  • Van'S RV-6 C-GIPY is seen on the approach and and performing a rather hard and bumpy landing at CZNL in Nelson, British Columbia. It was nice to see this great looking aircraft in its yellow livery performing this firm landing. The aircraft was visiting Nelson as part of the Century Flight Club, a cross-Canada general aviation tour.

  • @johngilbert1325
    @johngilbert1325 Před rokem

    stabilized approach, got lifted down low maybe twice. Pilot knew he was high, but could get in down on the runway and feathered the throttle to make it work when failed flare dropped hard. Excellent. The pilot had this.

    Nice recovery. I’m fresh in my RV6 and out of the 15 landings I’ve done half are good. Look down runway is the key I finally had to re click over and over again.

  • @K1W1fly
    @K1W1fly Před 7 lety +5

    My pick is he was going for a wheeler landing (Hence the limited flare and higher speed) but misjudged it and it bounced. Done it plenty of times myself (I much prefer 3 pointers in my aircraft!) and its not really a heavy landing. He could have chosen to go around, but had plenty of runway left to recover and re-land as a 3 pointer. The joys of tailwheel aircraft!

  • @battz99
    @battz99 Před 6 lety +5

    He didn't do too badly considering he had a bit of lift from the trees near the houses that increased his approach height just before the threshold. He decided to dump it down rather than go-around and the resultant landing wasn't that hard considering. And he showed good judgement after the bounce to not panic as some less experienced pilots do and let the speed bleed off enough for a good controlled flare. Others would have acted too quickly and allowed it to bounce again and porpoise possible resulting in a nose-over. I say well done and I wouldn't describe it as a hard landing either. I've done much harder myself in my own aircraft I have to confess.

  • @billbrisson

  • @RV4aviator
    @RV4aviator Před 2 lety

    Any RV pilot knows they can pick up a very quick sink rate on late final. It at first unsettled me in my training in a 6. It doesn't happen every landing , but.... Thats one of the reasons for the RV9, very Cessna like in late final, solid, and predictable on final. An AOA sensor does alleviate . At any runway, trees can reduce the airflow available , thereby adding to "that sinking feeling ". RV's are NOT..,. to quote the Company "lawn ornaments ", they are superbly designed, tough all purpose Aeroplanes. The solid round gear main landing legs are well suited to absorb shock at the axle interface , thereby stopping vibration into the firewall/fuselage attach. After 6 years flying my RV4, I wouldn't change anything..!

    Hmm, to me that wasn't a hard landing at all.
    Touched down a bit early, but that was more of an aerodynamic bounce. May not have been pretty (to the uninitiated observer), But no big deal.
    I thought he did a good job not letting a "marginal" touch-down grow into something else.
