I just noticed your name. Is the Zoom from Stick and Rudder's "law of the roller coaster?" Without zoom reserve, kinetic energy, don't pull on the elevator. Use potential energy of altitude, dynamic neutral stability, to make 1 g turns at any bank angle (don't pull on the elevator.) On that 1,300 runway takeoff, Wolfgang would want us to still be at level and 2' AGL at the end of the runway with zoom reserve energy. Yes, he said try to hit the tree and then zoom over, but no tree to just clear so save all that good airspeed. Airspeed, not just enough altitude to kill us, is life down low. Again, good job.

Good job with power/pitch deceleration (slow enough to sink to so dynamic throttle for glide angle, elevator for deceleration) to eliminate need to round out which results in float in hold off. While headwind will provide free relative wind and allow even further ground speed reduction, watch for sink under the line of wind stream like water as the wind comes off the mesa. Of course sink is good to bring the throttle into dynamic play for exact glide angle and rate of descent. We just don't want more sink than throttle. Prop blast is part of what makes the power/pitch approach the best short field approach. It works with the steep glide angle as well, over trees or to be above the declination line (line of wind flow off the mesa.) We are going for an airspeed, in low ground effect, well below Vso, and out of ground effect number. Done well, we will touch down slowly and softly with power exactly on the desired spot. Again, good job. Done well.

Do you have to get permission to land there ahead of time?

I was lead to this video after watching video games of donkey kong country

That was awesome dude. What a nice little air field.

Great job Mr.!

You love that airstrip and are getting valuable practice every time you fly in and out of it. Keep it up !

Nice landing and a nice Archer. Where is this airport?

Nice landing, especially given length and the optical illusions you can get from the airport being on the hill like that. What was the elevation of the airport?

Legend has it that this plane is still there!

Moar right rudder!

You didnt use enough reverse thrust

Please put the identifiers in so we can pretend in MSFS 😁

Is the fish restaurant still open, down the hill? Hammer

Isn't Lake Wohlford a Private airfield? A PA-28 with the "hershey bar" wing is a fun aircraft, especially if it's a 180 or 235hp version. With the O-320 engined versions, I wouldn't try that take off when the temperature is over 85° F, it could bite you in the butt! Hammer Comm'l./Inst, etc since 1981, US Army CW4/SrAviator

Flown in and out of there a number of times. Nice landing.

so sick

KSEE was my home field. Great to see it at night! 🌙

Excellent take off!. Can I feature this clip in my uploads. of course with credit and link to the original source. Thanks

Rather a non-standard pattern entry... to a Private airfield. I liked taking the flaps off, putting the weight on the wheels to stop on the short strip. Last time I went in there it was in a Cardinal RG... Hammer

Ah yes, 28L at MYF. I did all my VA Inst. and Comm'l training at National Flight College there from 1980 - 1982 before I started flying for the Army. Even flew a C-172 from the Armed Forces Aero Club to Alaska for a month in 1981. Good trip, 44.5 hours of HARD IFR in an a/c that was only marginally equipped for the conditions. BOY did I ever learn fast! Good job! Didn't waste a bit of runway, either! Hammer

Nice piloting, man! I do miss flying the Cherokees. I soloed and got my certification in one (N303GS).

That was sweet. Great job!

Nice stabilised approach.....nice flying....nice safe landing......love it..!!

Practicing night short field?

It's amazing how much you prospective changes just by moving a foot and a half to you right. No big deal if everything moved over with you, but that's never the case. Regardless, good landing.

No 1000’-ers that night eh?

Nice landing

Lovely! Beautiful approach and touchdown. I must say I was also worried about airspeed lol but I know you know what you're doing, and the ASI was really steady. Thank you for sharing!

Great job! What camera were you using?

Bumpy approaches are always fun. Well done Mate 🇦🇺✈️

very nice, I just love flying at night. 45% of my total time is at night. however, I think you were a little to slow for my liking after you turned final and especially on short final. of course, I have not flown in 15 years and I have not flown a PA28 in 30 years. do you ever fly into Lingburg or el Cajon?

Luckily Pilot Debrief didn't catch this lol 😂

VNAV Approach or did you intercept the transponder? Does this aircraft have transponder capabilities? If so can it ride the glide slope automatically?

Great job

It’s great to be proficient in both seats in the aircraft you fly and know it

Good, but consider Vs + 5 @ night single engine

Hmmm, no screen cycling, not ANY TRAFFIC ANYWHERE car or otherwise, no turbulence, radio traffic? Airtight enclosed, comfortable bedroom world .

Epic landing!

Nailed it! Great job...

Nice

Damn that looks like my old Cruiser.

great job thanks terrific landing great wow

Which airport is this? ICAO?

Good job! Never forget, when surrounded by higher terrain do a vertical climb over the field...always a place to land as well

Impressive. You look calm and relaxed. Myself- not so much on a 1300' runway. Great job!

Well done, looked smooth.

Wait, why did you put flaps up as soon as you touch down? Normally, I keep it down until I bleed all the airspeed. If I put it down that fast it’s usually a touch n’ go.

excellent.. Well done to all

Great job! I used to frequent this airport in the late 60s to mid-70s (C-140 and C-172). It wasn't private/restricted then and it was entertaining to watch "out-of-towners" make 2 or 3 go-arounds and then give up.
