  • If you want the traffic pattern entry made easy, you've come to the right place. All of these ideas are really bad but they are certainly easy. I am going to show you how to fly the traffic pattern with the least amount of effort and also the least amount of safety. It should go without saying that this video is satire and NONE of this should be considered advise. If you really want to know. Talk to your CFI.

      idk who taught you that but your extremely wrong and that is dangerous. make sure you nosedive into the airport, so you can land faster.

    I just call out 100nm final, met the obligatory position, so I don’t have to worry about another call. Everyone else in the pattern can simply calculate the time it takes for them to be in my way!

  • @earthwindflier
    @earthwindflier 2 года назад +13

    I thought the Cirrus pattern was ALWAYS straight in because if you need to pull CAPS, the headwind you have on final helps to inflate the chute quicker (?). Always thought this was the reason I have never seen a Cirrus on a downwind.

    Hey BrYan there’s more to this.
    You never mentioned the perks or pros when using some of these approaches.
    I tried the -45° one you mentioned at what I think is called the local international airport.
    I had to pull off onto the grass to let the B738 pass though. But I was given my own personal shuttle back to the terminal and the two neatly uniformed gents even said that they’d arrange for parking for my plane.
    I was given a free ride to the B&B and booked into my own suite. (Not too fancy but there was a toilet in my room)
    The meals were free but entertainment poor.
    The robed gent that asked to interview me in his huge office the next day, said something about what I’d done was plain silly. I’m still confused. 😎

    How about the 'Hot Shot 720º? I was at 3,500' off the approach end of a sea level airport. Basically, I was less than a quarter of a mile off of the runway. I'm well above pattern altitude. I'm flying a Cessna 150. I have no other explanation for this, but I believe God reached down and moved my airplane ten feet to the right. I looked to the left, and I was staring into the face of a passenger in a Piper Arrow who was in a left descending turn into the pattern to land. The pilot was doing a charter flight, he had three passengers in this Arrow, and I couldn't see him, since he was descending from above and behind me, and since he was in a left spiraling turn, he didn't see me, either. At the time, I was 18, knew who the pilot was, and thought he could do no wrong. Change that opinion REALLY fast that day, but he was doing a 720º spiral to enter the traffic pattern, and he was well above gear and flap speed.
    God saved my ass big time, that day!

    Reminds me of the time I was landing at a busy non-controlled airport using the 45 degree entry in a piper colt PA 22-108. I called 45 degree entry to left downwind. Just as I reached downwind a voice came on the radio “Arrow NXXX entering left downwind”. I said to myself that is where I am where is he. I scanned around me then stopped to think 45 degrees he should be almost behind me on the left side. I looked way back on left side and all I could see was propeller and cowling about to eat me up. I pulled hard back on the yoke turning right and waited for the crash which fortunately never came. Then a voice came on the radio I hope you realize you almost had a mid air collision up there. I had to look at an extreme angle to see him but I should have been filling his windscreen. Did he not hear my call of entry to 45 degree leg? Did he just tune the frequency as he was about to enter? Who knows. That was that was 45 years ago and it still haunts me to this day.

    I live near a GA airport. I've never seen a plane do any of this stuff, except maybe the helicopters. Are they ignorant? Quick question: how do you attach the protractor to your plane so that it works correctly? The reason I'm not a pilot is because there are too many gauges and junk in the average cockpit, and I could never figure out how to use a protractor on top of all that other crazy stuff.
