Man. If I can say 1 thing about your instruction technique, the fact that you played ATC in his ear as he was simulated IFR and made sure his read backs and executions were correct was something I had never even thought of. When I was learning I never had a specific instruction of diversion while in the pattern. (Extended down wind, hold instruction, stay clear of etc.) Until I was solo!! I was so confused when I heard "Skyhawk 44 sierra extend down wind and I'll call your base" im pretty sure I just said "ok" in my reply 😂😂 Man you are on it!

Bros just mean mugging the camera

had my first solo but my landings were rough... great vid, just in time for me while I work on em :)

Flaring too high is my #1 bad habit when it comes to landings. You’re exactly right about “high flare, hard flare,” and I didn’t even realize that was the reason why I had to apply so much back pressure to keep the nose at horizon level…but of course now I’m 5-10 feet off the ground, and I come down hard, every time. My problem is that peripheral version and gauging my closure rate and exactly how high I am above the runway. I always feel like I’m way lower than I am. As someone else pointed out, this is probably because I am staring right in front of the nose of my airplane, and that ground feels like it’s coming up QUICK. It’s been too long since I’ve gone and hammered out some touch n goes. Going to do that soon, and my focus will be on looking TOWARD the end of the runway, flaring in that 2-3 foot sweet spot, and pulling back to match my sink rate. Great video as always, Josh. Just got my instrument rating a couple days ago, and your videos have helped me tremendously with just flying the airplane.

I had come to this assumption by playing the WWII game Enlisted. The prop driven fighter craft in it have a torqe effect that pulls left on older planes and some of the better planes like the P51 have mitigation. I finally realized why the game craft kept pulling to the left when it dawned on me the torqe of the propeller would cause the body to rotate opposite of the prop. Love the games realism aspects

which sunglasses are you using?

Really well explained.

Awesome! Mastering these manu. have been “holding me back” from my check ride… uggg! Thanks!

Just checked the video from my low pass at EDDS and counted 12 strips, then checked the chart - correct, 45 m wide :)

Whoever came up with the square traffic pattern is dumb. Very poorly thought out.

So, C182H with a XP470 (IO520, p.ponk upgrade). I land perfectly every time, until the last 2-3 feet AGL, then I drop it in. It feels great, I float out the energy, but drop it in. Ideas? Also, on my home grass strip, I grease it in...its only on larger hard surface runways where I drop it.

Looking forward to putting these ideas into practice. But one "student to CFI tip": stress leads to tunnel vision. I know I've had to put a lot of work into remaining calm with everything that's going on as we round out and touch down. I distinctly realized that on my early landings, I had my eyes locked on the end of the runway and my circle of vision was about 5 degrees wide - pure tunnel. But with more experience, that cone has widened a lot, but I'm still working on it. These tips are going to help a lot, but in early landings, my sense is that most students are going to be tunneling pretty hard so it will take some time and experience to have the ability to implement this stuff, outside of students who may be unnaturally chill.

Now I tell my friends my ground school instructor is a C130 pilot, very cool

Josh, Thank you for yet another great content! I really like the fact that you incorporated your military training in this video! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have watched a lot of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make these incredibly helpful.

Would it be a good idea to teach the co-pilot (in case it's not a real pilot) how to start the engine so in case of engine failure he can try to restart it?

The object of the perfect landing is stability. You should be looking way down the runway, and the peripheral vision should be judging the height above the pavement down through the sides of the windscreen. By maintaining proper approach speed, 1.3 times VSO with maybe five extra knots, you will visualize coming down a hill in a car and your reaction to level at the bottom will be automatic. Once you have leveled out, you then slowly rotate the nose up to just below takeoff attitude, and the plane will settle each time very softly. Oddly, I have softer landings at night than I do during the day. I was lucky enough a couple of weeks ago to practice my landings in a tail wheel airplane. This made my landings, very consistent. Wheel landings, well those needed a little bit of work but then again I haven’t flown a trail dragger for over 10 years. A good rule of thumb is do not descend more than 400 ft./min. and average your descent of 350 feet in each leg of the pattern. Fly one speed throughout the pattern until you are on short final, then you can slow the 1.3 times VSO.

Good to see a new post. Haven’t seen any of your videos for a while. Must’ve been a pretty good mission that you were on.

uhoh i didnt hear clear prop at the beginning

considering the following: sin(30°)= 0.50 sin(45°)= 0.70 sin(60°)= 0.87 I used to apply these: diff:30° -> Xwind= 50%, Headwind= 90% diff:45° -> Xwind= 70%, Headwind= 70% diff:60° -> Xwind= 90%, Headwind= 50%

Got tired of searching for a good aviation academy in europe.😢

Even if it doesn't help me, I can see how your videos may help others, and I like that, so I click the 'like' button, because that is what it is for.

If the only argument against it is a chance of split flaps, you should understand loss of control will be regardless, level or in a bank. If theres an immediate yaw or roll, all you can really do is try to retract flaps all the way or to the stuck flaps angle.

Big shooter here.

And here I thought 'Aimpoints' were more or less obsolete optical shotgun sights. 😅 Literally did pop into my mind despite the context here. Thought this might be a yawner but no, the articulation of the why's made all the difference. Excellent communication, love it.

"exposing the lie"... not to get too political, but your toes are in that conspiracy theory water.

Great video...thanks

Love these videos so helpful thank you. And PLEASE when he said BONITA I hope I wasn’t the only one signing the rest of the song BONITA , BONITA ,BONITA 😂🎶🎶 80,s joke if you don’t get it.

Any possibility of you making a video on landing techniques for no wind situations? I do decent in HW's but no winds screw me up. Thanks and love the videos, really helps me not only learn but understand the why's behind things.

"pulling back on the yoke at the same rate you are sinking". YES! Huge key there. I never taught my students to "flare". They just balloon. Instead we taught them to LEVEL OFF right above the runway. Wait for the sink....then offset the sink with back pressure as long as possible...."don't let it land" The result is a flare with a nice nose high touch down on the mains. Peripheral vision....Yes ! In some airplanes you are completely blind straight ahead in the flare and peripheral is all you got. Flaring to high is usually caused by looking too close over the nose thus experiencing ground rush. Knowing where to look is everything. Like your tips. Ur a good instructor. Landings are the hardest thing to teach and learn because you can't quantify it. It's a feel. Cheers from a fellow CFI and pilot.

I bought it. Its very comfortable and very nice. I like it a lot. The problem is, i cant hear comms well at all. I can hear the guy next to me, but i cant hear the radio

Vasi is ok in IFR conditions. On a nice day, ignore ‘em

LOVE THE COMS TRAINING!!!

Would you consider making an updated version now that the aviation weather website has since been changed in the areas gone over in this video? Love your channel and have used it immensely in studying for my private pilot checkride!

Most of your tips did not help me. Its not your fault. I was not inside the aircraft. I am an rc aircraft instructor. I stand on the ground and watch the aircraft from there. The low flare and high flare was very useful for me. We have a 400 foot runway and when we fly jets if we don't get a good flare we run off the end of the runway and usually cause damage to the aircraft. May your skies be blue and your wind calm.

Gun lover here... Hunt, target, reload, etc... one of rhe reasons moving back to AR from CA. Can't believe how big the flight community is here. Cost is some of the best in rhe country.

Thank you . Nice ride. Question can. Parachute
