What improved my landings in a Cessna172 was to just think of back pressure on the yoke as opposed to moving it.
Bonus content! (1) Perfect Pattern; (2) Airspeed is King; and (3) Transition [drop the word: flare].
Hi Jason, Love all your videos, Suggestion would be to do landing tips at non towered field and it would be much easier to hear due to radio traffic!! Also would love to see you in your cub talking about landing a tail wheel aircraft. Thanks for all you do!!
I like the “instrument cam”
Site picture over the cowl is a big deal for me on landing. I may look like a chump, but I use a 2” thick ballpark cushion when flying the newer 182s. Instantly fixed my problem of not seeing down the runway. Some say use the Lindbergh Reference using lower left part of the windscreen,but I find that disconcerting when judging drift or runway alignment. Cushion is cheap and it works.
Try this. Do you know what the Lindbergh reference is? It is the space on the left side of your windshield down in the corner of the top left of your instrument panel is. If you shift your eyes to that little corner, you can see the runway height, you can see if you were drifting, left or right from the distance of your plane towards the grass, and it also helps in judging your height above the pavement. you are flying around at altitude go and look in that area and see how it relates to your altitude above the ground and whether you’re moving left or right of object directly at the edge of the glass. That way you can practice skewing left or right like a crosswind landing.
This is one area of my flying that I need improvement. Can't seem to get the plane to come down. My original instructor taught me to fly the downwind, base and final at 70 and drop over the property. My most recent CFI taught me 90-80-70. I like the 90-80-70. PS. I too am 6'4" tall. Seeing over the cowl is not an issue. My wife is 5'0". Vision presents a challenge for her.
Best recommendation is learn how to profile fly. If you watch how an airliner comes in, you don’t see him come down and do a round out. They come in at a distinct attitude and they touch the runway, and it works just as well in small planes. Try this, set yourself downwind at 80 kn and one notch of flaps at midfield. This is maintain 80 kn level one notch of flaps. When you are abeam, the numbers reduce power about 400 RPM and your VSI reads 400 fpm. Adjust power to maintain 80 kts and 400 fpm decent. Before turning base, drop second flaps and the plane will slow so readjust 400 fpm. When you’re on base you’ll see you in perfect position according to the VASI. Before turning final, drop last flaps and readjust pitch for 400 fpm. Adjust power to slow to 60 kts and maintain this configuration. As you cross the threshold reduce a small amount of power to maintain at the bottom of green arc. Now looking down the runway, you appear to be going “down the hill” and you natural sight of where the bottom is you’ll naturally start pulling back. As you do this bleed of the power and don’t chop it. As soon as you hit idle the wheels should kiss the pavement and there will be be no floating. Always keep your nose on centerline. Practice this at altitude and use an altitude as you runway elevation. Recover at the sound of the stall warning. The key is a stabilized approach. You’ll find this out very soon once you obtain an instrument rating.
My instructor used to yell at me for that, he insisted on hearing the stall horn pre-touchdown. I always told him NO! My landings were butter. I also used to add a tad of power during what I still call flare but that was in a Cherokee 180. He would punish me by forcing me to fly a Cessna 150, He knew I hated landing that plane. Too damn floaty lol
Completely agree with all of this. Great video.
I am going to try your landing approach. 20 year tailwheel pilot transitioning to a T206. Used to wheel landings in my Husky and F1. Taking me a while to get smooth in a nosewheel.
Jason I fly a 75 172M and I would love your advice. I find it makes it easier on me if at midfield downwind I add my first 10 degrees of flaps and trim for 85-90 in level flight. Then when I am abeam the numbers I put carb heat on and reduce power to start descending. On base turn I add 20 flaps and that slows me to 75 pretty steadily without much power change. On final turn I add the last flaps to 30 and it slows me to 65-70 without power changes. Fly it to the numbers at 65 and once over the threshold remove power for landing. So that gives me easier work flow in a critical phase of flight to add my first flaps and slow a bit more on the last half of the downwind leg. Thoughts? Am I making a mistake adding that first 10 degrees of flaps a bit early? I just feel like it gives me more time to fly a stable approach that I am paying attention to fewer items once I start descending from pattern altitude.
Thanks!
I'm 5'-6", not 6'-4". Fortunately, the C-172 I like at my flight school allows me to adjust the height of the seat, which I do, as high as it will go.
Do you ever fly tailwheel, would love to see some videos on landing tips for tailwheel. I enjoy your videos and find them very informative
Great video. Thanks
Brilliant! thank you
Great vid …cheers mate
Love your videos❤
currently learning 172 from majority of learn time in 152 its a bit of a challenge but im here for it 😊
a great video but back ground radio chatter is drowning you out
So how would you adjust your pattern procedure for a 650’ pattern? Would you keep RPM higher to reduce decent rate? Or would you maintain your pattern altitude until you turn base?
My airport is class-D with one runway at 650’ and other runway is 850’.
You are flying a 172 L same as I have are the airspeeds you calling in kts or mph? Also it was hard hearing what you were saying with ATC so loud in the background. I appreciate the video, we are on the same page when it comes to your 3 tips, I been doing that same thing for years. My airspeeds is in MPH. 90 on downwind, 80 on base, 70 on final.
I would love to see this in a low wing from you.
What do eat to be 6 feet 4 🤣👍👍OUTSTANDING Video Sir CHeers 🍻🍻
I have NEVER liked the term "Flare". I don't know why we can just say, level out just above the runway.... Then, just hold that nose wheel off the runway, and let the airplane come down on it's own. Just a little power is a good thing.
Tower drowned out your best parts….that is: all of it.
The secret to perfect landings is let your instructor do it. Just like the placard I saw in an airplane once on the co-pilot side that said copilot checklist and there were three items. Sit down, shut up and don’t touch anything. Lol!
31 for 31
"promosm" 😔
I think you probably should have found a less busy airport or done a voiceover. The chatter is just distracting big time.
