get rid of the stupid music....you cannot understand anything until that crap stops.

At Northeast Helicopters back in the days, we had an elevated landing pad (30 ft high) to practice precision landings out of ground effect. That was very helpful... Plus we had a fake confined area on the airport area to practice in.

Dr. Salmon had a gift for teaching. I didn't realise until now that he passed away. My sincere condolences for your loss.

We live in a temperate climate and I did 40 deg flap landings and take offs, however just because you can does not mean you should, it is a great facility to have for landing if you need it. Just be aware you need to be on the ball if you overshoot,( it does want to pitch up when you open the throttle) and not at all if you are in a Hot & High environment.

Back when I was a young and dumb pilot in '66, I slipped a 150 with the flaps extended, and found out how short a distance you can land a 150. I never tried that again.

It is the saddest news Ive heard in a long time... I was thinking to go and get all my Faa ratings with him since I just moved to St. Louis and this is the place I wanted to get all my conversions done.

Thank you so much for this kind of information. Please, send me your email to get some information about your flight school.

Sincerely sorry, your dad taught us all a lot, great person.

It always looks good up untill about 3 seconds before impact….

Nice machine and great journey home. What brand of headsets do you have fitted to helmets? Are you happy with noise reduction especially in rear seat?

Says the guy practically standing on the runway. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Great video..thank you

This absolutely breaks my heart! 😢 we have lost an amazing aviator. So sorry for your loss

this component go into witch maintance check?

How in the hell does he get himself and his two giant balls in that little thing.

Did we ever do that are R-22 value ???

I view 40 degrees as a great blessing I love it. I read that the reason they changed Cessnas to 30 was because people would flare to soon (steeper approach) and stall to high over the runway.

I learned to fly in a 150 based on a grass runway I almost always landed with 40 degree flaps

Man he was awesome he was the first flight time I have ever gotten

About the last question, if my friend pays the flight renting fuel etc not directly to me (private pilot), would that consider compensation ? I know it has to be pro rate share but does that mean I have to pay for the flight as well ?

These are hillarious….. thank you so much for your effort

Bullshit advice and perspective on the 150.

Nice banner in the way

On the subject of carb ice... When you have no ice and you close the throttle, the throttle plate is rigged to still be open enough so that the engine will idle. So, you close the throttle and the throttle plate is blocking most of the air, but still lets enough past to keep the engine idling. When you're flying in icing conditions and ice is forming, the throttle plate is open enough, so air can still get past the ice. As someone else pointed out, the governor will mask the presence of the ice by opening the throttle more to compensate for the ice restricting airflow. Manifold pressure will read normally, there really isn't any way to know the ice is present unless you build up enough ice to require the throttle to be wide open. At that point you may see a loss of RPM. So, if you've built up some ice and then close the throttle, there may not be enough clearance between the throttle plate and the ice, so that not enough air can get by to idle the engine. At that point the engine stalls. In an airplane, the windmilling propeller keeps the engine turning, so when you open the throttle, the engine starts back up, and you may not even realize it had stopped idling. But of course, in the helicopter the freewheeling unit lets the engine stop, and unless you're at several thousand feet, trying to restart it is probably a mistake - your time is better spent getting a good auto set up. The carb ice placard on the R22 is because of one day at my flight school. They had three engine failures due to carb ice, but it wasn't until the chief flight instructor had one that they believed him that the carb air temp gauge was out of the yellow arc. BTW, my instructor was one of the other two who had engine failures. His was on an entry to an auto, so they landed on the runway. One of the other two failures ended up landing off airport. Robinson determined that the carb air temperature probe was not actually at the coldest part of the throat, and thus the "below 18" use full heat" placard was introduced. The probe is in the coldest location in the R44 ( because it was engineered after all that ) thus that gauge is accurate, but it makes sense to still teach the R22 procedure in case pilots are flying both types.

Back in the 90's in Alaska we had the same problem with the points in the Mags of a DC-3, we tried every supplier of those points, but within a few hours the cam followers would wear down and the points wouldn't open anymore, it's not the lubrication, its the material the cam followers are made from

You dont install a bolt meant to hold something stationary thru a slot, anybody that stupid should never been working on a helicopter

Why I only use 15 degrees on LSA type aircraft, it already has a slow enough stall speed so no real need to use more angle

Thanks Dr. Paul; You did a lot for the helicopter world --You will be missed!!

I don't remember whose channel I saw it on, but I loved the concept of "curling your fingernails" over the throttle to prevent turning it the wrong way. With your left hand on the throttle and wrist bent such that your fingers are curved all the way around, fingernails visible, you can only turn the throttle one way; closed.

Rest in peace Paul

I liked 40, but I will say that my instructor was quite clear when it came to full flap go arounds-"Full power, flaps to 20!"

It’s possible but as I went through my son’s belongings I had seen these mounts ! My son did 5 tours in the army And he was on the Osama bin Laden raid! He knew for sure how an iPad was to be mounted! Not sure about the copilot! But that is no mater and two young boys are gone to soon. But I sure wish videos like this would have been released after the final investigation! 😅😅😅 The pilot was Thomas Patrick Hayes MY SON!

Thank you for your comment Joe NTSB said it was a possible cause it is yet to be determined but will know soon this report is almost finish. The pilot Tom Hayes was my son😢

You may want to circle the mag switch so we have some idea what your talking about...

Cheap Cessna flap switches.

I attribute my success in the CFI check-ride to Paul, even though we never met. His instructional videos stand out as some of the best available online. You can recognize his deep understanding of the subject by the simplicity and clarity of his explanations. His absence will be a significant loss to the helicopter community but his legacy stands strong in these videos, he will continue to teach generations of pilots.

The best feature of my cessna 150L is the 40 degree flaps. I just use them once landing is assured.

i dont think hes a good pilot he f up before he got in the air

In this comment section: a perfect example of survivorship bias.

Great video, great reminder, great demonstration. You are missed.

I’m so sorry for your loss. He was a great mentor and friend. I owe him a lot for where I am. I’ll make sure it doesn’t go to waste. Sending prayers.

Ive had the same issue in the 152 but every time it’s happened to me, it was only flaps 10 thank god.

Had an unusual incident back in the late 1960s with a 150. It was the really old version with a mechanical flap handle between the seats. I was trying short takeoffs and landings. I wanted to land and stop in the same length of runway that it took for the takeoff. It just wasn't happening and in my frustration, I took off twice with 40 degrees of flaps hanging down. In my state of frustration, I went from 40 degrees flaps to zero in about 2 seconds. Didn't tear anything up but both times, I ricocheted off the runway after making an unintended touch and go.

Really really sorry for your loss. He was really an inspiration and always shared lots of great advice.

My sincerest condolences .. I really enjoyed your dad’s videos and watched all of them over the years .. Heaven gained a great pilot, teacher and healer

Mark & I will be there

Just get to it pal, what’s the problem? I avoid dragging any aircraft to the runway. If the fan stops turning, you got problems. Better to make it a little steeper and let your energy carry you to the touchdown point.

Wow, a doctor, pilot, and beautiful soul. Rest Easy Paul ❤
