Thanks for the video. you explain things very well, I always struggled with the pitch, power and its relationship to a consistent approach speed. It took a lot of hours to figure out that was my problem. I was fortunate enough to get a flight instructor who identified my problem and you explained it exactly the way he did and it saved me from giving up.
The Top Flight Training Videos of basic necessary pitch-power and important aircraft settings and control. Preserving both aircraft maintenance and performance plus improved pilot performance! Thank you very much for a valuable lesson ( really hours of lessons in one setting)!
Thank you for this video. While I have been flying for a long time, I certainly appreciate you demonstration and description of what you are doing. Very nicely explained.
I've got my Microsoft flight simulator on my Xbox two weeks ago and got very confused about those words about "trim", "flap" etc. I don't know what they are and what's the relationship between them. This video is by far the best one explaining those ideas.
Now all we need in flight simulators is that control wheel/stick force. I lost my medical a long time ago, and so am stuck to simulators. For the life of me, I try to remember how I set trim in a real aircraft, and the sim software doesn't behave exactly like I remember real airplanes doing. It's a bit frustrating sometimes.
Thank you for the video! This is the best video I'd ever seen to explain trim. Very clear view on the cockpit and very good explanation with operations.👍👍
I am a musician and always wanted to fly. I thank you so much for making this video so I can learn vicariously through you. I wish I was on this flight with you.
I was always taught to taxi with the controls held back, to take the weight off the nose wheel. I will have to watch it again as I found the radio nose annoying and hard to hear what you are saying. The constant speed propeller can be daunting to a newbie. Thank you for lesson.
When I used to fly my dad’s Cherokee Arrow, I never let the manifold pressure exceed the prop rpm; i.e., I reduced power to 24 inches first and then pulled the prop back to 2400 rpm. I did use the same method for trimming - apply pressure to the yoke to make an airspeed change and then trim the pressure off. If your arm is getting tired, you aren’t trimmed properly. The plane should always be trimmed to maintain a safe airspeed on its own..
Great video. I just went to get current in a 182 skyline but it’s a 260 horse carb model. Have not flown a 182 in long time. Under 550 hrs. I flew pretty good and made the worst few landings I’ve had since my first 5-8 hrs of flight training 😔. I am now afraid to land. I am in Goodyear AZ. I could use a good lesson or two from this CFI. I love flying but have “lost that lov’n feeling” just from a few not so good landings. Most of these CFI’s are young and not checked in a 182 and waiting on their airline jobs, so there’s no good CFI option. The plane is a rental from a facility that I know the owner of. Well maintained planes too. Please em mail. I want to get that feeling back again and not be afraid to land and maintain control and flying once on the roll out. Thanks.
Your video is very so good!!! Thanks for share your knowledge!!!! Helps a lot!!! Coukd you made some video like that on a short landing-obstacle technique? 🙏🏽
Thanks! This was really just my first attempt to see if I could even capture anything useful...so hopefully I can make some more and they wind up being helpful for someone!
after reducing power as you get in close but keeping in a little bit during the roundout and flare, do you pull it all the way out as you're about to settle on the mains? Also, 60kts approach seems really slow compared to the 75 I've been recommended for the 182 we fly. Is this because it's not a retractable RG? I know speeds are different many times for the same airplanes depending on configurations....
Thanks for sharing this very informative video. I'm just asking in all single aircraft available for private and family use do you recommend Cessna 182 and why please?
I have a cessna 182L 1968. I"m curious about your use of the prop control. I"m not sure which cfi told me to as soon as I am on the upwind to take her out of the red. I noticed you didn't for quite a while and then when you set to 2400 rpm you left it there. Again I'm curios cause my cfi told me to run square. Can you expand on that to why you didn't and if it's because of your training of this situation, and if you do change the prop control when in crews is running square the right thing to do. I enjoyed your video and enjoyed you explanation of the trim situation I can't wait to go up and try that. Thanks
I wondered about that too. I flew a Cherokee Arrow for a few years and I never ran it over-square. I'd pull the throttle back to 24 inches once I was at pattern altitude and then pull the prop back to 2400 rpm..
Did you add carb heat on your base. If no, why not? I just bought a Skylane here in Prescott and working on my ppl so I don't want to miss that critical step, assuming I should on every landing. Can you comment on that please. Thanks. Great video by the way. N3633U
This aircraft is modified with a more powerful, fuel injected engine so it doesn’t have carb heat! If yours has a carb, I still very much recommend using carb heat at partial throttle settings.
Are you the only runway for miles and miles? I don't hear the airport mentioned before and after the radio calls. Here in the Puget Sound airports are very close together.
The Canards are part of an STC’d modification performed by Peterson Performance in Kansas. The mod is available for 182 P and Q models only. The canards dramatically change the low speed performance of these planes and allows them to fly at a much lower angle of attack for a given airspeed, which results in drastically improved short field performance! Take off in 390’ and land in 300’!
Yes, mine is the 260SE The Karmai has the Wing-X Stol extensions (18” per wing) Some like that but I prefer not to have them because it only produces about 4 knots lower stall speed, but at the expense of a lower VNe speed and a little less clearance for fitting in a 40’ wide hangar! All of them from the 230SE, 260SE to the Katmai, Kenai and the King Katmai are really terrific planes!
Since you nailed the glideslope, airspeed, and power setting, you didn't have the opportunity to talk about what to do if your aim point moves up or down in the windshield.. ;-)
Technically, either would reduce the power but it’s quite uncommon to do it with the prop. So making power adjustments with the throttle and using manifold pressure as the gauge
@@chrissampson5549 Low pitch (aka high RPM or full forward position) is needed when an airplane is slow (during a take-off run and climbs). As you remember, prop blades are nothing more than another pair of wings (airfoils) in a vertical plane. This is a fine pitch position :::|> As you gain speed in cruise flight, it will start to create more drag (because relative wind shifts forward) and less horizontal lift, so you need to adjust them to this higher pitch position :::\> It's comparable to bicycle shifter or manual transmission in a car and it helps to operate your engine more efficiently at different speeds.
Only thing I didn't like was that you didn't actually "use" the checklists for anything. I was taught from day 1 to treat every flight, in every airplane like an airline flight....always...did I say always?.....use the checklist.
Thanks Gary, always appreciate input. Please do keep in mind however, that there are more than one type of checklists out there... “Read-then-do” is the most common for general aviation pilots, and is likely what you are referring to, but when someone has thousands of hours in a specific type, they could very well have committed the checklist to memory and choose to use the “recall-then-do” method. Just because you didn’t see me specifically pick up a piece of laminated paper doesn’t mean that I didn’t do my “checklist”! Think about it like this...when you first bake a cake, you follow the written recipe line for line, but after a thousand cakes you’d likely have the list of ingredients memorized and the order of operations as well so while you are physically doing all the same things...you aren’t physically reading the cook book while doing them! Now when you change the kind of cake you want to bake...you’ll want to revert back to the new recipe to make sure you don’t miss any ingredients or steps...much the same way I would advocate a physical checklist in a new or unfamiliar airplane! I realize that you, or your flight instructor may not agree with that, and I’m perfectly ok with that too! There are many good ways to stay safe in the air, and as long as you’re doing THAT, then all is well!

