| Private Pilot Landings | How To Land | Cessna 172 

Money 💰 ... I then tell my students let’s see that again and it always goes to 💩. Lol

@@NEROAviation some time it does

Yes i was too waiting for the landing jerk.....but his experience tricked us🤣🤣🤣

Yea that first landing was nice!

I know right there was no bumps or anything

That is how everyone should be taught, land with power. I have Been preaching that for ever.

One shall not flare with his pitch, but with his throttle.

Bro they been teaching me wrong I knew to land with power sometime 1500 rpm not enough

Makes it easy when I have great students!

Yeah, it's brilliant hearing them always chatting about where they could land if need be at the start. Really important to think about that in winds. Also good that the student is thinking about how the pattern flying of otehr planes is affecting his decision making and the possible consequences.

@@NEROAviation .....How can I become your student?

@@urbancommute5239 I have the same question. I'm in Spokane, WA

Thanks! He was an easy student! Almost always a student saying what their doing instantly improves their flying.

It was neat to see him do his own radio calls too - was this his first time doing landings? The first time I did landings it was all I could do to concentrate on the flying part.

Yep! A lot of accidents happen after the plane touches down, stay frosty!

That's how I was taught too. Idle once the runway is made.

Idle once runway is made works fine... power is a tool you can use to land it’s not one you have to use. I teach short field landing technique In the next stage. These are just normal landings and I encourage minimal breaking and using aerodynamic breaking and energy management to exit at the midfield taxiway as it lessens wear and tear on the aircrafts tires/breaks. Thanks for watching ! I’ll try to get a short field / soft field video up at some point.

after he learns what is it to land, then he can try yours, which is more efficient/safe, but hard to learn.

Seems like keeping some power in was a good move, considering the gusts that day....

Christopher Michaelson a little power during gusts for sure but they had way to much. Gusty day or not no reason to float halfway down the runway

Fly more! You’ll be confident in no time ...then make sure your not overconfident (which is maybe more dangerous). Pretty much all I do is spout out what the Airplane Flying Handbook says while the student does all the work. Thanks for watching and for the compliment!

Well. Good. For You.... ;) haha jk seriously that’s awesome! I really really want to fly :( But Covid and having a Child makes it next to impossible to afford my PPL

Thanks !!!

Thanks ! I get quieter the more the student talks. The less I talk the happier everyone is lol. I still talk myself through the checklist as I fly around solo. Thanks for watching and the great comment !

eclipser2004 , Thank you ! Flying in Newfoundland has to be fun and challenging!

Sweet ! Have fun ! It’s one of my favorite parts of instructing.... although the pattern can get pretty repetitive after the third student of the day, lol. Good luck !

How was the 3rd lesson?

Smart move and glad you did not waste your time/$$$ with him after the second lesson. Hopefully you have your license now.

lordquiles2, he is a super solid pilot and is now working on his instrument rating.

Tyrease Phillips! Cool sounds like your well on your way! I’ll be back instructing for the fall quarter so I’ll see you around! Maybe even get a few flights with you!

How did it go? I'm in the beginning of my lessons and I love it.

Notinserviceij , I learned in a Piper warrior and it’s not all that different. Make sure to at least pretend to use rudder in the piper it hardly needs any and can really show up when you transition to other aircraft. Good luck and blue sky’s !

@@NEROAviation Thats awesome! haha I'll keep that in mind. X-Plane 11 may come in handy after all. Thanks for the advice, I'm sure I'll be back for more advice and to watch more of your content over my journey. May even upload my own. Thanks again :)

Thanks !!!

Thanks ! Will do ! I just recorded 200 gigs of new video! now I just have to edit it 😭.

Steen Pedersen, throttle is a tool just don’t put your self in a position that you need throttle for a safe landing otherwise it’s worth experimenting with a bit. Thanks for Watching !

Thank you Tony !

Thank you !

Great job! It’s not as easy as riding a bike but it comes back pretty quick! I really like reading the airplane flying handbook it’s free to download and every time I read it I learn something! The section on landings is really well written and the landing errors section is helpful. A little power can help smooth out those landings. In a Cessna 172n I like 1100 rpm on landing. Also use trim! I have been getting beat up in the Beaver for not using trim. “If you let go of the controls nothing should change “ “let the plane do the flying”. I always liked flying they plane so I was not using much trim and I regret it now that I’m trying to fly commercially. “Jim Howard beaver gold” has some great videos on RU-vid...

Pretty sweet to watch students put it all together and figure out landing! Pre solo is one of my favorite parts of instructing.

Yeah we just push carb heat forward on the go around. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching ! Power is just an extra tool to use ... if your floating down the runway smoothly bring it out as you add back pressure. You’ll find the sweet spot between too much and too little power I just soloed the student from the video and he did a great. job!

Thanks! Trying to make my flying “clean” is how I improve my own flying. “Clean flying” is a great description for what we are trying to achieve... I might have to borrow that. Thanks again !

