601XL B flying the river

i was trying out my new camera one day in Jan. 2015 flying over the South Branch of the Potomac River in Western Maryland in my Zodiac 601 XL-B, just a great day of flying.

i am flying the Zodiac 601 XL-B and have said how this plane eats rough air. well today i was up and had a 50k plus tail wind, smooth as silk. if you watch the air speed it go's from a 29k head wind to a 145k tail wind. I LOVE THIS AIR PLANE, great job Zenith on a great design. 180 MPH with tail wind pilot Ron Garrison

CHECK ON THE DECK
zhlédnutí 94Před 11 lety
I am a 67 year old senior citizen fighting pancreatic cancer who cut some grass to make ends meet. this one guy i cut for i have never met face to face, only by e-mail. on my last e-mail i said it's time to put another check on the deck, and he puts it on the deck out back and then i pick it up. well i said that sounds like a country song, so i wrote this little song about cutting his grass.

dead stick landing
zhlédnutí 583Před 12 lety
i was up over Cumberland MD. regional airport at 3000' and turned off the engine and did a true dead stick landing. i practice these all the time. i was flying my Zodiac 601XL-B that i built from scratch. a supper great airplane to fly.
100 % total dead stick landing
zhlédnutí 261KPřed 12 lety
at 4000' i turned off the engine and did a 100% total dead stick landing at mexico farms airfield, the 2 nd. oldest airfield in the united states which is a grass field and still in operation by the same family. i practice these so when it happens for real i am ready.
Way to go m'am, very good to practice these approaches
And later his story started with, "You're not going to believe this Sh*t......"
When my friend and me used to go up and fly we used to practice this manure. You were always looking for a place to land in case something would happen. Another pilots not paying attention. We almost got killed one day a guy in a twin doing a barrel roll coming down from 10,000 ft right in front of us almost killed us. But we both yelled at the same time May the maneuver.
"How to lose your license" should be the title!
That's just like practicing bleeding! Way to keep your speed up.
Stick seemed to be working fine to me.
no commentary. Boring. Yawn
Great pilot.
I had a 85hp J3 I did this with dozens of times. So pick your spot. Watch the spot move in your window. When it moves up turn. When it goes down extend your leg. Works every time. I had 13 forced landing in 17000 hrs and never had damage once. Most were in a 1340 Agcat.
Are you flying a Mini-Max? That looks a lot like the cockpit of my 1650 Eros!
Being able to choose where and when makes it a lot easier! I did the same experiment in a Piper Saratoga over 30 years ago. cut power over Purdue at 15,500 ft, with a stiff tailwind, and pulled the prop control all the way back. Glided the 44 miles to Kokomo and had to circle down to land. Being a rental, all that gliding time was free!
Sure would be nice to have 4K feet when the engine quits. Depending on the brick you are flying, 4K will get you about 5 miles. In the real world, it never happens like that, at least not for me. Try it at 1700 and 1000 feet going away from the airport. 300 feet on takeoff was the most exciting but that was only a partial power failure. If you want some serious dead stick landing practice, pull the engine to idle opposite your touch down point on downwind. If you are at a small rural airport and there's no traffic you should have no issues doing this. When you can land consistently without adding power, you will have learned.
Excellent pilot
There is plenty of time, heigth, space to shoot a Forced Landing OFF and walk away HERE !!. All good practice. There are two people in the air. "Those that have sufferd an engine failure and those that are about. retired CPL.
Is it just me or was it quieter when the engine was running
I like how the engine finally started after he landed safely. Like ..”I got your back bro”
Damn engine.
Es el ejemplo correcto de no aprender a volar. Innecesaria maniobra de ponerse en emergencia real. Se debe simular, no entrar en emergencia real. Mucha irresponsabilidad.
Excelente piloto, le felicito, todo el tiempo estuvo calmando y busco la zona adecuada mil gracias por compartir tan interesante video
That’s also called a power-off 180, except this is an engine-off 180
Good work. I constantly take tourists for joy flights and most are from india. Can I make a tip? If you ever have an lndiαи passenger and you have an engine failure always kick open the door and force them to jump or push them out. The amount of weight you will save will make all the difference.
Muito legal gostei 😃
This is horrible for the engine, it cools down way too quickly. This is what simulators are for.
A pilot must know how to glide. Well done.
Idle power would probably be as good.
I've never flown with the AC off. I'm sure if my AC ever died unexpectedly, I'd start sweating pretty quick.
Nice job. What model plane are you flying? BTW, if you really want to experience a deadstick landing, cut the power in an unfamiliar airspace. Not suggesting you do that. I certainly would not. You literally have to find your landing spot the moment the engine stops. As the altitude runs out I wouldn't want to have to be looking around at 1000ft for a place to land. The ground is coming up too fast.
pro
Tidy, I've only done this on idle. Even an engine on idle is spinning the fan, good finish
As a sailplane pilot, all my landings are "Dead Stick" and there's no go arounds!
Nice job! Personally I prefer to go a little higher in my club's glider and use spoilers (or you can use a slip) to make small adjustments but the important thing here is that the approach was well stabilized and the airspeed was kept just right. Stretching a glide has killed a lot of pilots, but with holding on a good aim point that was not an issue. Very professionally done.
The thing about engine outs is you dont get to choose when they happen, so practicing at lower altitudes is the right thing to do.
Just like a no-spoiler landing in a Schweizer 2-33 ;)
See, if I had to practice crashing whatever form of transportation, it would just be easier for me to not use that firm of transportation. Practicing this to me seems like you're just asking to die in a plane crash.
No worries!
Well done!
Funny. Thats how you scare people
Well done Sir! My Flight instructor gave me the advise: "Perform every 2nd time a spot landing, to get a feeling how it feels to do a landing without power and to calculate the glide to the threshold. An altitude reserve is always recommended and better than less. At final you can slip to reduce to much altitude reserve. Try it regularly and be prepared in the case of the case!"
Bravo !!!
that is nice dead stick landing
Dudes nail polish was perfect.
Is it legal to practice this? The safety margin seems very low. It could be with the proper certs, but I am not familiar.
What a nice landing... Congratulations!... :-) From Brussels, with Love...
That is technically a crash, not really a landing.
Sierra Hotel woman pilot. Nice.
WOW - Thats so Awsome Closet36....Nice landing buddy.....Cool plane....what kind is it....?? Thanks Steve - Columbus, Ohio USA
Were you at "best glide"? Seemed like you dropped pretty quickly altho you obviously hit your mark perfectly. In a real power failure, you would be trimmed up for best glide. I would also keep a little extra energy in my pocket to jump over any wires or fences I would see at the last second! Great job.
i wish i could afford to have my own plane
Quite obviously a bad weather situation for gliding under thermals.
The engine started back up again once it landed...that is just wrong... That guy had a lot of poise....but I bet he needed a roll of toilet paper after that..
This was on purpose. Cmon now dude. It’s clear he’s practicing dead stick landings. Easy at that altitude.
High elevatnion level, 500 feets as I can see on cockpit ? What is this plane model please ? .... Very well done gliding I do similar but engine on with low (neutral) revs.
Very good. . You did it just right.
