- This week, watch as Wayne and Jean go up in some gusty weather to demonstrate safe landing. The team does some laps in the pattern taking turns landing, followed by a talk about what porpoising is and how to avoid it, and finished off with some commentary in sim student landings. Stick around for a fun and educational video!

The winds there that day were wonky! Good seeing you guys out there
Thanks for sharing.
I have about 200 hours in a Cessna 170B, I really got used to pulling the yoke back and making full stall landings.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully you learned something new 😎
Great video., I always love to see how much fun you guys have.
great video,I was taught when flaring, once you take it, never give it back.
Wow such a good video, well done lads. So epic seeing the big dawgs break down landings like that. So helpful!
Great video Matthew! Thanks for staying late to get it done.
Any time!
Enjoyed the pointers and great demonstrations! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Another great video..always learning
ok. time to ‘fess up. How much water was in the baggage compartment? because on the 914 Sling4 it’s tough to float that nose wheel with two men in the front….
generally i find it easier with a little bit more rear C/G. and then speed control on finals absolutely critical.
we had a couple of 2’s with bent nose gear
due to PIO on landing…..
the thing i've had the most trouble getting used to is the difference in yaw control between the nose gear and the rudder. If you are going down the runway with your nose down it takes a completely idfferent amount of rudder than if your nosewheel is off and you rely on the rudder to keep centerline. Not much of an issue on a smooth runway where you can keep the nosewheel down until rotation, but on a bumpy runway it can be quite jarring to have the nosewheel pop up, then have to add a bunch more rudder to keep it straight, only for the nose to come back down and take you too far to the right. The landing at 4:25 demonstrates what I'm talking about. the plane veers right when the nosewheel finally comes down.
I found that unless I am on a very smooth runway, I just do a softfield takeoff every time and just get the nosewheel off the ground ASAP to avoid it.
I haven't noticed this in other aircraft with nosewheel steering, like a 172, but it possible that just because I only flew them off smooth runways?
Good advice, we agree that for bumpy runways it's best to treat it as a softfield landing/takeoff to get the nosewheel up as soon as possible. Have you flown in a Sling yet? 🛩
@@SlingPilotAcademy yes that was my experience in a SLING LSA. I’ve really liked the plane so far. I’d love to take the sling to a grass strip. You guys should do a video about grass strips
@@ryancrazy1 Great idea!!
Thanks
I can do better 😜 strong finish great video as always.
Just curious, did the clutch save the engine on N288SL prop strike?
Yes it did!
The engine is just about always protected from the prop strike by the clutch which is yet another one of the great and unique features that makes the Rotax the amazing engine that it is. Of course there is a gearbox inspection that needs to be done in the case of any prop strike which is far more economical, convenient and favorable to rebuilding the entire engine. Rotax rules!
