sad. The plane still exists but it’s in a hangar with the wings off.

[@jedwig61]

Good job. Just think, soon you’ll be unshackled from the hold Mr LewDix has over you and you’ll be free as a bird...

[@LewDixAviation]

I hold his endorsements. I might never let go of him 😏

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

You never feel shackled when you fly with Dixon 😁

[@ammarmalhas-gmail8226]

All this nice flying and you had not been PPL certified yet? Wow! How many solo hours had you at the time you made this nice video?

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Ha, thanks. I’m not entirely sure. I’d have to work it out. My hours are a little ‘askew’ as I had logged a 9hr return trip from Kissimmee to New a Orleans and 4.5hrs bringing the Archer to Florida in 2017, both of which I didn’t need to log but did anyway as Lewis was with me.

[@rickairs551]

What is the wire hanging our of you gopro on your left ? And right? I see there are different...

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

The one on the window closest to me is the audio cable that allows me to capture cockpit audio straight into the camera. The one on the right is USB-C connected to a power bank for external power. I was having issues with the battery on that one for some reason so I had to plug it in.

[@eaglerandall11]

love your videos. still looking for the shirt i ordered from you on Aug 4

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

eaglerandall11 Huh. Do you want to email me at [e-mail]? I can look into it for you.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

I had a quick look. It looks like it's an issue with PayPal. The message I've received is: "PayPal Express Checkout is still processing this order's payment. To make sure you get paid, wait for the payment to be successful before fulfilling this order." The fulfillment is automatic, so once the payment issue has been sorted out, it'll ship automatically. Hope that helps!

[@patm95]

What’s a short approach?

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

"Short Approach" basically means make your way to the numbers as expeditiously as possible rather than flying a standard pattern and approach for landing.

[@patm95]

[@av8or971]

I bought a hero 7 black, I have the audio to headset to hero 7 cord and I have a new set of Sierra headset. I want to record my final cross country flight which will complete all my basic requirements. I tried to record a little in my home, but I am not sure I havr the settings in my hero 7 set correctly. Can you private message me with some settings guidance? I don't want to have a wasted opportunity on my flight and want to make sure its all setup so I don't need to muck with it in flight. Cheers.

[@av8or971]

i noticed that your ipad is in the mount with the home button up top. I am just curious if there is a specific reason for that? I am looking to get an ipad to have foreflight, as i am getting close to getting my PPL. Just looking for what everyone else is doing.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

If I have it mounted the other way, it starts to cover up dials. Some people buy the longer arm and mount it underneath the yoke. It’s a personal preference.

[@IABoomerTube]

It looks like there's a bracket at the bottom of the yoke mount in the center. If he mounted the iPad home button down, he couldn't plug in a charge cable in flight if needed. That's my guess.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

I believe I may covered it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ28mK2GhM91nbc

[@av8or971]

@@ZeroThreeDelta oh, awesome, i will watch that video. the planes i fly do not have any mounts, so i would need to get a mount and the ipad. with so many options out there, i have been hesitant on pulling the trigger getting something.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

It's definitely worth it. It takes your situational awareness to a whole other level.

[@dominoaviation]

Hi buddy, Just wondering if you could let me know what settings you're using on your overhead GoPro? I tried to record a flight today but outside looked way too bright.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Hey! I'm not using any real custom settings in protune or anything like that. I'm shooting 4K at 24fps. We have noticed that the distance from the overhead mount location in relation to the windshield makes a difference. For example, the mount in the Cessna 172 is further back and therefore the camera has difficulty finding an even exposure, rather trying to expose more for the panel than the exterior. You can try changing the settings but I can't guarantee that'll make the difference you're looking for. Maybe mount it closer to the windscreen? If that doesn't help, an ND filter or prop filter may work. Good luck!

[@dominoaviation]

@@ZeroThreeDelta Thanks for the advice. I was trying to record in 1080 @ 60fps. I'll give 4K @ 24fps a try. Thanks again

[@liquidintegrity]

Landing at 75?! How are you so calm ?

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Rahmanooooo]

I've never been taught to land with notches of flaps , I've landed with no flaps , 1 notch and 2 notches. Does landing with 3 notches differ allot ?

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Not a lot. For those who prefer a 3 degree glide path with a bit of power constantly applied, it works well but certainly isn’t necessary.

[@harrothepilot]

Using full flap in a taper wing warrior adds a little bit of drag, so it allows you to steepen your approach a bit more. You will notice the difference if you fly something like a C172/C182, where the flaps are like barn doors, and lot more effective.

[@Peakbase]

Hey what set up are you using for your IPad yoke Mount?

Yes and it’s now been fixed. It’s not part of 91.205 hence why I proceeded with the flight.
