Roy Learns WHEEL LANDINGS IN THE CESSNA 180/185 SKYWAGON Pt.2.
Roy Williams, owner of Airframe Components learns wheel landings from Leigh Smith, owner of Specialty Flight Training and a captain for a major airline.
In this video, Pt.2, Roy and Leigh are in the Airframe Components hangar raising the tail of the aircraft to show how much propeller clearance remains.
Can a pilot fall out of his seat if the tail is raised too much?
Can the propeller hit the ground?

This was really helpful. Thanks for showing visually just how difficult it would be to get the nose low enough for a prop strike!
