11/11 - it made my stomach jump when you turned final - because in my plane I would have been in the swamp. Sooo much fun to practice power off 180's - even more fun to aim for precision point on the runway!
11/11. One more thing to remember. When are our brains overfull and we start losing stuff we were supposed to remember? Jason, thanks for making these happen. Glad to be in the air again.
Essentially, you can feel when you start to become overwhelmed. The key thing to remember when studying is that we’re studying to understand the topic, not check off boxes or knowledge areas. Once you start the study session you may feel motivated and find yourself really understanding what’s being said… And then as you go along there’s a point that you reach in which you start to wander off, or have to replay the video again because you’re spacing out, essentially any time you find yourself unfocused you should take a break…preferably by means of a type of meditation of some sort. Everybody is different and some can study for longer periods and all of this is determined by your focus period tolerance that you can build up over time. (Oh another thing a key factor ive found to be true, don’t look at any subject and say oh god this is hard, it’s not hard. Actually what happens is you put stress on yourself with that topic and then it becomes hard to STUDY it because stress takes up space of where normal brain function would’ve been. Remember all study topics are just information that you haven’t learned, none is really hard to understand.)
Thank You! Am almost getting my PPL soon! Love your videos and always learn a lot God Bless You Jason! And Your wonderful family!! #THANK YOU JESUS!! #FUTURE COMMERCIAL PILOT!! #GOD’S PLAN!! #PILOT LIFE!!🙏🏽👨🏽✈️✈️🥳
11/11: as a Glider CFI, this is my favorite maneuver to teach my airplane students. Rather than waiting an arbitrary 10 seconds to turn base, I teach them to use aim point drift in the vertical axis. Basically, when the aim point starts going up in the rear window. It’s time to turn base. while on the base, use the same aim point drift method to determine whether to go direct to the numbers or square the turn base to final. It works reliably. It’s how sailplane pilots fly their traffic patterns patterns.
11/11, every aircraft has a different method. In the 172S I tell my students immediately go flaps 10 and wait for a few seconds. Then always glide down a little high and fast (70-75) until final, then use the rest of flaps and slip if needed. Also the beginning of the 2nd or 1st stripe are excellent points
one of my biggest struggles was training on 3000’ fields with an instructor who (trying to save time/money) wanted every landing to be a touch and go… insisted on hitting the numbers… forced a lot of bad approaches and developed several bad habits …. the runways are long for a reason…
11 of 11 - I appreciate my instructor for introducing this maneuver to me. The first time I tried a Power Off 180 I turned toward my landing point too quickly. This is one of many scenarios where there is no substitute for experience. Practice, practice, practice. Fortunately, subsequent attempts went much smoother.
11 of 11. Last month I decided since I hadn't practiced emergencies in a long time, I grabbed an instructor and went and practiced them. This was a CFI that I hadn't flown with before and he was giving me scenarios that were very different than when I was in training. The power off 180 was one of the ones that we practed. We had a lot of fun.
11 for 11, the one maneuver that glider pilots do very well is the power off 180... we are always power off! The Glider checkride also includes landing on a defined "500' runway" and stopping within 200' of the far end for private glider and within 100' of the far in for the commercial glider rating. Precision! When you are trained to do this in a glider, doing it in airplane is trivial! :-) Jer/ Eberhard, teaching airplanes and gliders on the Colorado Front Range and Mountains.
11 for 11. For me I’ve found in the DA40, pulling power abeam my point and getting the plane to Vg and then turning towards the runway works out pretty good. Definitely have to keep the practice up on this maneuver for sure.
I’ve found that when it’s a super windy day, I can make my point on the power off 99% of the time. On a dead calm day (which is rare out here) I struggle to make the aiming point! I’m used to correcting for windy conditions so it’s important to practice on different days. I love this maneuver; it’s my favorite for sure!
11 for 11. I got my airman's certificate before my car driver's licence in the early 80's. I am unfamiliar with this skill name. I was certainly taught and of course practiced it but I'm not sure it had a name. Maybe it's been called that forever, but I certainly didn't remember anything called that. I love watching Jason's stuff, and I completely buy in to the sentiment of '...a good pilot is always learning...". I learned something today and I've been flying for decades.
Good job again Jason. By experience I found that losing an engine can happen so quickly and unexpected. In that real moment when I lost the engine North of Tampa in a Cherokee 180, shortly after getting my PPL the training kicked in. I remember going through the procedures: Fly the plane, airspeed, landing point (X39), get lined up, land. And just like in the video today when I was finally lined up on approach for RWY 14 I was high and fast. I remember saying I am high and fast and there is no go around. In the end I had a good landing with no power. No damage to the plane and after the replacement of the #4 cylinder and pistion the airplane was flyable again.
11 for 11, Your right on a PA28 If I cut the power abeam the numbers I have to turn and go directly to the runway to make it but on the PA16 not so much, It has a much better guide ratio. Thanks Jason, These videos are making me practice things I don't normally practice and should be.
11 for 11. My grandfather was my instructor and this is how I was initially taught. Pattern work came after he was confident I could hit a spot without an engine every single time.
11 - 11 and I can’t count the times I’ve done this maneuver in my PPL training. I actually love performing this one. Such a fun exercise in energy management.
11/11 I did my commercial training in an RV-12 and PO 180s were so difficult because the plane wanted to float so much. Switched to the 172 for CFI and it was soooo much easier!
I was initially taught a very wide airliner type pattern but my latest BFR was corrected to a tight pattern. Much safer in an engine out scenario. I’m learning but it’s taking a bit of an adjustment period.
I just happen to catch it on the first day and now I’m three out of 11 on the day of each VIDEO and I have some catching up to do. Thanks so much for these videos.
11 for 11, thank you much Jason! I like your technique of counting the seconds before turning base. I imagine this would be adjusted for different wind speeds? Learning a lot from this series. Thanks again.
11 for 11. I’ve done a bunch of these over the past several months as I took my commercial checkride last summer. In my 172M with 40 degrees of flaps, it is a fun maneuver. Just make sure you are a little high and fast and when those last 10 degrees of flaps go in from 30 to 40 degrees, you are coming down. If a little short, milk the last bit of energy in ground effect to make the point. Lots of fun!!
11 out of 11! I LOVE power off 180s. It is a true feel the aircraft moment and bending physics to your will. 😊 It's a great challenge that's feels accomplishing. Big difference in the high wings vs the low wings. Thanks Jason!
11 for 11 and did this on my last flight with my instructor from the RIGHT seat as I look to transition to CFI work now... interesting perspective. Great stuff!!!
Just found this channel yesterday, and got all caught up on the challenge… now 11/11!! PPL checkride is in a month.
Let's GOO!!!
Good luck to you!! 😁🛫
Good luck
I’m glad you have found the best aviation videos on TH-cam !!! 💯💯💯
11 for 11 I'm enjoying these. I fly gliders but looking forward to getting back into powered flight this spring!
11/11 - it made my stomach jump when you turned final - because in my plane I would have been in the swamp. Sooo much fun to practice power off 180's - even more fun to aim for precision point on the runway!
11/11. My instructor frequently had me do these. I actually enjoyed them. I always wanted to take glider lessons, but never did.
11/11. One more thing to remember. When are our brains overfull and we start losing stuff we were supposed to remember? Jason, thanks for making these happen. Glad to be in the air again.

