How to Properly "Trim" the Cessna 182

  • Fly along on a short, fully narrated trip from taxi, and take-off to landing in my modified Cessna 182. This aircraft has nose-mounted "canards" and a 260HP Fuel Injected engine that dramatically increases the performance!
    I'll talk (and fly you) through the techniques required to properly trim the airplane correctly every time, how to maintain altitude during a turn without using any instruments, and how to know for sure you're using the rudder correctly!

    Thanks for the video. you explain things very well, I always struggled with the pitch, power and its relationship to a consistent approach speed. It took a lot of hours to figure out that was my problem. I was fortunate enough to get a flight instructor who identified my problem and you explained it exactly the way he did and it saved me from giving up.

      Now all we need in flight simulators is that control wheel/stick force. I lost my medical a long time ago, and so am stuck to simulators. For the life of me, I try to remember how I set trim in a real aircraft, and the sim software doesn't behave exactly like I remember real airplanes doing. It's a bit frustrating sometimes.

    When I used to fly my dad’s Cherokee Arrow, I never let the manifold pressure exceed the prop rpm; i.e., I reduced power to 24 inches first and then pulled the prop back to 2400 rpm. I did use the same method for trimming - apply pressure to the yoke to make an airspeed change and then trim the pressure off. If your arm is getting tired, you aren’t trimmed properly. The plane should always be trimmed to maintain a safe airspeed on its own..

    Great video. I just went to get current in a 182 skyline but it’s a 260 horse carb model. Have not flown a 182 in long time. Under 550 hrs. I flew pretty good and made the worst few landings I’ve had since my first 5-8 hrs of flight training 😔. I am now afraid to land. I am in Goodyear AZ. I could use a good lesson or two from this CFI. I love flying but have “lost that lov’n feeling” just from a few not so good landings. Most of these CFI’s are young and not checked in a 182 and waiting on their airline jobs, so there’s no good CFI option. The plane is a rental from a facility that I know the owner of. Well maintained planes too. Please em mail. I want to get that feeling back again and not be afraid to land and maintain control and flying once on the roll out. Thanks.

    after reducing power as you get in close but keeping in a little bit during the roundout and flare, do you pull it all the way out as you're about to settle on the mains? Also, 60kts approach seems really slow compared to the 75 I've been recommended for the 182 we fly. Is this because it's not a retractable RG? I know speeds are different many times for the same airplanes depending on configurations....

    I have a cessna 182L 1968. I"m curious about your use of the prop control. I"m not sure which cfi told me to as soon as I am on the upwind to take her out of the red. I noticed you didn't for quite a while and then when you set to 2400 rpm you left it there. Again I'm curios cause my cfi told me to run square. Can you expand on that to why you didn't and if it's because of your training of this situation, and if you do change the prop control when in crews is running square the right thing to do. I enjoyed your video and enjoyed you explanation of the trim situation I can't wait to go up and try that. Thanks

    Full power on a continued climb out clear of terrain coupled with lower RPM and then leaning? This is why jugs get replaced and engines get topped. When you're not busy yapping too much, read up on proper engine operation. If you were flying my 182 that would be the last time you did.

      The Canards are part of an STC’d modification performed by Peterson Performance in Kansas. The mod is available for 182 P and Q models only.
      The canards dramatically change the low speed performance of these planes and allows them to fly at a much lower angle of attack for a given airspeed, which results in drastically improved short field performance!

      Some like that but I prefer not to have them because it only produces about 4 knots lower stall speed, but at the expense of a lower VNe speed and a little less clearance for fitting in a 40’ wide hangar!

As you remember, prop blades are nothing more than another pair of wings (airfoils) in a vertical plane.

    • @nerdsofflight7294
      @nerdsofflight7294  3 года назад +4

      Thanks Gary, always appreciate input.
      Please do keep in mind however, that there are more than one type of checklists out there...
      “Read-then-do” is the most common for general aviation pilots, and is likely what you are referring to, but when someone has thousands of hours in a specific type, they could very well have committed the checklist to memory and choose to use the “recall-then-do” method.
      Just because you didn’t see me specifically pick up a piece of laminated paper doesn’t mean that I didn’t do my “checklist”!
      Think about it like this...when you first bake a cake, you follow the written recipe line for line, but after a thousand cakes you’d likely have the list of ingredients memorized and the order of operations as well so while you are physically doing all the same things...you aren’t physically reading the cook book while doing them!
      Now when you change the kind of cake you want to bake...you’ll want to revert back to the new recipe to make sure you don’t miss any ingredients or steps...much the same way I would advocate a physical checklist in a new or unfamiliar airplane!
      I realize that you, or your flight instructor may not agree with that, and I’m perfectly ok with that too! There are many good ways to stay safe in the air, and as long as you’re doing THAT, then all is well!
