Courtney demonstrates a number of landings in her Quicksilver MXL-2 to help you get on your way! #quicksilver #ultralight #microlight
Note: A LEGAL ultralight is limited to 1 seat and requires no pilot certificate to fly. A 2-seat "ultralight" is, in fact, a Light Sport Airplane and requires a pilot certificate to fly. There is no such thing as a "legal 2-seat ultralight."
Courtney is an FAA-certified Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI).

Courtney is a helluva pilot. She ALWAYS keeps her speed up when near the ground. Do NOT make steep turns on climb out. She also doesn't fly in extreme wind conditions these planes don't weigh hardly anything they ain't hurricane hunter aircraft, folks! One only flies in "nice" weather.

I flew the MX right after Quicksilver introduced them. We would chase sheep, do hammer head stalls and generally have a good time. 19 at the time having a blast finding out how little space could put one of these into. Think I my best was short level spot about 50' long.

@commentatron
@commentatron Год назад
If you would please, a simple definition of the phrase that kept coming up: "a stabilized approach." Also, what's the glide ratio on the MXL-2, about 8:1 ? So , if you throttle back at about 1.5 miles (at 1,000 ft altitude, and without the slip), you'd expect to hit the threshold? Thanks, love the vids!
@CourtneyTakesFlight
@CourtneyTakesFlight Год назад
The glide ratio/distance varies depending on drag, headwinds and so on. As you start to descent, you're making judgement call right there for the angle/speed you need to hit that touchdown point for that particular landing. With practice you will easily use muscle memory to get the airplane in the right spot/angle/speed. From the FAA: A pilot is flying a stabilized approach when he or she establishes and maintains a constant angle glidepath towards a predetermined point on the landing runway. Every runway is unique, but a commonly referenced optimum glidepath follows the “3:1” principle.
@commentatron
@commentatron Год назад
@@CourtneyTakesFlight Is a 'non-stabilized approach' a marker that you've got something figured wrong (and should consider going around)?

@aeroplod
@aeroplod Месяц назад
​@@commentatronA stabilised approach is to be achieved on final or it isn't stabilised. Correct airspeed, descent rate, flap setting etc are as required. Otherwise it is not stabilised and the standard practice is go around. However in a light aircraft, turning sharply onto the runway is a good skill to perfect as an engine failure solution.

Hi Coutney - Great Vid 👌 I am a wannabee (maybe a Gonnabee) Maybe you can answer me, some questions If I sell my suburban house, I wanna move to the country side and buy a house with some farmland How long / short distance is required to land / take off in a UL One of the grassfields is 880 ft long and 225 ft wide - do you think this could work - for the distances ?
@CourtneyTakesFlight
@CourtneyTakesFlight 11 месяцев назад
Yes, you will have enough distance, but concern yourself with obstacles beyond your property. Are there tall trees? Powerlines? Buildings? Figure those in your plans.
@Lauritzzz
@Lauritzzz 11 месяцев назад
