By popular request, Courtney demonstrates a few common-to-ultralight-and-Light-Sport pilots. See close up of foot work and hand controls.
Note: A LEGAL ultralight is limited to 1 seat and requires no pilot certificate to fly. A 2-seat "ultralight" is, in fact, a Light Sport Airplane and requires a pilot certificate to fly. There is no such thing as a "legal 2-seat ultralight."
Courtney is an FAA-certified Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI).

Thanks for the videos. The perspective you give is unique. The clear view of you working the controls and seeing the aircraft respond is very helpful when learning to fly .

You're welcome.

In my experience with landing Quicksilver Sport 2 aircraft, you actually don't need to idle the engine after round-out. I still remember telling my instructor you have to idle to land, and he had me get on a stable final at 4000 rpm. We kept that RPM all the way to the round-out and landed just fine slightly above stall speed at 4000 RPM. I was quite surprised! Of course, you use more runway doing this.

I'm thinking that practicing the maneuver of flying down the runway at a level of one foot off the ground will help in developing my landing skill. To do this one would fly down to the one-foot level and add power to stay at that level. As long as there is a good flying speed I can adjust the height up and down to be at the one-foot level. When flying at that level power would be backed off to set down. I could fly level one foot off the runway at any speed from 45 to 60 and then land since in an ultralight speed decays so quickly. If I let the wheels kiss the ground with too much speed that's okay, I would just continue to reduce power. That's not a stabilized approach because near the ground one has to add power to level off.

Yes, any kind of practicing like this will develop your piloting skills!

I agree, this is one of the 3 landing approach procedures I recommend for Quicksilver MX types. 1) a stabilized approach, 2) your fly down to the runway then pull back the power and 3) for more experienced pilots a energy managed non stabilized approach that allows for really short landing rollout. The slower MX Ultralight can do a full stop landing on less than 50' of grass. The low mass and high drag of these planes allow really short landings and require an understanding of the difference from Cessna or Piper GA type aircraft.

@@chuckinwyoming8526 Reference #2 I talked about flying down to the runway and flying just above the ground level which necessitates adding power. One is only 12 inches off the ground flying level just like one has been doing at higher altitudes, then start the landing, it would eliminate hard landings because one would be lower than that if you happen to slow down too much and flop down the last six inches. Reference #3: I can't figure what that means in making a shorter landing. Why a non-speed stabilized approach to land shorter?

@@Uri1000x1 Doug, I didn't elaborate on the energy managed landing here, I don't want anyone trying it unless they have the knowledge and skill to do it. This isn't the place to discuss it. Flying cruse speed 6 to 12" down in ground effect and managing slow flight there is really great skill builder for any pilot and a great way to "grease" your landings! A great way for single seat landings training and for pilot transition instruction in Ultralights when you can't practice the stabilized approach with an instructor in the right seat beside you.
