Brilliant approach and touch down sir. For a few moments, the plane seemed to be in a nose-down attitude, but you greased that landing all the same like a pro.
Beryl Markham landed in rough clearings in the African bush country in the 1930's working while spotting elephant herds for a guide. She had no radio, radar, or many of the instruments in the plane of this video. And in 1936 she was the first person to fly west with the night across the Atlantic. Lindbergh flew east to take advantage of tailwind. Again, she had no radio or navigation beacons and she manually switched fuel tanks lacking fuel level indicators.
My first experience flying was a Cessna 150/150 with a Robinson STOL kit. That aircraft would go up when you wanted to go up and down when you wanted to go down. Then I climbed in a standard Continental powered one. I thought time stood still as it took so long to leave the runway. The only time anyone will look at a C-150 is if it’s on fire. But I loved the little plane. It forgave you of your mistakes as much as it could. My next plane was a Cessna 140 even more anemic but more fun. Read Noel Wiens book if you can find it. He was the first bush pilot in Alaska. His words will stick with you the rest of your flying days. These fools that slip to a landing do not understand that in order to safely slow the plane down the wings must be level and coordinated. Lose your altitude early. Level the wings, slow it down and bring her home. Good job.
@@ryancrazy1 While I don't pilot planes, were you at full throttle the whole time during climb? Typically pilots bring the throttle down to 60-70% halfway to cruise altitude.
I've found that executing a slip to clear the trees is a much safer approach than dropping the nose. Prevents a buildup of excess airspeed and keeps me from eating up the runway. Awesome landing otherwise.
Idk about the 150, but in the 172 the technique for short field landings in the poh had you drop the nose. I'd be interested to see how each of the techniques affects landing roll compared to just doing a normal stabilized approach at the slowest possible approach speed. My guess is not too much.
As he was high on approach due to terrain and trees, the last 50 or so feet of that descent were really challenging, with an acute pitch down... And he did a great job leveling off for a flare! Kudos!!
My. 152 trainer had a hand held mic and the speaker right above you’re head. You had to YELL AND SCREAM🤣 to be heard and good luck trying to hear tower instructions with that cheesy speaker and the engine blaring. Then I graduated to a 172 trainer with David Clarke headphones. Ahhhhhhhhhh
I Learned in a 1948 Taylorcraft BC12D much better than the Colt or the 150, Just Saying! However a few years later I did go with Cessna and got a 310 F, Now that's a plane.
I dont know about all these comments, but I see no problem with his shortfield apprch and softfield landing . All I see is proper procedure execution - upon clearing the obstacles, throttle back to idle and dive the nose without worrying about the a/s coz of his flaps and he flew the plane and not the other way around and that's the important thing. Very curious to fly a 150 since I'm only rated to 152 and 172.
Pretty short runway if you need to go around and clear the trees at the end, especially considering the climb rate in a C150 is barely over 500fpm on a good day.
Its funny but at the beginning it looked too narrow like a cow path than as you get to tree top level it seems to just open up probably due to the tall trees on both sides.
Very nice ,safe and well executed landing. Looks like he was dragging it in ( nothing wrong with that). On both the 150 or 152 even the 172 for that matter, I prefer to coming a little higher on short final, power back to idle and go full flaps. The nose will naturally drop and just control the airspeed with the elevators.Touch down will then be at a much slower speed. But he did a great job and his technique worked well for him.
Noticed the same and agree. I like to know I can land it if I were to lose the engine. I usually end up too high and slip to lose the altitude because I never have the nerve to glide in so close to the obstructions always before the threshold. Also agree nothing wrong with dragging it in though. Nice controlled approach and landing here. Always loved the 150/2, the only plane I've ever felt as though it were strapped on my back and I really controlled it rather than it controlling me to some extent. But then, I've never been the most self assured pilot.
He did a short and softfield landing procedures. For short landing, he had his flaps on full and when he is cleared of the obstacles(trees), he throttled back to idle and dive is nose down so he can land to the spot where he wants to land without increasing its airspeed and wont spend too much time on the runway floating. For the softfield procedure, he kept is nose wheel up with his control yoke to prevent its nose from digging in the dirt with all that speed upon touchdown.
@@OrlandoObra Thanks for the explanation! I used to fly out of this one airport where there was green field a mile from runway threshold in the middle of this concrete jungle That green field was notorious for sinking planes. Pilots who were familiar with the airport, including myself, always anticipated that sudden sink over the field. It happened about 80% of the time. No one could explain why. I was wondering if this pilot experienced something similar. Dropping at a high descent rate despite keeping the airspeed constant is discouraged where I fly. I have received earfuls from my instructor when I have come in high and descended fast close to threshold.
@@alexburkholder5368 Give me 10° flaps, cowl to the horizion, start lowering nose in ground effect to build up speed after softly lifted off in stall..50kts/Vx to clear obstacles..then Vy..😎👍
@@alexburkholder5368 keep it smooth don't bounce & if theres room perfectly safer, but time builds relaxed control..get comfortable draggin in stabilized @MCA for SHORT landings!👍
wrong way to approach this strip. You need to turn base with the wing tip over the end of the runway, Approach speed 45 knots.10 deg flap. There is no point dragging the aircraft on final along at 50kts.If you loose the engine your dead.
when to turn is debatable, and depends on altitude and such, but I agree, should focus on being able to glide engine out rather than dragging it in. I spent plenty of time flying 150s in the Rockies to strips that were on cliffs. Come up short and you're dead.
To me it looked like a good landing !! No questions there!! ..
Good landing, indeed.
I agree 👍 💯
I did my training in a 150, and they are a blast to fly. That looked like a fun landing. Good job on it!!
Nice stable approach! Good job. Fly safe!
Thanks! I was a student pilot here but have got my licence since then.
You did a great job. Man those trees looked a lot closer as you came in, than they did on initial final approach. Well done.
Brilliant approach and touch down sir. For a few moments, the plane seemed to be in a nose-down attitude, but you greased that landing all the same like a pro.
Nice video. Brought back some fond memories. Thank you!
Should be great to have his own plane. Enjoy it. Great landing! Cheers from Brazil.
Good job! Gotta love the 150