Yep, set trim for airspeed, and after that the intended touchdown point gives you all the information you need.
11 for 11 here. Great video. Thank you Jason.
11 for 11! great videos, thanks!
I can still hear an instructor friend of mine saying 'do not land do not land do not land...OK, you can land' :) Eleven for eleven.
11/11, every aircraft has a different method. In the 172S I tell my students immediately go flaps 10 and wait for a few seconds.

11 for 11! Enjoying the safety videos! Have not been in the air and looking to get back flying again! Again enjoy your videos!
11 for 11. Always enjoy the multiple factors for a poweroff 180, from wind, to aircraft, CS or fixed prop...good skills to keep sharp.
11 for 11!

After hundreds of landings in hang gliders, doing power of 180 in airplanes is a cheat code. You have flaps and slip? Cake.

10 for 11 🥲, will catch up...great stuff Jason. I fly an Sr22 , inst rated and over 1000hrs and I learn something every time I see you stuff...thanks
11 for 11, great stuff MzeroA!
11 for 11! Keep up the good work Jason!
11 for 11! Another great video with great advice.
11 for 11 - awesome power-off 180 tutorial!
11 for 11. Well done Jason!
11 for 11! Adding this maneuver to my list to go out and practice with my CFI!
11 for 11. Another thing to keep in mind as I learn. Thanks for your videos.
11/11…..great to see this maneuver…practiced this several times with my instructor during my annual refresher….great one!!👍
11 for 11.

