Join me while I fly a stock 1963 Musketeer into a 1900 ft runway with obstacles.
The Musketeer doesn't have the best reputation for performance but if you follow the POH and fly the numbers it is still a very capable aircraft. Vorticity generators greatly improved take-off and landing performance but even without the aircraft is capable of some more challenging runways.

Fun video. The approach looked so close to the trees. I bet if you try an identical approach with an additional year of vegetation growth, you're going to be trimming treetops!

@fastbackflying853 3 года назад

You might be right about that. Lol.

@sammarmon3965 2 года назад

Dang, you probably cleared one of those trees by 3'. I saw you fixated on that one particularly close tree as you came in. I suppose that brushing a treetop with a wing isn't likely to cause a crash, but if it had caught your gear as you whipped by.... VGs aren't that much money right?

Im a Former Bush Pilot CFI. Good 3 feet Flap Cut Trick you did on landing. You can add some more flaps on take off too for Vx climb. I also use Vx flaps to taxi on grass (Taxi Flaps)

I believe you forgot to do your gear check! I'm never going to let that go.... ha ha. Well done buddy. Love the videos

Trees looked close boss.

Nice flying, as always. I’ve flown my Musketeer off grass but Hope CYHE is a lot longer runway... 🙂

Great video. Love seeing you coming into/out of this field with a variety of aircraft.

@fastbackflying853 3 года назад

It's a really good test of an airplane.

172 looks familiar. Nice.

@fastbackflying853 3 года назад

It's a nice looking 172. I bet the owner is very proud.

@@fastbackflying853 Great video. Enjoyed.

@bryanaveri6816 2 года назад

Good Vid, I have a 76 Sport and can not even imagine landing with full flaps. The wings create too much lift on their own.

@fastbackflying853 2 года назад

It really can float with the full flaps on. Another 1963 I have flown has the vorticity generators on the wings and it handles completely different. It's more like landing a 172 and it can be done much slower. At least 10 mph.

@rp896 2 года назад

Full flaps on approach will get you much lower than 80mph and you will not float.

@fastbackflying853 2 года назад

If you have VGs on the airplane it will approach and land nicely below 80mph. I have full flaps for this approach and maintained 80mph. Coming in slower causes nasty pitch and landing issues with the stock airplane.

@scotabot7826 2 года назад

No need to come that close to those trees at the end of the runway with that much runway to land. You even glanced over real quick yourself, of course you couldn't have done anything at that point. 1900 is plenty for that airplane. Fly Safe!

@fastbackflying853 2 года назад

1900ft can go very quickly and due to obstacles and orientation of the runway there are some very strange winds that can push you alot further than you expect. Safety is always a priority and additional caution and perhaps a precautionary is required when visiting a new runway. This runway is a place I have gone hundreds of times in many airplanes over the years and I felt very comfortable with my approach.
