I am super impressed that without a second thought, you went around, a huge learning for everyone!
Really enjoyed your video!
My favorite time flying was evening, right up till sunset. I flew my 1972 Cherokee 140 out of a grass strip private airport 5 minutes from my house for 15 years. Great memories!
Great memories, thanks for sharing!
Great video, I like that you went around without hesitation and didn't edit that out. It's a great example to students and low time pilots to let them know that there's no shame in going around.
Thanks! Yes, if I don't have everything nailed for the approach to this strip, I go around.
These are so fun. Julie is a natural narrator and that probably makes her a gifted CFI.
Glad you are enjoying them!
@@alyssacobb3432 Alyssa! I’m so sorry! I called you Julie! Who’s Julie?🤦♂️
Your dad was right; that _was_ a 'super' landing! Your informative commentary during your flight had me wishing that you were my CFI during my flight training back in the 90s. Great job, great video! 😃
I'm glad you enjoyed it! We'll be releasing Part 3 next week. Blue skies and Happy 4th of July!
This is one of the nicest flying videos I've seen in a really long time. Thanks for all the time and effort that clearly went into the production and editing, and keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful scenery to fly in. Looks so peaceful 🙂
Very nice!!
I love the sound of that Continental O-300. Not much power, but so smooth. We have the same engine in our 1965 172.
It is a smooth running engine! It performs well in the winter months, but when we get in the hot, humid summer weather we have to adjust for the decreased performance.
Great engine. Powered the early Maule M-4.
Good job..being a student pilot, I'm flying with a CFI, that is a commercial private jet pilot, and he mentioned, later this summer, we're going to practice on grass.
You'll love it!
Love WV. Great flying!
Great video, the grass strips Ive used are a bit longer...and wider.
Flying with Grandma around Eastern OR in his Aeronca Sedan. My bro and I are now it's care takers.
What an awesome memory, thanks for sharing!
This is absolutely wonderful Alyssa! Simple and wise concepts developed over time. Love that a little bit of competition is what gave you the final push.
Thanks! BTW, I was telling my dad about ArkanSTOL earlier today. Happy 4th of July!
I really enjoyed your excellent demonstration of BC short field flying. I fly a Husky and love the BC.
I am sure you have a lot of great backcountry adventures in the Husky!
Beautiful scenery and great narration! I hope to be doing this on my own grass strip someday soon. My favorite flying memory from childhood? Attending pancake breakfasts and watching all the cool airplanes!
Thanks for sharing your favorite flying memory! Fly-in pancake breakfasts are a great way to experience the different types of aircraft and meet a lot of great people in the pilot community!
G,day Alyssa from Sydney Australia. Thanks for filming the tail wheel grass strip landings. I am a little envious, but nonetheless I shall "soldier on"
Favourite childhood memories....
* Going out in the family boat fishing
* Riding minibike QT50
* My Nana's rice custard
🧸💨
Thanks for watching. Australia has been on my bucket lists of places to visit since I was a child! Love your childhood memories...your note about your Nana's rice custard made me start thinking about my favorite treats from my grandmas 😃
Great video I’ve learned a lot from this series of videos. Thanks
Glad you are enjoying them!
Beautiful. Remember, slips work well with a high approach. Don’t have to abandoned the approach.
You are right! My dad would slip when he had a Champ or Citabria. I'm always at full 40 degrees of flaps though by final approach, and I won't slip the 170 with more than 20 degrees of flaps.
O
@@alyssacobb3432 always worried I might accidentally slip the 170 without thinking, especially when I was going from the Citabria to the 170.
Another great video!
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing !
Nice flying!
I enjoyed flying a 170b out of Edwards in the early seventies. Slips with full flaps or 30° flaps lead to terrible results in a 170b. Strong Nose Down excursions when the tail comes out from under the downwash of the flaps. Ask me how I know. Out there I heard of a man with an Air coupe and a 400 ft Square backyard with clear approaches. The story was he used a s a i l plane escapement on his main gear attached to an automobile axle in the center. He would roll around with that to gain takeoff speed then later land on the diagonal to get about 500 and what 50 ft to land. Maybe it's just a story but it's a good one. RSD
I have heard bad things about slipping a 170B with more than 20 degrees of flaps, so I limit myself to only slipping with a max of 20 degrees.
Wonderful video!
What a beautiful neighborhood to fly. 👍
Really enjoying this series. I want to take lessons from you on back country flying . I haven’t flown a B model . Just curious how much different it flys compared to my A model .
I've flown a Cessna 170A with split flaps once. The biggest difference that I noticed is that the flaps don't do much for you, compared to the Cessna 170B with 40 degrees of flaps. With the B model, when you put in all 40 degrees of flaps, you can make a really steep, slow approach. I'd probably need to slip a 170A to get into some of these fields that I go into with the B model with 40 degrees of flaps. But, that's just my observation after flying the A model once. I'd probably need to fly it more to get a better feel for how it operates coming in to land on steep approaches.
beautiful
素晴らしいフライトを有り難うございました🛩🎉
That was great! Are you calling airspeed numbers in knots or mph?
I'm reading it out in mph.
Very nice video. Do more like this. Maybe a little more commentary next time on how you do it. Altitude via power, asi via attitude? Wheels v 3 point? (Got a job once cause the boss fired my predecessor for 3 pointing a 180 on a tight strip.) Brake use. This is a pretty bouquet to stock old Cessnas. They were/are very capable machines. Thanks.
Thank you, I'll keep that in mind for future videos! This strip does take a lot more of my concentration, so I didn't talk as much during the highest workload parts. One thing I wish I would have mentioned was that I was holding my ailerons full deflected to the left because the runway slops slightly sideways toward the pond at one point. You can see it in the video, but I wasn't able to mention it.
We all love our father's praise
That’s a nice aircraft! Thanks for the ride. When you are a little high, but otherwise stable, have you or do you consider slipping in to a landing there?
Hi, I am always at full 40 degrees of flaps by final approach and I won't slip the 170 with full flaps. It does slip well at 20 degrees though. My dad slipped in all the time back when he had a Champ or Citabria with no flaps.
Thanks for the reply and explanation!
👍👍👍👍👍
