  • Welcome to my first video flying with a student! Michael and I went up the the eagle to practice some pilotage and landings at a nearby airport. We had a bit of fun along the way!
    Enjoy the flight

    Fulfilling my dream of becoming a pilot... Completed my 4th lesson today...Slow flight, stalls, turns, etc.& my first landing. Great videos! Thanks!

    Super useful to see all the elements contributing to a safe and proper landing during the actual flight. I can almost feel like I'm up there going through the same process.

    Tip from the flight instructor I flew with last week, he taught me how to teach landings as it is my aspiration to become an instructor myself, I think it's genius:
    Land by trying your best not to land.
    Hold the plane off for as long as possible and let gravity do her thing.

      Howard Lau good advice for small planes, not do good advice once you fly jet aircrafts. Because it will eat up a lot of runway

    • @tristanhnl
      @tristanhnl Před 6 lety +2

      Kevin is exactly right. Flying a small, light aircraft and coming in at 65-70 knots, you can afford to do what you describe. But when you're barreling in at 130-140 knots in a huge jetliner, you need to plant those wheels on the ground ASAP.

      @@tristanhnl yup. smooth landing comes 3. centerline and touchdownzone are way more important than making it smooth.. on the 737 manual even says "Do not allow the airplane to float or attempt to hod it off, Do not prolong the flare in an attempt to achieve a perfectly smooth touchdown".

    In a climb hand on the throttle ALL the time! On final aim point set up like straight and level gap attitude control airspeed with power, as you get closer the time to flare is when the rwy suddenly widens. Landing chant...aim point, aspect, airspeed, centreline

    • @LewDixAviation
      @LewDixAviation  Před 5 lety +1

      AV8R767 AV8R767 control airspeed with power? Goes against what we learn in slow flight which is how you’re set up when you’re landing a light aircraft. We use power for altitude control and pitch to control the airspeed.. So I would have to disagree with you

    You have plenty of elevator power in the flare. Very worth while to learn to raise the nose and keep that nose wheel well clear of the ground. You need to be rolling out with the nose wheel off the ground.

    @hb6986 Před 5 lety

    I appreciate what you are saying and what you are trying to do but my approach is very different from yours. if you feel airspeed is the key to good landing get your students to fly a circuit with the ASI blanked off (as I do) and you will find no difference in their landings. Then try a circuit with the windscreen blanked off ,(as I don't). What you find from this(if you survive) is that A/C Attitude, it's selection,maintenance and adjustment is the key to good landings. The other key requirement s height judgement above the runway. Early pilots were making good landings before ASIs were invented!

      Harry Brown I don’t doubt that your method works well. But there is more than one way to skin a cat. Shave a sheep. Eat a pizza. Think you get my point haha. It’s good to hear other instructors ways of doing things though. Difference in opinion is a good thing, definitely. Makes me grow

      Harry Brown you’re watching a video that shows about 10% of a flight, the better parts of a flight so to insinuate that I am not professional is a little harsh. I understand you taking the stance that I’m unprofessional because I like to make things fun, but I completely reject it. I don’t want to suck the life out of flight training for my students like the life was sucked out of it by all but 1 of the instructors I had. You don’t have to sit and be miserable in a cockpit to learn how to fly and I will never change my attitude in that respect. Flying should be fun and that’s how I try and make it for my students, and I’ve never had a student that hasn’t responded well to my attitude and the way I conduct myself.

    Again your trying to teach him to land while he is trying to take off do you really think a student is giving you 100%, concentration in this position! Totally unnecessary and potentially dangerous.
    You say if you nail the airspeed you will have a successful landing-do you really believe that? I suggest you have to do a few other things to get an aircraft to land safely! Think about what you are saying, most of it is superflous. All you need to say on final is POWER, SPEED - HEIGHT or CENTRELINE. Save the speech for your wedding

    • @LewDixAviation
      @LewDixAviation  Před 5 lety +5

      Harry Brown hahaha spoken like a true flight instructor there mate.. I 100% believe that nailing your airspeed is key to nailing your landings. Anyone who says otherwise probably doesn’t land planes very well!
      Let me know when you pass your CFI exam
