Congratulations on 1000 subscribers. I haven't flown in quite a few years, currently taking a ground school in preparation to start again, but my instructor used to pull the power any time he thought you weren't ready for it. If we were near an airport we did a dead stick landing. On my final landing during my check ride my examiner told me to maintain pattern altitude until he told me to descend, which he did over the numbers. Got it down in less than 4000 ft.
Thanks Carl, I hope I don't disappoint. I will talk up your project around the field and see if anyone else is interested. Some guys there crazier than me!
I am not a pilot but I love flying on the simulator. Practiced touch and goes in a 172. I tried cutting off the mixture at 800 feet msl 1/4 past downwind turn. I was too far from the airstrip and landed on taxi way. It was a pretty hard landing because I flared too high 😅 I'd love to get my ppl one of these days.
I added full mixture and 1/4 throttle to try to get it to prop start but there wasn't enough wind speed I guess. No pump no turning they key. There was a perpendicular runway I could have landed on but I tried to reach the active runway.
The only place my airspeed indicator reads positively correct is straight ahead on final. Cruise is off a bit. Way off in high pitch attitude like stalls. With slips I start at the airspeed I want and the rest is basically by feel. (Even though the ASI says what I want it to. You can see it vacillating in the video.) Good question, thanks. One of these days I am going to have to drill that pitot off the front of the wing and redesign it.
@@TangoSierra2022 Yes. Without flaps, I get plenty of practice using forward slips. I do regularly practice pulling the power to idle in the pattern and landing. Something I should practice more often is pulling the power a few thousand feet up in the general vicinity of an airport and setting up so I am on downwind at pattern altitude.
@@reidbaldwin4555 My wise old instructor (this was just after Wilbur and Orville) used to set me up so I was way too high to make the landing. The trick was to spiral down over the approach end of the runway and make a landing with prop wind-milling. How many turns it takes depends on how much altitude you lose in a 360, how fast you are going, and how steep the bank is. Geez, something else to practice!

He was probably checking to see if you would try to pull it off or just go around.
Nicely done Uncle T!
Thanks Bub.
Well of course I subscribed . Can't wait for the stories to come .

Great video👏👏
Glad you enjoyed

Just do it.
Hi captain my is the same I usually add a little power on flare. Regards Frank
Doesn't seem to be as bad as it was since I added the Catto. Which prop are you running?
My elite doses the same thing a little powder helps a lot
Power and airspeed are the keys. Unless you have no power, then you better have that approach stabilized at the proper speed!
What plane are you flying?
That is a Murphy Rebel Kit plane. Experimental.
Does your airspeed indicator read correctly in a slip?
The only place my airspeed indicator reads positively correct is straight ahead on final. Cruise is off a bit. Way off in high pitch attitude like stalls. With slips I start at the airspeed I want and the rest is basically by feel. (Even though the ASI says what I want it to. You can see it vacillating in the video.) Good question, thanks.

Still flying the Sedan?
