It was high time that I got into a plane on my own and practiced putting the aircraft on the ground in a manner which represented my standard. My proficiency slipped a little bit in landing on a point on the runway, which was bothering me. So I set out to fix it.

Hi Lew. Thanks very much for this video. As always, it was very entertaining and very informative at the same time. I just started working on my CFI flight training (about 5 hours into it )and I have been struggling with landing the plane from the right seat. Im finding myself off center-line to the right and landing on the right main wheel. Base to final... always overshooting the runway. Any suggestion/ tip would really be appreciated. also, what is the name of the mount you are using to record the instrument view ( the camera mounted between the over head lights). Thanks a lot bro. really appreciate your time.

I really enjoyed your flying lesson this morning. Your "need to correct" is a sign of a good pilot. Not that I have(had...it's been a while) your experience but story reminded me of a landing I had with my instructor when going on my Pre-1st-Cross Country...I BANGED THE LANDING. All my other landings were sweet...ya didn't even know I touch the ground. I was excited to be making this flight, what's not to love. KHZL is 5001' x 100 ft, it's a "living room" when compared to my home base of KFWN - 3506' x 75 ft.. Looking back now, there isn't that much of a difference. Anyway, my instructor knows I can land the plane sweet yet I BANGED it. When I asked, what did I do wrong? He said I based my flare on my view from the front windscreen. I was looking for when the runway fit a pre-scribed visual. I guess as you know, if you go from a 75' width runway to a 100' runway...YOU WILL FLARE EARLY. This is what caused the BANG. I slept in this and the next day I got in the plane and went to an uncontrolled airport with pretty much matching specs - KMGJ - and nailed my landings once again. Thanks for listening and I have one question, what application do you used for editing?

Did my first solo today. Verry exciting but on the final approach, I was notified that I should be expecting a go-around due to the plane that landed just in front of me went off the runway and went in circles. But besides that, my Solo was Amazing.

@Chrisovideos 3 года назад

Thanks for posting a video of what some pilots find mundane. As a 50 year old pilot of only 15 months and 180 hrs. I have religiously continued to do patterns (we call them circuits in here in Canada) at least every other week. Nearly 600 landings in 180 hrs. I intend to keep that 3-1 ratio going forever. I think of it like a golfer going to the driving range. My personal record is 12 in one outing. It's also good to mix it up by going to other airports to do patterns so you don't get used to just landing at your home airfield. Currently landed at 27 different airports. Piper owner by the way....

Really refreshing to see someone like-minded in the RU-vid aviation space.

I am struggling with my flying vlog for this week as I flew into a new strip which had tall trees and an 8m power line across the runway some distance in from the trees. Net result was a silent video but having seen this I will bite the bullet a do more in the way of an explanation voice over. Great stuff Lewis 😎 👍 👏 🇬🇧 Tim

@edjarrett3164 Год назад

I’m working on my instrument in a 172. My landings have become a bit inconsistent because of the long flights to knock out cross country flights. I checked out in the Archer a few months back and am trying to fly once biweekly to keep proficiency. Switching between mph and kias is also a challenge. Thankfully the numbers are very close. I want to get more experience in the Archer, so tend to fly with instructors. Next flight will be engine out landings. Totally understand and agree with your approach.

@deeanna8448 3 года назад

This one was really fun to watch! Nicely done. How often do pilots take off or land without talking to anyone? My instructor said it happens all the time at the uncontrolled airport where my flight school was. I miss flying. Had to stop because I’ve been busy with work during COVID and now I’m on medication that would prevent me from getting a license anyway. But man, I miss it. Maybe I’ll call up the flight school and see if I can take a “rediscovery flight”.

Any tips on landings? From watching you And Garett and you and him are so smooth. I am on lesson 4 for PPL (maybe early to think I should know how to do it all well yet) and having trouble with some movement when it gets say 50-80 feet AGL, just seems to wander on me from center line, usually to right, and having trouble with meshing with CFI on what I am not doing to keep it straight

@MikeBohlmann 3 года назад

I flew a PA28-180 (Hershey bar wings) for PPL, and my instructor didn't have me pull the power back to idle before touchdown. His thinking was that you already have a good descent rate with a good pitch, and completely cutting power in a larger plane could be a bad day. At most, I would slowly reduce power to keep from floating or ballooning but never completely to idle until the wheels were on the ground. With watching a number of other Cherokee pilots going to idle earlier, I tried to tweak my landings to reduce power substantially just before the numbers. This has resulted in less than non-gentle landings - nothing hard or anything that made me think I broke the plane, just not smooth. Any thoughts?

@acirinelli 3 года назад

I have the same issue in a 172. I’m a student still, but my first instructor had me going to idle once runway was made. I changed models (M to S) and in the S it drops like a brick when you do that and I was slamming it down due to the increased sink rate. My new instructor has me keeping power in (stabilized) until just before touchdown/crossing the threshold.

@LewDixAviation 3 года назад

It's all about airspeed control really. I find that if I'm coming over the runway at my approach speed, I can focus fully on the landing and not have to look at the airspeed again. Once I'm low enough I idle the throttle and hold the nose to where my eyes are looking at the end of the runway. The thing that strikes me about your instructors comment about the larger plane.... You're not flying a larger plane yet, you're flying a PA28-180 haha.. I actually use the same technique in the ATR. About 20 feet above the ground (it has callouts) as long as my speed is ok, I start bringing the power levers back to ground idle. It lands a lot flatter than GA planes so I don't bring the nose up to the end of the runway, but the rest of the technique is the same.

@MikeBohlmann 3 года назад

@@LewDixAviation It's been a while, but he may not have said bigger but rather other aircraft. For example, if you pull back to idle on the Kodiak I've been flying in X-plane, it will plant itself like a rock hitting mud.

@Anthonyoutsidethebox 5 месяцев назад

So I’ve got 65hrs and preparing for my check ride but seemed to have regressed on landings to the point I’m struggling hard. I either level off too soon or little too late and then often don’t pull back enough in the 172P to ensure I land on the mains. Any tips or ideas on how to get my landings back cause my instructor is at a loss and so am I lol 😬

@LewDixAviation 5 месяцев назад

Your instructor should be telling you to look at the end of the runway instead of right in front of the nose. You might find your landings get better by doing that.
