WOW!!! Reminded me of SteveO Kinevos Stong x-wind landing as well. Good stuff and that landing was on point. Thank you for the video. Still learning...
Well done. I just purchased a '73 PA23-250 turbo from an old acquaintance and am starting training in a few days. Would you mind sharing a few numbers for manifold pressure/props/flaps for various phases of flight? I especially need some starting numbers for the pattern. I can't find anything anywhere for this a/c. Thanks in advance.
What's the shutdown procedure like for the PA27? I saw some interesting things I haven't seen before in a complex or multi. Shutting down 1 engine at a time? Pushing down on the gear lever? Pulling on something on the left-hand side? EDIT: Oh, you weren't pulling on anything. Looks like a mag grounding check on the left engine is what I was seeing. But still not sure what pushing the gear handle down is about? That gear handle is interesting how it works like a slot machine handle.
The Aztec has a hydraulically operated gear and flap system. As per operation and recommendation of the POH. After shutting one engine down (usually the first one you start up), you lower the gear to the down position to check for the proper system operation and that the squawk switch is doing its job. Most newer Aztecs (Later F models) from what I know, where built with two pumps. One on each engine. With the case for the Aztec in this video (Turbo F model), it only has one pump which is located on the left engine
How are you verifying the system is operating properly and that the squat switch is doing its job? You hope the gear doesn't collapse doing this test??? Or is there an audible sound of the pump you are listening for when doing this test? Or some visual indication?
The gear handle returns to the neutral position. When moving the handle to the down position, the gear won't "magically" return to the wheel wells. The system was designed to have redundancy so performing this test is necessary to check that the pumps and power pack are doing their jobs as designed. If there is an issue, You'll noticed/hear and issue at which you report to the proper person to investigate upon complete shutdown
@@EhviatorProductions I found the correct answer. Only ATC designates between a PA-23 and a PA-27. However, Piper did not build a PA-27 and you will find no such designation in the TCDS.
He's correct. I'm a 10,000+ hour instructor, too much control input. I think you should just maintain a pressure on the pitch and bank and hold the plane as steady as you can.

Jaaaaayzusss dude. I got a cold sweat just watching that landing. Nice work.
Yep, that was a crazy one. Good job.
Nice work over final in such a windy approach
I'm curious why you landed with the mixtures pulled back. Wouldn't you want them @ full rich if you had to go around?
On this aircraft, that was full forward. its the angle
@@EhviatorProductions Ah, okay.
Awesome 👍

I see, so, it's mostly an audible cue you are observing to know if the system is working properly or malfunctioning? Thanks for the replies, btw
AZTEC is A PA 23 250 not a pa27 last I heard.
What is a PA-27?
PA23 - Apache
PA27 - Aztec
If you file as a PA23, its technically incorrect as the PA27 (PA23-250) is a quicker aircraft than an Apache

@@Capt_Ron Precisely
Why are the magnetos switched on and off momentarily before final shutdown?
@@CarlosRodriguez-hw3nt I have the same question!
pilot induced oscillations. Working way too hard.
Sure. Whatever makes you sleep at night
Less control, more control
