Watch this to see how one lesson helped fix my landings. Does power or pitch stabilise a landing approach? Watch me flying circuits in a Cirrus SR20 with Flight Instructor Philippe with multiple landings at a mountain airport as I experiment with pitch and power adjustments for perfect landings.
Filmed in a Cirrus Aircraft in Norway during 2019, this instructional flight helped me fix up my landings by focussing on using pitch and power to stabilise my approach.
If you're learning to fly, want to improve bad landings, or just want to see how to land a plane, I'm flying with Philippe Polman is a Cirrus Standardised Instructor Pilot (CSIP). You can fly with Philippe in his SR20 N55557 too, check him out at: www.flywithfre...

Valuable lesson, I can’t wait to go up with an instructor when this crisis is over.

@StefanDrury 4 года назад

That's going to be the first flight I do when I'm flying again - an hour refresher with an Instructor maybe shooting a few approaches, a few circuits. I'm looking forward to it too mate.

Nico, I’ve seen quite a few of your videos and it seems that you have a body of experience, I fly for only five years now, and I don’t at all mean to be arrogant or pretentious but I really really fail to see anything special being explained or demonstrated in this vid?

@miketurner_aus 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing Stef. Took me back to my student pilot days in the early '70's. My dad always taught me that pitch controlled airspeed and power controlled decent rate. You really got that technique nailed and Philipe is a really impressive instructor. His calm composed approach is brilliant.

@HarryWho102 4 года назад

This was a real lesson for me. I will never be a pilot but I can be in the simulated world on a PC. Now I can actually see hows it's done. I'm going to drag out my SR22 throw the covers off and practice on X-Plane11. Love your work sir.

@jimmydaamen 4 года назад

Super valuable lesson! My instructor has always taught me the same thing but seeing it from another perspective as well is super useful. And that smile on your face when you did the super smooth landing - a visual representation of the greatest feeling ever as a student pilot! Thanks for this video, Stef! Every bit helps me make sure I don't forget any of the hard-earned knowledge while in quarantine. I can't wait to get flying again!

That was so good Stef, took me back to days of endless circuits as a student pilot. That moment when you realise you can fly a circuit without looking at the instruments is the moment you and the aircraft become one! (or a, 'Good Stick' as one of my instructors used to say!) I think there may be a few of us providing extra work to instructors and CFI's once restrictions are lifted!

@TJFlyingAdventures 4 года назад

NIce... My aha moment that fixed my landings was "Pitch 4 Airspeed & Power 4 Altitude" But always helps to practice with someone like Philippe :-)

@jansvoboda4293 4 года назад

@jesus christ himself If your airspeed is low, pitch down to gain speed. If you are losing to much altitude, add power, if you are not loosing enough altitude, power down.

Could use a remote airfield like this one since probably no noise restrictions have to be considered. Our exercises need not only power control but also propeller adjustments when a- and descending for noise reduction.

@ronaldcuieii4775 4 года назад

The last time I attempted to land I was aiming a third into the runway☺, this video has certainly given me some insight on an appropriate approach🙂

@StefanDrury 4 года назад

Different instructors teach different techniques, and it does depend on the type of approach. For a glide approach for example you'd want to aim deeper into the runway. This is just the way I've been taught to fly a visual approach using pitch and power.

Forced landing lessons, got a choice of water or hills. I saw a Cherokee do a forced landing in Vermont South in Melbourne around 76 I think. Was mostly new housing with 1 paddock. Saw his approach just perfect, I didn’t react at first just thought he was doing a bit of illegal low flying.

@JhunM69 Год назад

Nice! You have a good flight instructor... I'm not even a pilot but been watching a lot of videos and I totally got what he was telling you... except, I think he was just the 2nd instructor that I've heard saying "go on idle" on landing. Most videos I've watched was more concern about maintaining certain speed and then just before touchdown increasing speed just in case it needed to get back on the air right away...

@philipstubbs7399 3 года назад

My approach and airspeed control is spot on. My flare needs work. But i suspect im not looking far enough down the runway. I either balloon or land flat. Cant wait to get back in the air

@BlueSideUp 3 года назад

Might be an advantage for me in this to come from Helicopters. Energy management is everything with additional risks of vortex rings, etc. In a helicopter you control your approach altitude with the collective (power) not the pitch as well. Pitch will accelerate you very quickly, incl. descent rate. So when I first flew a fixed wing, I wouldn't even have considered pitching down if too high. I intuitively used power for altitude control and stick for airspeed like I am used to from the rotorcraft. There are also downsides. With the Helicopter you of course line up with the runway with the stick not the pedals. That is something to change for fixed wing. And promptly I did it wrong first landing. With good energy management it doesn't show so much but the instructor still noticed. Like your videos and envy where you usually fly compared to very densely populated Germany. Keep it up please.