Flying is easy I think everyone should try at least once ! We do need passengers though, so thank you!

If I can do it, anyone can do it

T P K , flying is not cheap but it's worth it ! Depending on where you live you might check out the Civil Air Patrol it can be a cheap way to get a few hours.

When it comes to carb heat I default to whatever the POH says. Cessna did a nice job of putting the carb heat in an easy to reach position for the go around. A GUMPS check isn’t a bad idea to get in the habit of using. I use the before landing checklist when returning to the pattern and I teach a T check but I don’t require students to use it for pattern work. Thanks for the suggestions / observations. I like the idea of incorporating the GUMPS check in Private Pilot training

I learned from a military instructor. He pushed both me and the plane to the limits. He would argue with ATC when needed and had a great attitude towards flying. His attitude was "im the one in the pilot seat, not ATC" if they ask you to do something that is beyond you or the planes capabilities just say "UNABLE" and let them figure out what to do. Yet when flying into a VERY busy airport in NY, we were just about over the numbers, the ATC told us to keep speed up as we had a A320 eating our rudder. He said if we could take a different runway or go around that would be better. He told ATC he would take another runway to land, stood on the rudder, and turned almost 90° to land on another runway. (winds were calm) I thought the wingtips were gonna eat dirt. The tower thanked him and immediately cleared the A320 to land. During flying he would pull the engine to idle and say "engine quit, what do you do?" If I said "ahhh" he would interrupt me and yell "Your dead! Never think! Just DO, during an emergency. Aviate, navigate, and communicate in that order" We would constantly review emergency procedures water landings, mountain landings, highway landings etc. I was always prepared for an emergency if various types. Once i took off a d i heard a loud bang followed by tremendous noise and clanging from the engine. He was in the right seat and told me "tell the tower we are coming back, I got the plane" I suggested to shut off the engine for fear of fire of it blowing up. He yelled at me "Never shut the engine off unless its on fire or peices are flying off it" when we landed CFR came out to meet us, followed us to the ramp, we shut down and a mechanic investigated and discovered the exhaust manifold gasket blew out causing the bang and loud noise. The clanging was the manifild rattling. It was scary

Yeah military trains hard and fast it’s amazing how few hours some of their pilots have! I can’t imagine being that driven and squared away when I was in my 20s ... much less now.

Ripcord! Thanks for watching ! Time building is the sad truth of flight instruction. It’s the blind leading the blind a lot of times. On a positive note there are lots of great instructors out there you just have to search a bit sometimes. When your a instructor you can go out of your way to make sure your students have a better experience.

@@NEROAviation my instructor was in his 40s not a kid. I remember with 3 hours under my belt I was coming in for a landing and I was all ovee the sky. We were about 100' off the deck and I said "you take it, i cant land this" he sat there with his arms folded and said "you better land it, or we're going to die". He was very calm and cool

Thanks for watching! All pretty common issues ... I think we have all fought threw the same stuff!

I like KPLU but dang it’s busy ! It’s the Wild West our here!

Yeah I wish the school let us practice on some tougher runways occasionally... but they are all about risk mitigation ( rightly so ). We have a few runways around that would make you feel right at home 1800ft , grass and even trees 🌲.

I teach to trim “as needed” ...I show them they can but let each student decide how much they want to use it . The pressure on the yoke is not all that different than level flight once you have full flaps and power at about 1100 rpm on final approach in a 172. Trim is a great tool and I use it more in other aircraft. Thanks for watching and the great question ! I don’t use trim enough ...good catch.

Why are some pilots so eager to trim? Especially Cherokee pilots with the overhead handle....Geez. Trim for straight and level cruise flight and then use the yolk as God intended for everything else. Is the extra pressure on the yolk so bothersome? I just don't get it.

Liked your multi video !

@@vanramble6126 Why thank u. will be uploading again soon

The black control to the left of the throttle is the carburetor heat... this is an older carbureted Cessna. Any time you reduce power to below the green arc it’s suggested you use carburetor heat.

@@NEROAviation Thanks for the reply.

Well, it can also depend on your learning style, age, etc. I'm an auditory learner and a bit older than most who start flying, so I like the chatter myself, but I can see for others it may be too much. Also, fwiw, I've watched a bunch of videos for people practicing landings and this seems normal? ::shrugs::

I find that beginning students have better landings if they aren’t worried/thinking about the takeoff. Try watching at your local airport... I’m guessing you might see crappy landing then a crappy takeoff over and over again. Most of the good landings are full stop it seems like ( if you see any lol). Thanks for watching!

I just started learning landings and at a smaller airport like the one shown, or Enumclaw, if there is not a long wait, then for me personally at least I prefer it as it it just more reps in terms of getting the aircraft configured after landing, which lights I have to change, taxing practice, radio calls, and yet more practice for my takeoffs and learning the pattern. My $.02 anyway, YMMV.
