Ride along as @redwoodbusdriver, Steve Randall, shares his Grumman with me. I've flown a Grumman once before but it was so long ago that I had to check my logbook to make sure it was real. It's always fun to check out in new airplanes and in this video you'll learn some techniques that I use when I move to a new make / model.

Redwood Bus Driver adopting the "I'm not flying, where do I put my arms?" posture. LOL!! Great video guys. So much to learn from your work.

@mattbasford6299 4 года назад

That looks more like my normal base to final. I was taught to round off the base to final turn. There are some serious safety advantages to doing that. Your base to final turn isn't nearly as steep at low airspeed and in a high wing you have a great view of any traffic that might be on final. I had an old school CFI that had little safety tricks like that. Now, when I do my flight review with other CFI's, I often get puzzling looks. Another example is that I have never rotated on a normal takeoff. I was taught to put the nose in position and let the plane fly when it's ready. Once I put power in for the takeoff roll, I don't look at my airspeed indicator again until I'm off the ground.

@CFITOMAHAWK2 2 года назад

Good tips. Dont do long base legs and on take off You feel it off the ground on take off, never force it.

@RealWoutLies 2 года назад

Hm, thanks.

@darrylday30 Год назад

Rounding off the base to final turn is an interesting idea.

@FamilyFlyouts 2 года назад

Nice video, welcome to the Grumman Gang!

@TJCusumano 4 года назад

I always loved LoPresti's Grummans, especially the Tiger. Sliding canopy, slippery airframe, torque tube controls, castering nosewheel......What's not to love.

@mamoruisamu1 4 года назад

My first recorded flight hour was in a Grumman Lynx my dad owned when I was growing up. I remember the canopy and him letting me handle the flight yoke to point the airplane at a water tower near our usual destination airport. I’d like to try one again now that I can appreciate it. Glad you got the chance to add a new airplane to your repertoire!

@sams6928 4 года назад

Nice landing! Looks like a fun airplane to fly.

@sebastiangrimm5671 4 года назад

Awesome again, the only point missing is a pic of the plane from the outside 😊...logged a few hours on that type, quite nice airplane! Thanks, Take care! Regards from Germany

@marsgal42 4 года назад

I used to have an AA-5 Traveler as my neighbour on the ramp. Sweet little plane.

@mikewhite2831 4 года назад

Great video 👍 always good stuff Thanks

@FlightBuff 4 года назад

I agree! Always helpful and I have incorporated a lot of his tips into my flying..

@Parr4theCourse 4 года назад

Airborne again-wooop!! Yea, my first few landing after almost 3 months away have been a little fast and a little off.... getting better but amazing how rusty you get after some time away, not terrible, just a little off!!!

@pdawdy 4 года назад

That looks like a fun plane. My grandfather got his wings in a Grumman biplane in 1928.

@DOMINICAAVIATION 4 года назад

What a great video. Huge like. Take care

@Dfendr96 2 года назад

Thanks Jason, I recently bought a Grumman Traveler and it has been a bit of a project. I am very excited to take her up for the first time, but I am researching her behaviors.

@RealWoutLies 2 года назад

In my search for my first plane, the Tiger is one I'm interested in. Oh, just got out of the 172, competing my 4th hour and 12th landing. Im so excited to be on this journey and look forward to that "seat of the pants" feeling. Thanks for sharing. I'm paying close attention.

@Wolficorntv 4 года назад

Glad you liked the Grumman! I've got a '92 Tiger and it's a sweet little bird.

@mafp22w 4 года назад

Tigers are such a treat. I can’t believe you hadn’t flown one. I love our 182, but I’m tempted to pickup a Yankee or Cheetah for when I don’t need the extra carry!

@feetgoaroundfullflapsC 4 года назад

Good to practice those very low go arounds. That is my username for 2 years now. Practice them also with full flaps and turning to right side of runway. That is the difficult one, you practice go arounds while turning, low climbing slow flights, and flaps details too. Default Maneuver?? Good Exercise for good pilots only..

@GaryMCurran 4 года назад

Next thing you know Jason, you're going to be getting a call from Texas to go fly another Grumman... With Bryan Turner! DON'T GO! 😁😂😋😱😜 You might end up talking to some people you don't want to, or worse, AOPA may take your name off the RU-vid Pilots list! 😜😋❤️

@ibgarrett 4 года назад

Plus its a real bait and switch. Bryan will TELL you’re going to be flying the Cirrus and then oddly it will be a Grumman... I’ve only fallen for that twice now...

@bikefreakstl 4 года назад

Nice!!,you greased that last landing

@ofirgal2210 4 года назад

Great video, just in time for me to transition to a new Fly Synthesis Texan 570 LSA from a Cessna 172, totally needed to learn the engine. the Rotax is way different from the Lycoming and the difference in glide ratio in combination with the aircraft is really different.

@darrylday30 Год назад

I loved Steve’s book. I’d also love to do some ferry flying and may get the chance to do so as I transition from mechanic to pilot. Know the engine, know where and when to look. BTW, I’m shopping for a Tiger right now.

@coppi60 4 года назад

Great video!! Did you do any aerial work in addition to staying in the pattern?

@keithmaxon9510 4 года назад

Great video. I decided when I passed my PPL I was going to buy myself a Grumman. I think they are super cool. How was the caster steering?

@mikebeuselinck6138 4 года назад

Just curious: Is it standard local practice for that airport to cross over 35 in left traffic for 30? Or make a tighter pattern so base and final remain left of 35? Only asking because, for example, at KOAK runway 33 right pattern I was trained to stay right of runway 28R and keep a tight base and final (i.e. no crossing over 28R). That maintains separation in case there was traffic for 28R (or in your case 35).

1977 Grumman American AA-5A Cheetah N9943U LYCOMING 0-320 SERIES 150HP Looked up the N number (AA5A 150HP 2,200lb GW vs AA5B 180HP 2,400lb GW)

@AV8OR51 4 года назад

Cool! I part won a Tiger, it is an awesome little airplane. Were flying in Tiger?

@kenellis2410 4 года назад

I flew an AA1B back in the ‘80’s. $18/hr wet! Those were the days.

@CFITOMAHAWK2 2 года назад

Maybe early 80's in a still 60c a gallon country airport.

@frednorthup1657 4 года назад

Do you ever practice coming down over obstacles? It seems like I am always coming down over trees in my area. Kind of challenging to land near the numbers. My Poh says approach speed is 60 mph which is almost impossible to hit the numbers. I'm guessing the trees have grown since they set lines ?

@TheFinerPoints 4 года назад

Yes, I think that is great practice. There are some good videos with Paul about short field landings on my channel

@frednorthup1657 4 года назад

I'll try to find them even though these fields are not that short for my plane.

@feetgoaroundfullflapsC 4 года назад

60 mph on Cessna 150-170 series, 70-75 mph on Grummans.

@FlightBuff 4 года назад

I am happy to hear that cloth masks are acceptable. They let the sound get to the mic a lot better. Beautiful landings! I know I will be a little rusty with mine once I get behind the controls again. I love the idea of doing a go-around for the first approach.

@bradkeener07 4 года назад

All my time prior to getting my Baron was in Cessnas. I flew a Grumman for the first time a few weeks ago and didn't like it at all.

@CFITOMAHAWK2 2 года назад

Say why. Too nice and aerobatic feeling for you?? Too much visibility?? Too fast for 180 hp, Too good looking, scared of flying with canopy a bit opened. It is the king of the 180 hp class. LOL..
