Watch out for Trees when Landing Orcas Island Airport 

..."These damn Treetops are HIGH"!!! uhmm... maybe I would say: I'm f* to LOW. :) Thanks for sharing.

Next time, instead of flat "dragging it in..airliner" approach, try a steeper approach at a lower speed, drop it in with a forward slip, bleeding the energy off in the slip, full stall on the numbers. On your approach, if you lost power at the shoreline you'd be in the trees, then the hospital. My commercial instructor would have me fly very tight close in patterns so as to be able to land if power lost any point in downwind leg. He had me go abeam the numbers, cut power and make me a deadstick landing. Get real good at energy management and airports like Orcas won't be a problem.

The perils of "dragging it in."

This place is definently on my list to land at when I'm older and have a pilots license.

The Airport and facility directory says the PAPI has a 4 degree glidepath, and there is a displaced threshold. The PAPI would likely guide you to a longer touchdown. You touched down before the numbers with what looked like a very shallow and low final. Dragging it in like that with 2900 feet of runway is not recommended; you may consider yourself fortunate not to have fir needles in the wheel wells.

Thanks for posting. Be glad your family goes with you!Flying is always a learning experience if you keep and open mind.

LOL @ Ungrateful Passengers! Good Stuff!!

- thanks for the video.. looks like a good airport to land-long... Crest Airpark has a few trees that seem to want to reach out and grab you as well (same- RWY 34 :) safe Flights..

Great video brother! I love how the landing knocked the color back into the video... LOL

That was a tad low.

Hahaha they can land themselves next time!