Oh wow! I trained in a 150. Great little plane.
Looks like living the dream to me! 150s and 152s are great for getting in and out of places that are out of the question for most other birds.
those places better be at sea level haha. the 150 i used to fly couldn't climb for its life and that was at a 600' elevation airport
@@ryancrazy1 Ya not best climb rate @ 650 fpm! Pray for cold & dry air!

@@thatguyalex2835 that 150 wouldn’t climb without full power. That’s more common on high performance and complex planes
Love the 150. Nice landing. Crazy runway!
Excellent landing !!!!!
Fun landing dude, keep it up...
Like a boss!:)
Excellent job!
Nice landing. Oh my God, First my solo flight with Cessna 150 in 1980
Where was that?
Nice landing Alex 👍🏻
Thanks
Good landing
I'm retiring from teaching soon and will take up full time writing. Hope to fly my C-150 into the back country. Best of luck to you.
Beautiful landing. Lots of margin in both directions.

My thought's exactly a little slip and your on the ground just beyond the trees

So much good runway left behind....
In the 172M, with Flaps 40, you chop the power and you'll drop like a rock. As a matter of fact, the manual says no slips with full flaps.
@@iliasfaqir same in the 150, loss of elevator authority
Nice landing
Linda aproximación y lindo aterrizaje!
Other than the hand blocking the camera on touch down that was magnificent! Is it full or self service fuel there? :) Well done 👍
We would like more content from you. I speak for the entire RUclips community. 56K views is remarkable!
Well done, nice landing at not the safest airfield! So many trees around there and no enought room nearby in case of an emergency.
Nice landing.
Good approach. That horn should have been yelling before touchdown..lol
Good job mate.
Beautiful landing! Looks like bear country. Also, for sure don't land when it's windy/raining. It's a guaranteed crash.
and if its raining and you cant go anywhere else due to fuel or anything else? a question from a passanger eheh
If you’re that low on fuel, it’s now an emergency landing. Never put yourself in that position where you don’t have enough fuel for anything else.
LOG IT!
Well done.
i fly 172's. the landing configuration is slightly different than a 150. 172's tends to want to keep gliding as with the wider wing span.
proccesing video…

Yea that pitch down at the end was interesting, but when you’re in backcountry, just have to deal with the approach you get.

What Airstrip? Where is this? DA at landing? the 152 have any STCs that are relevant to STOL performance?
Close to Bancroft Ontario. This is a 150. Not sure if they do... this is a long airstrip so I had all kinds of room for take off and landing

I saw the Hawk Eyes in you on this landing
This has got to be MSFS2023 !!
What airport?
Why do you feel the need to push the nose over like that when clearing the trees? That is a long runway with a ton of room?
Pretty short runway if you need to go around and clear the trees at the end, especially considering the climb rate in a C150 is barely over 500fpm on a good day.
3000’ is plenty long. I’ve flown it outta 2000’ strips
LLLLLIKE A GLLLLLLOVE! 👌🏻
Where is this? Idaho?
If there's a 'backcountry', then what is the Frontcountry ???

Close to Bancroft Ontatio, Canada🇨🇦

Its funny but at the beginning it looked too narrow like a cow path than as you get to tree top level it seems to just open up probably due to the tall trees on both sides.
Probable would have pulled the power back sooner and added some flaps but you had all kinds of room too play.....
yes, that runway was plenty long for a 150 to land on.
How did you guage the wind before hand?
I look at the wind sock and see what it’s indicating before I come In for landing

I liked steeper glideslope w/40°flap & low speed problems alleviated by not "driving" the wing like a car..haha, by comparison
Land on a dirt road than you have accomplished something.
LOL, makes no sense.
What are you implying?
