STOL Pilot Training with Brad Lund  

Hi Folks!
This is a 20 minute video of some STOL pilot training with my new friend Brad Lund and his new #CubCrafters FX3.
Brad wanted to some #STOL #pilottraining and some off-airport training. We have been trying to connect for sometime now and everything lined up for us to get together and work on the basics. As you hear me say often, yes I'm a broken record about it, but Power and energy management is key to become a safe backcountry pilot. For that matter, a safer pilot period. Slow flight is key to becoming a good pilot in all regards in my own opinion.
Here you will see us go through all sorts of various scenarios starting with the very basics of just seeing how he does with a spot landing, his roll out length after touchdown, his directional control etc. Having never flown with Brad previously, we go to some very simple spots to assess where we are and work from there. You will see Brad goes from a very fast approach and long (500' plus roll outs) to slow and stable with 250' or less rollouts in high density altitudes. His progression over a 5-6 hour training session is just incredible and I am certain you will agree.
Sit back and do your own assessment on this training, his technique from start to finish and let us know what you think. Obviously there is so much more that goes into all of this behind the scene but I try to capture the basic info here for you.
Brad is a pilot that spends a lot of time in his jet. The smaller Carbon Cub is new to him and he is getting better with each landing in this video.
I hope you enjoy it. Please leave us a comment, hit the button for notifications and if your like or did not like this video hit the buttons! Subscribing to my channel helps me out as well.