Looking forward to this!
Thank you!

11 for 11. I land power off 180 almost all the time. Great video again! Evan
11 for 11 Always something new Keep it up Thanks.

11 for 11! Roger That !! That Jason
11 for 11! Great video Jason, thanks for making it! I will make sure to practice this ASAP.
11 for 11. Jason makes it look easy.
Commenting first thing this time. 11 for 11. Great video!
11 for 11. Great video indeed!!
11 for 11. Another great informative video
11 for 11
11 for 11 Keep them coming, getting caught up
Another great lesson at Marco!
11/11. I think still to this day one of the best power-off 180s I’ve done was on my commercial pilot checkride 😂
Former mil rotor guy here. Thanks for all the videos! They’ve really help me grasp the stuck wing flying 😎
11 for 11. This is great info as always. Have my PPL checkride at the end of the month🤞🏽
11for11 great work Jason
11 for 11. My grandfather was my instructor and this is how I was initially taught. Pattern work came after he was confident I could hit a spot without an engine every single time.
Made it to the 11/11 every video shows some light on my path. Thanks !!!
11 of 11. Well done!
Nice job!
One of my favorite Airports to fly into while visiting Florida.
11/11. I used to be scared of doing those and now that I do them often I feel a lot more comfortable exactly as you say.
11 - 11 and I can’t count the times I’ve done this maneuver in my PPL training. I actually love performing this one. Such a fun exercise in energy management.
11/11! Nice demonstration.
11 of 11 enjoying these videos!
11/11 I did my commercial training in an RV-12 and PO 180s were so difficult because the plane wanted to float so much. Switched to the 172 for CFI and it was soooo much easier!
Got my PPL back in June. Only flown 3 times since then. Man what I’d do to be back in the air. Enjoy it.
11 for 11. Power off 180 was essentially the way I was taught for my approaches but I did not really know it at the time.
I was initially taught a very wide airliner type pattern but my latest BFR was corrected to a tight pattern. Much safer in an engine out scenario. I’m learning but it’s taking a bit of an adjustment period.
11 for 11, Jason!
Motivation to add those to the rotation!
11 of 11. Thanks for the reviews.
Power off 180 is the only way I was taught to land :)
11 for 11 Thank you!
Thank you Jason
11 for 11. I learned in the 172, and out of everything I’ve flown, it still has some of the best glide characteristics. Great video as always!
I just happen to catch it on the first day and now I’m three out of 11 on the day of each VIDEO and I have some catching up to do. Thanks so much for these videos.
11 for 11, thank you much Jason! I like your technique of counting the seconds before turning base. I imagine this would be adjusted for different wind speeds? Learning a lot from this series. Thanks again.
wow very interesting experience friend
Another great video thanks.
11/11 Love practicing this maneuver
11-4-11 great videos full of useful information
11/11 love glide approaches
11/11. Thanks, Jason.
11 of 11! Going to get with an instructor and practice power off 180’s.
11/11...great explanation Jason

If a little short, milk the last bit of energy in ground effect to make the point. Lots of fun!!
11 for 11. Used it in real life during my emergency landing. Important to know!
Thank you.
11 of 11. I want to try this. What a great way to learn power management.
11 out of 11! I LOVE power off 180s. It is a true feel the aircraft moment and bending physics to your will. 😊 It's a great challenge that's feels accomplishing. Big difference in the high wings vs the low wings. Thanks Jason!
11 of 11. Very close to the circuit landing approach I was taught, pitch for airspeed, power for altitude, although in this one you leave power out.
11 for 11 I’m going to ask my CFI to teach me a Power Off 180. Thank you Jason for all of your great Teachings
11 of 11!
11 for 11 👍🏽
11 for 11…..thanks Jason: another item on the list to practice.
11 for 11 in 2024!
11/11!! Safe flying everyone! 😌🛫
11/11. Learning something everyday. 😊
Very nice!
11 for 11. Power off 180’s have been some of the most exciting/scary/revealing exercises in my flight training.
11/11. Awesome content
11 for 11 and did this on my last flight with my instructor from the RIGHT seat as I look to transition to CFI work now... interesting perspective. Great stuff!!!
11/11- and one of these on my PPl check ride- and had only done one ever in training- nailed it but wish I had more practice.
11-11. Still loving every minute of it.
11/11 great practice at pilot control airport!
