    Josh, I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed this video. As someone who will be starting their pilot training soon, it's helpful to hear you explain what you're doing while flying a basic pattern solo, such as altitudes and tips. Many times there's so many other things going on in your videos that these things get looked over for us, the viewers. I know you're careful to not call your videos instructional, so I won't call it that, but it was great to have to much practical flying info in one of your videos. Keep it up!

    This must be fantastic. About 10 years ago, when we still lived in McKinney Texas, I went up on a discovery flight. It was only about 30 minutes, but I knew I had to get a private pilot's license someday. There is just something about being up there , I can't describe it. The pilot let me "fly " the plane from the take off up to about 1500 '. He handled the rudder though! As we were coming in to land, he asked if I wanted to land, I was more than happy to let him have the honors! Haha! When I got home, my wife said I was smiling a goofy smile, and in a great mood for a week after the flight!

    Thanks Josh. A great refresher for me. Will hopefully be doing the same in South Africa in a few days. It's winter there but should be clear and sunny. I think the 172 there is a 180 hp but guess power settings would be very similar.
    Thanks to your videos I've even gone and got a GoPro Session. Have never used one before but should be fun trying! The software and editing side scares me, might delegate my Wife and or Daughters to try that!

  • @atce4
    @atce4 Před 8 lety +2

    Interesting how techniques change, I learnt to fly in the the UK on C150s/152s in the late 70's and was taught to reduce power to around 1700rpm on base leg, carb heat on and apply first stage flaps when speed was inside the white arc. On short finals some of my instructors also suggested turning carb heat off in case of a go around. I guess there isn't a definitive approach to flying, seems there are different techniques.
    Great videos by the way.

  • @erichminer7722

    Love your channel Josh and this video is perfect for me! First solo for me on Tuesday, difficult to express how much I'm looking forward to it, so this video was really good...I was going through the flight in my head as you were flying round, doing the checklists etc! Haha Graham Gall's comment below is relevant to me, I have been trained by an ex-BA pilot (I'm in the UK) in the manner Graham said, so there are some slight differences but of course it is all relevant and similar. Keep up the good vids!!! :D

  • @FuriouslyFurious
    @FuriouslyFurious Před 8 lety +1

    One thing I would recommend as I've heard from other pilots: you shouldn't put the gear up until you're out of usable runway. On the first takeoff it looked as though, if the engine died, you would be forced to land straight ahead, but you put your landing gear up. I think a better mantra might be, positive rate, no usable runway, gear up. Keep up the good videos!!

    • @IACaptainKen
      @IACaptainKen Před 8 lety

      The 172 has fixed gear. He wasn't putting it up.

    • @FuriouslyFurious
      @FuriouslyFurious Před 8 lety

      +IACaptainKen I know that. I have quite a few hours in the 172. If you watched the video, he said if he were flying a complex airframe he would have put it up at that point, which is why I commented.

    • @IACaptainKen
      @IACaptainKen Před 8 lety

      Okay. I must have missed that part in the video. What air speed are you using on final?

    • @FuriouslyFurious
      @FuriouslyFurious Před 8 lety

      +IACaptainKen If I remember correctly, it would be somewhere around 70, but always preferred to be a little faster on final. One of my old instructors suggested I keep on the faster side of airspeeds envelopes in the event of engine failure I could glide just a bit further - Also, you can force the 172 down pretty fast if need be.

    • @IACaptainKen
      @IACaptainKen Před 8 lety +1

      I usually go for 70 knots and am usually a little high on final. Would rather be high than low as you can always come down if your engine goes South but you can't go up.

    Josh, I have a 172 exactly like yours. I usually slow down to 70 knots and use it all the way to the runway. Also, do you sometimes go clear to the 40 degree flap setting? I've been stopping at 30 degrees lately and seem to like it better. The owner of our FBO used to tell us, many years ago, "use all the flaps you got". He was flying B24s in WW II.

    Your patterns seem extraordinarily large. Maybe it's the gopro or camera you're using, but the best techniques are exercised in a tighter pattern in my opinion. Flying 2 mile plus final approaches during circuits around the field is just taking more time and not allowing you to work on adjusting your glidepath visually; rather dragging the aircraft in using power.

      I mean just because it rains doesn't mean it will be IMC. I've seen the rain cloud layers at 3,000, although that's not always the case. Now if there is a weather phenomenon, that's really not a good day to fly. If you have 1 mi vis and clear of clouds in class G airspace, you're fine to fly although it wouldn't be a good idea.

    • @mauriceellis3034
      @mauriceellis3034 Před 8 lety

      Although he was in controlled airspace this time, so there are more tighter vis and ceilings you have to abide by. If he was to get into IMC, then he could ask fly under IFR since he is instrument rated.

      @jaywung7616 Před 8 lety

      He is making it part of his standard takeoff checklist. It stops wheelspin before you raise the landing gear in a retractable gear plane. Pointless in a C172, and should not be necessary in a retractable with proper tire clearance, but it doesn't hurt to make it a routine

    • @ollies3236
      @ollies3236 Před 8 lety

      Always plan ahead. You should have a good idea of what atc is going to tell you before you contact them. That's just a part of staying ahead of the aircraft. It's also helpful to have a scratch pad and pen/pencil standing by so you can jot quick notes of their instructions.

      Chaz Barnett yeah my instructor lets me use a pad. Thats what we did. Mostly its just me getting comfortable and being able to say things. I have been talking scenarios out in my head. Also i wouldnt call myself dislexic but i will confuse things around here and there.

    Is pattern altitude relative to each airport?

