Flaps setting depends on the airplane. The drag from flaps can slow down some planes on the runway so significantly more roll distance is required to reach rotation speed. But for my plane 15 degrees of flaps works best.
What's the reason for rotating before you reach VX airspeed. Won't a plane reach that speed in a shorter distance when the wings are not producing lift, thus induced drag ?
When he says depress the breakers he says that to make sure the wheels stop spinning after takeoff. I’m not sure what effect it has but I think the spinning wheels vibrate a lot which makes the whole plane vibrate/shudder
There is bad advice in this video. Many Cessna 172 aircraft POH call for zero flaps for short-field take-off. This video instructs the pilot to use 10% flaps. If you use 10% flaps for your shortfield takeoff you will probably fail your checkride. Check your POH!
I have always found it curious that older c172 short field recommend 0 flaps and new c172 call for flaps 10. As far as I know its the same basic airframe [aerodynamically], maybe the higher power of the new models changes the optimal setting or they have just had time to do a lot more testing. Also old c172 could go to flaps 40 which really allowed a steep approach and short landing, newer models are limited to flaps 30.

this channel is great, thank you for uploading these!!
Shouldn't ALL takeoffs be short field takeoffs? Then you have as much runway as possible to land on in case of engine failure.
Not quite but if you want sure

Looking for height not distance for this takeoff
good video. thank you for information.
May I know what software do you use to make this video animation????
What is the pilot saying when you he presses the breaks? Also, why do you do this??

Very good information here, but make sure you always check your POH first!
what should call after stop wheel spin?

GS Wingnut doing my Canadian checkride tomorrow, it calls for 10% flaps on both short and soft field take offs.
@@FireBoss08 It depends on what the POH for your aircraft specifies.
@@FireBoss08Good luck!
Thanks! Passed the ground portion! Weather moved in and couldn’t fly. Flying next clear day.

The little brake thing is pointless. The air rushing over the wheels will make them spin again after you let off brakes.
Not really,, if the wheels are spinning, it will make a vibration. In addition, they won't spin too after braking
Should I have flaps in? 2:20

@@TheDuckofDoom. I heard one of the main reasons they took away flaps 40, was that go arounds were extremely dangerous
