Thanks for the hard work! In the early 80's I trained in a Tomahawk that we kept at a farmer's grass field a couple of miles from home, and after I was OK'd I'd hop it 10 miles to the county airport for lessons. The farmer had a Skymaster. What a beautiful machine. This one isn't the slickest with the cargo pod and the radar, but dang-it it looks pretty capable.
Great utilization of that machine and awesome piloting as always tom, you get the job done and these videos are proof in the pudding. Audio and music is also top notch.Great stuff man!!
5:44 Nice Tom! Brings back memories of when I would fly to Ottawa for work! But it took me 2.25hrs in my little Cherokee. But it was great to go up and back the same day. Nice video!
@@tomairtv I think we were all taught that, but there are so many negatives to selecting it at such a late stage in the approach; re-trimming for the new flap setting, re-capturing a descent profile after the ‘balloon’ from the new flap setting. In fact, in any single, the traffic pattern should be flown so that we can make the field at any point. Below about 500 feet, the aircraft should be in the landing configuration, at about the right speed and on the right profile. In 42 years of flying, I’ve never seen that technique.

Great video Tom, 👍. I was just in Brantford today, had to get pieces parts at the pilot “candy” store 😊
Great work
that was really cool
Question: why would you select final landing flap at about 100 ft? Surely that’s not the Cessna way…
I was taught to select flaps 3 when the field is guaranteed to be made.