    • @wonkyp8080
      @wonkyp8080 Před 8 lety

      Yes, it's usually about 1,000 feet above the ground elevation. Like for instance my airport is 965ft above sea level, so we round up to 1,000 and fly 1,000 above that. So our pattern altitude is 2,000ft.

  • @MarkNewtonFlies
    @MarkNewtonFlies Před 8 lety

    Shouldn't you be turning off carb heat before you get on the ground? On 172s carb heat air is unfiltered, you shouldn't be using it when you're in dusty air close to the ground, otherwise you'll suck abrasives into your engine. Wouldn't be surprised if you find silicates in your oil filter element.

    • @zzangon8
      @zzangon8 Před 8 lety

      It's depends on pilot. If you think you may get carb ice yes you need to check carb heat on before landing you don't want that during go-around. If you are flying in arizona So dry almost always no weather except funky thunderstorms time to time, yes you don't need carb heat on for aircraft to have max performance

    • @MarkNewtonFlies
      @MarkNewtonFlies Před 8 lety

      +zzangon8 No, I think you're misunderstanding my comment. I know when to use carb heat (and it shouldn't depend on the pilot, it depends on the atmospheric conditions!). The issue here is whether it should be used on the ground. And on the C172 it definitely shouldn't be.
      I'd be pulling on carb heat as I bring the power below 2000rpm or thereabouts, using it during base and final when low power makes ice more likely. But when crossing the fence on short final, part of my pre touchdown check would include pushing the carb heat knob back in: It's no longer needed, and it can shorten the life of the engine if it's used on the ground.

    • @zzangon8
      @zzangon8 Před 8 lety

      Mark Newton Like i said all pilots have different standard some may have stricter standard and may put in carb heat during take off and landing because of possible carb icing
      Its your choice either you have engine failure right after take off due to carb icing or you just lose some RPM like you take off at the higher density altitude and its not too big of deal
      Unless runway is super short

    • @kiwiaviator7983
      @kiwiaviator7983 Před 8 lety +1

      In New Zealand they teach carb heat to cold, 300ft before touch down, this is in case of full power being required (go around). Lot of grass strips here too, don't want anything getting into the carburettor.

    • @MarkNewtonFlies
      @MarkNewtonFlies Před 8 lety

      +zzangon8 Look, no.
      You can't get carb icing at full power (at least, not in the kind of conditions conducive to flying airplanes). The ice is formed by the constriction caused by the butterfly in the throttle body. If the butterfly is wide open, there's no constriction, and no ice. So you won't need carb heat for takeoff.
      Secondly, you also won't get carb ice in the ten seconds between short final and touchdown (and even if you could, it wouldn't matter anyway because you have a runway underneath you)
      Thirdly: The C172 POH says using carb heat on the ground can cause engine damage. I'm yet to find a club which requires procedures which violate the instructions in a POH, or an insurance company that'll cover them if they do.
      Use carb heat in the pattern, by all means; but turn it off on short final before you touch down. It should not be used on the ground except during a functional check in a sealed run up bay.

    @semperflyer797 Před 8 lety

    I'm not entirely sure what to take from this video. Usually you are very detailed in your procedures as far as trying to keep them as near to the same as possible, and always doing your normal checklists. In this video you do it kind of half-assed. You use the visual marker of the highway intersection for your turn marker each time and reduce the power when you're abeam the numbers but other than that it seems kinda willy nilly as to what and why you're doing other things. This almost feels like complacency is setting in on this flight and you're not using it to actually keep your skills sharp. On one approach you throw in the flaps late and on another only use the first bit of flaps. As my instructor told me, we want to do the procedures of flying the plane the same, and then make corrections based on what mother nature is giving us. On your first approach you looked like you were stable and then you went a bit shallow but caught it with a little power at the end. On the second you were slow and low from the base to final turn in. Your third approach looked like even though you were possibly a little high it was going to be textbook because of the wind and where you had let it blow you to, but you let the plane stay high and fast until short final and only then added in flaps. I'm not trying to beat you up here, and maybe we have had different styles of instruction, but all of mine from student in the single cessna to instrument, to multi's, to even helicopter always harped on flying the pattern the way it needed to be flown. By that I mean, do it all as close to the same as possible, and only make the necessary adjustments to make the aircraft do what you want it to do. They would say something to the effect of, (with exception of the helicopter when we weren't doing run on landings) pick a spot and aim for that spot every time. If you don't land on that spot, make a mental note of what happened that caused you not to hit your spot and try to correct that on the next pass. Don't let the plane be high and fast, pull some power, hold the pitch and add some flaps. The last thing you want to be doing on short final is messing with the flaps. What if someone pulls on to the runway right ahead of you because their brakes failed? Wouldn't it be good to have your hand on the throttle to be able to execute an immediate go around. Get the plane configured for landing, then use your ability to judge what the plane and the wind are doing by visual references and make corrections to pitch and power so that you hit your spot. Hope it didn't feel like I was being too hard on you, I just don't want to see you become complacent. Too many times complacency has killed an otherwise skillful pilot.

      Every approach/landing is different!

    • @Aviation101
      @Aviation101  Před 8 lety

      Also, if you'll watch the video without skipping through, you'll see that the first landing was very routine, the second, I was paying a good bit of attention to the Mooney that I was on a collision course with. He was on short final doing about 120 knots, and I was getting ready to go around because of our closure.

      @semperflyer797 Před 8 lety

      Indeed they are, but 3 back to back circuits with this much variance in the way you flew them is what troubled me. Again just trying to offer some constructive criticism in what I saw.