Thank You very much -Ben
The best explanation of aileron/rudder coordination anywhere ever.
This is the first time that I understood what to look for outside of the plane for an indicator of coordinated/uncoordinated flight.
Very happy to hear that! Thanks
One of the most informative Aviation videos I've seen on TH-cam!!! It's ridiculous I'm going to have to watch this 3-4 times for all the tips!!!
One of the best training videos I came across. Very well done and explain some of the basic relationships

This was the best explanations I have seen on pitch for airspeed and power for altitude. you really cleared it up for me. Thank you
As a retired physics teacher and airplane enthusiast, I appreciate your practical and professional approach to training… thx👍
A lot of good info, streamed out in a clear up tempo manner. Well done, I learned a lot. Going to watch this a few more times.
Cuz he talks so fast!😅
Exceptional explanation of “run up”....

Should do one on the constant speed prop! Many people are intimidated by the Blue knob

Is the compass _loose?_
Might want to tighten that compass looks a bit floppy.
I enjoyed your video, very informative.
Would you cover the avionics in your 182?

Hi! Where can i find more videos of this CFI and what is his name?

This aircraft is modified with a more powerful, fuel injected engine so it doesn’t have carb heat! If yours has a carb, I still very much recommend using carb heat at partial throttle settings.
I am going to copy the script, paste it in word , edit out the time stamps then save it as a pdf for my own simulation purposes.
Is that a Aspen E5?
Are you the only runway for miles and miles? I don't hear the airport mentioned before and after the radio calls. Here in the Puget Sound airports are very close together.
Question, During take-off, is your trim set to 0 or does it have some back pressure , maybe 5 or 10% ?
Awesome

Now that was a landing.... holy cow.
Can we get a detailed synopsis of the fuel mixture and how it’s used? Total newb level...

When you take power away, are you moving the throttle or prop ?
Technically, either would reduce the power but it’s quite uncommon to do it with the prop.

I bet going from manual trim to auto trim on an airliner must be a scary thing.