@peterdavila3045 2 года назад

One of the best videos on controlling the glide slope that I have seen, thank you. I'm a student pilot myself. I was always taught not to put flaps in during a turn, but to wait for level flight. I heard you getting instructions to put flaps in during your turns to base or final. I was always told not to make multiple control changes at once, but to let the airplane be stable after each change. What's your opinion on that?

@gruberjohann800 2 года назад

My instructor forced me to change flaps also during turns, ascending, descending but air speed had to be appropriate. Was not enthusiastic doing so.

@MarcusSkyVentures 2 года назад

that's why we learn slow flight. pitch airspeed, power for altitude

@VictoryAviation 3 года назад

That pattern looked absolutely huge. Just out of curiosity, would you guys have been able to make the field if your power went out while making that turn from base to final? It seemed like you had forever to line up your glide slope and all that. Out patterns seems a lot smaller, for better or for worse. We’re flying 172’s... par for the course. Thanks for posting this video.

@marcelorsc Год назад

I thought the same, we are used to fly a much tighter circuit, so having less time for adjustments on final. I think I should wide it a bit, but still enough for a engineless landing if needed. In their case there is the fact they are flying over high mountains, so if not able to reach the runway a possibility is just turn into the lakes. The problem is when you fly in an airport totally surrounded by a city (my case).

@ForFunFlyer 4 года назад

Like my instructor always said; it's all about energy management! 😊 Nice video, mate! I like these uncut episodes, so you can suck up all in flight details! 👌🏻

@flyingark173 4 года назад

@StefanDrury 4 года назад

Yeah it was a good revision exercise for me so I thought it would be useful to share. Depends if you're on a precision or non-precision approach of course, but for a visual approach like the ones in this video, this is the method I use now.

@MiG82au 4 года назад

@@StefanDrury it works just fine on precision approaches too. The quick and small corrections can be done with pitch, but power has to be used too to change the longer term flight part.

@JoeGoldman 4 года назад

Looks nice to fly there - as others have said though this was pretty much in my first circuits lesson, power = altitude on final and keep the nose down at the runway. It's hard in the little Jabiru i fly though when the throttle control is hard to move in little amounts so sometimes end up pumping in too much power and floating a few extra hundred metres haha.

@mikep1386 4 года назад

@aviator_tech867 4 года назад

This is actually an offset ILS, both LOC and GP is offset to the extended centerline. You do not see this at many airports! :) (Offset LOC is pretty common in Norway but not an offset ILS/GP) Been in Sogndal a few times Flight calibrating the ILS and climbing a nearby mountain on the overnight :) Beautiful scenery but no place to be lost in bad weather. You really need to know were you are.. Anyway, Nice video! Keep Up the good work 👍 :)

@MichaelShaw_vk2hms 4 года назад

@DanFrederiksen 4 года назад

Flaps for landing makes sense because you want to land on a cushion and into a cushion and flaps do both. But I've wondered if take off wouldn't be better without flaps? you can technically take off sooner maybe but wont a no flaps plane be in better condition in the same time, going higher speed, not being dragged by flaps and you need higher speed to really depart the ground anyway.

@@StefanDruryit’s cringeworthy to me that there are still instructors teaching pitch for airspeed and power for altitude. This is why we have so many stall/spin accidents in GA. Why teach it backwards from when you fly an instrument approach. Why backwards from automation. Why backwards from what airlines use or any jet pilot? Pitch controls glide path/altitude. Power controls airspeed. UNLESS you have a fixed power setting.

@KMFKAlex 4 года назад

I can see how this will help you hit the mark every time when you use power. But what happens the day when the engine is out and you do not have power to adjust the glide slope? I have been thought to always train on a idle power landing from minimum base/final, preferably downwind, and the argument is that it prepares me to land with an engine failure. What are your thought? Note that I fly light aircrafts (makes 600kg MTOW)

@jasonrwilkinson9216 4 года назад

Sorry Stef but what were you doing before? I've always got the aircraft configured on downwind/base and final and flown it 'by the numbers' and ensured it was trimmed so it virtually flies itself on.
