FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

That was a pretty groovy video to watch. I love the ability of planes like that which,allow you to get in and out of tight places. A friend of mine went up to Alaska for about six months of bush flying. That was 40 years ago when they were building the pipeline. Last I heard, about 5 years ago, was that he is still thinking about coming back home. Someday.

Hey! The first time I was up in a plane was near Hood River (closer to White Salmon really). It was a modified kit built Super Cub that my grandpa's friend had built. He took off downhill and landed uphill on a short strip and it was a crazy experience. Nowadays I live in North Idaho (plenty of small strips around here) and the company I work at makes some parts for the Quest Kodiak. Great video, and really interesting stuff to see.

Neat! I now realize that this is the kind of thing I've been trying to do in our motor glider, i.e. the no-flare landing. Which probably isn't achievable in that sort of aircraft, which is normally deadsticked in anyway. I'll have to find me a cub to practice in instead :).

@williamlong8859 4 жыл бұрын

16:43 minute mark discussion on air speed for actual approach, then on approach you change it down to the 1300 rpm, the instructor allows it, you learn and come back around and do what you actually discussed @ 16:43 mark. Damn good instructor working with a damn good pilot.

Wonderful Video! While in Alaska I landed on a bunch of grass fields. I did not get to Fly or train in a STOL type aircraft. I had a ball because I flew in and out of Merrill field which I believe is the largest GA Airport in the world and Trained in Mountain Flying. The Air seemed pure and the scenery was so beautiful - I enjoyed every moment! The people I met were wonderful and very accommodating! I’m from Oklahoma and I was told I spoke with a New York Accent! 😎. Excellent Video keep up the great work!!

That plane was bare bones compared to these CCs. But the design is classic and my #1 GA favorite. A real airplane that gives me a real sense of what flying is all about.
