Thanks for taking us along, Alicia!

Lucky for me, the wind very much obliges by changing to provide “great conditions for learning” most times I’m out! But seriously, Alicia’s running explanations made this a really useful video!

Always fun to fly and learn from a knowledgable instructor…! Go Alicia!

@stubby4317 Год назад

"It'll be fun" she said. Quoting my CFI on a windy day. Still learning, a couple of years later.

Great job….student pilot here! Greetings from KOKC

@erniekelly2479 Год назад

Nice. Very good narrative throughout the exercise. We all need more crosswind practice.

@greglong1492 Год назад

Great video. I would love to see more of them.

@edcew8236 Год назад

Would love to see what AOA would have indicated in the gusts, and if would have even been usable...

@jimallen8186 Год назад

Would have thought to have some discussion as to Why less flaps for gusts (and for that matter, with crosswinds). Also would have expected discussion of crab and kick out in one pass and side slip in the other pass. Nice hitting the concern for an overshooting approach, however.

@buddha65281 Год назад

Halfway on strut as long as you are at TPE (Traffic Pattern Elevation) correct? I am an avid enthusiast but due to current ME cannot obtain AC/PPL. Thank you for entertaining us, love flying so much...

@150pilot Год назад

Great video with awesome information! Just curious, what were the wind conditions?

@KateProctor-oe1rw Год назад

Alicia made a common error, I think. On final, with the tail cam, you could see her tipping left aileron and then taking out the aileron. The plane would drift to the right, and she would re-add left aileron. MUCH better would be to add a smaller amount, the correct amount, of left aileron and leave it in right to the end. Then either kick it out, or land with the upwind wheel depending on technique. But in and out with the left aileron is mistake...

@jimallen8186 Год назад

Generally I’d agree were this strictly crosswind but what about the gusts? Could it be aileron in and out attempting to match the gusts?

@KateProctor-oe1rw Год назад

@@jimallen8186 , Great points, Jim! There were many comments about the wind from the left. Without having been there, I would have thought there would be at least some left aileron the entire time. And on the second landing, there IS almost constant left aileron all the way to landing. And sill the landing was left of center line. If you are going to do wing low and not crab for a cross wind, the wing should be at least a bit low all the way to the upwind landing gear touching first. Well, so I think... 🙂

@jimallen8186 Год назад

@@KateProctor-oe1rw I commented elsewhere in this video, agree she could probably have discussed the crosswind aspect better while perhaps showing a crab and kick out on one pass with a side slip on the other and discussed landing upwind wheel first. I’d have to watch again, was off center with drift or just off center? Meaning was she blown before or during landing? Though, yes, peeps do have tendencies to let off the AOB in round out. And that is a problem to address.

@rv-ation9603 Год назад

Generally good video, but on your second approach you're operating with the flaps extended outside the white arc, way too fast! Don't be a test pilot!

@pacadet Год назад

For the 172R and S, it's 110 kts for the first 10 degrees of flaps. Under 85 (as indicated by the white arc) for 20 and full flaps.

@v1rotate391 Год назад

Too fast, not on the centerline twice. Need more practice. Too much teaching going on; info overload for a student pilot.

@susansticazsky9787 Год назад

Way too fast way too flat. Try that with a Mooney. You will be able to that. Just once. 😂

@npearson9865 Год назад

Half way up the strut in a crosswind doesn’t necessarily put you within a comfortable gliding distance of the airport. Upwind from the airport may put you too close - leading to a tight turn to final. Downwind from the airport could put you short of the airport. In either case, stall/spin exposure increases.
