Wish my CFI had this level of experience and interest in teaching. A good pilot isn't automatically a good teacher, especially when their goal is the magic 1500 hours.

@deanmiles3505 Жыл бұрын

I would find a different instructor. If their hearts not in it for what ever reason you are not going to learn what you really need to know. It's supposed to be enjoyable and after all its also your life. Take care, Be safe.

@@deanmiles3505 Thank you. I agree. I'm finishing with this CFI because he is openly working hard to learn how to teach. We talk about it. I've worked out ways to extract from him what I need. He knows it, and _can_ teach it. It's just not natural to him, yet. But I'm just as likely to take my next stage (Instrument training) somewhere else.

I’m coming back to flying after a long lay off… thereby gangs a tale for another time… and I am enjoying your content greatly! I’m also changing types from a Cessna to a Beagle Pup… high wing yoke to low wing stick…I have an excellent instructor with over 400 hours on type but between flying your videos make first rate “kitchen table” aviating! Thank you👍😎

These are the same issues I am having transitioning to a 182. When you do the high speed taxi do you recommend flaps in your typical landing configuration? Or should you keep flaps 10?

@TheFinerPoints Жыл бұрын

No flaps. You need to get the nose high and you don’t want to lift off

@davidrush4908 Жыл бұрын

One of the best things my instructor did was to take me to an actual short and soft field. It was so soft it would have been better described as soggy. You work on the back of the power curve for landings, flare, nose high taxi and takeoffs. Lots of Lindberg reference!

@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq Жыл бұрын

Small planes do not flare, they transition in landing. Large turbine prop twins and jets flare.

@NitronF117 Жыл бұрын

Is what you’re calling a “transition” the addition of back pressure to increase angle of attack in order to slow the rate of descent, bleed off speed, and (in a tricycle gear) protect the nose wheel? Because we have a term for that maneuver… it’s called a flare. Small planes do small flares and big planes do big flares, but it’s still the same maneuver, done for the same reasons.

100 landings? I'm clearly doing something wrong. Thankfully I'm not really ballooning or wheelbarrowing, but flat landings are still an issue around 170 landings on.

@ibnewton8951 Жыл бұрын

Oh, for god sake‘s if you want an absolute greaser, wait until you start the flare and then retract the flaps smoothly immediately. The benefit is that you will smoothly sink and do a perfect landing, and the second benefit is that on a hot day with a low wing laminar flow aircraft, you will make a smooth touchdown being able to apply brakes long before you run out of runway. It doesn’t matter if this is a low wing or high wing aircraft, or if it is light or heavy. When you retract the flaps, if you do it manually, then do it at the same consistent speed as if it were electric. Want to have consistent greaser, smooth landings? Take my advice.

Hopefully it is actually 100 hrs, not 100 landings… because I have well over 200 landings with under 80 hrs, and my landings are still not consistent.

Well, the comment was for an “already trained” Pilot moving to a new airplane. You can expect about 100 landings.

@@TheFinerPoints Ah, gotcha. Well, I am transitioning from a 172 to a Turbo 182, so maybe by the time I have 100 landings in the 182, they’ll feel pretty good.

200… Well I suppose I don’t have to feel so bad about my landings anymore. Just did my first solo, and was getting annoyed with myself for still not gauging the right moment to flare.

@NitronF117 Жыл бұрын

@@kaasmeester5903 Yeah, I wouldn't sweat it... When I did my first solo, I bounced 2 out of the 3 landings, and sent a heavy on a go around at neighboring airport. I've certainly improved over time, but I still don't have the "feel" for it yet...

@alk672 Жыл бұрын

I feel like my landings started to come together well beyond the 1000 mark… They are still not perfect, but I don’t feel like I may go seriously wrong anymore. That’s in the same freaking airplane. And I can probably still can go wrong with just the wrong conditions :) To me it felt like a big part of it was to stop trying to get that soft touchdown and instead just focus on being solid on centerline and reasonably low before I start rounding out.

@alk672 Жыл бұрын

I wish someone did an experiment - just take a primary student who has never landed an airplane yet, and let them figure it out on their own. No theory, no complicated explanation of how to roundout, how to flare, where to look, etc. I bet the average time to learn would be lower, not higher. Some things can only be learnt by feel, trying to use one's brain only slow down the progress.

@HollyCsaszar Жыл бұрын

Depends on the learner really. I’m the opposite, I’ll make the same mistake over and over but if I’m given clear instruction (and especially an explanation why) I’m really good at implementing it. Some of my students learn like this, some learn better the way you mentioned.

@mwip57 Жыл бұрын

Thinking back it took a long time to get the landing advice that"stuck" and made sense, but with no instruction I probably would have crashed the damn plane

@kaasmeester5903 Жыл бұрын

So far I found that it's a bit like golf: you try it, manage to hit the ball, get some distance on it but maybe not 100% straight down the fairway. Then your instructor starts giving you pointers: stand like this, swing back like that, and your results go to crap... until you get it and start improving. A continual 2 steps forward 1 step back process. For me, knowing the why and how really helps... but it takes time before I can actually put it into practice.

@NitronF117 Жыл бұрын

While the time to learn might be faster, you’d probably end up with a bunch of broken nose wheels.

@jpatty5473 Жыл бұрын

this would result in a lot of damage. learning to flare is tough at first
