0:19 a flight instructor once told me : upon landing, NEVER push the stick foward. If you bounce, hold the stick where it is, and manage the throttle if you loose speed. I think that's where the mistake was, IMHO.
To be fair, it was a crappy old day, a bit breezy... however I got court out at calais airport in France with a full groundloop, that was a blustery day... again no damage... Thanks for the comment GT
I wouldn't post them if I worried about the negative comments... I post them cuz I want people to may learn from my mistakes or just to see what happens when it goes Pear shaped Anyway thanks for the comment and supporting my channel Kind regards GT
A bit scary landings there. Looks like too much control input causing you to balloon and then drop out of the sky. I say because I struggle with that myself at times. One thing my CFI stressed to me was centerline. Best of luck in the future.
Hey This is a great video ..there is a lot to learn here .... Tell me 1 pilot who hasn't done something similar .... appreciate you putting it up .... millage is a great teacher .... at 500 hours you're feeling good..at 1000 hours the plane seem to fly itself. Remember ....Confident...cocky... lazy ...dead ..not just in flying in all of life.
Honestly apart from being a big fast and not on centerline, it didn't got to shit until the last moment when it looked like the plane was weathercocked...
I should've Gone on the first bounce matt, I think if I had been in a tricycle aircraft, the nose may have collapsed... anyhow, lesson learnt, have not done it since, and when I have bounced, I've gone around.. thank you for taking the time to watch my mistake..
Yeah cramming it in all the way, then immediately removing all power and trying to re-flare is something a virtuoso bush pilot may be able to pull off... definitely not for a weekend flyer. First bounce - go around, every time. I've had three bounces once, it's not fun. The fourth one would have been a collapsed nose gear and a prop strike, never again.
Thank you for the comment, and supporting the channel, I only bounce once now, and go around... however the landing at calais airport did catch me out, not enough right aileron ... live and learn, ... but as one of the guys said. Regarding my aviator abilities... "i couldn't fly off a Broom handle" did make chuckle.... Regards GT
Hi JW, yes, im a little bit better now, with regards to flying time I only fly about 20 to 30 hours a year, so it's not much... and yes I do pick my days now, however, this year I did suffer a ground loop in france at Calais airport, but thank god no damage done, the remainder of the week was fine, with no problems... Again, thank you for your helpful comments and, I tend not to worry about peer pressure or negative comments, to many years in both the military and civil fire service to worry about what people think ... the eurofox is a little twitchy, and I'm still getting use to it, but it will come. Cheers JW GT
Yep, got away with it that time, but should've Gone round on the first bounce... Good job the eurofox has a very robust undercarriage Thank you for the comment Regards GT
Hi Arthur, Happy New Year, i use to fly skyrangers, check out my other videos... this was about 2 years ago, have got better, however, it has crossed my mind more than twice to revert back to tricycle version of the eurofox... thank you for taking the time to watch my video 😊
Good job going around. 100% of pilots with any time have had bounces. Once you push in that throttle to go around, commit to it (I’m sure you know this). But I like your immediate instinct to push the stick forward on a go like this, that’ll keep you from a departure stall which would be the real bad news.
@@gt-av8r The important part is to keep growing old! Thanks for sharing BTW - lovely little plane and great to live a little vicariously from time to time.
Looks like you were pretty much just along for the ride. Ignore the comments from the taildragger haters and don’t blame the equipment. The best advice I could give you would be to find a good tailwheel instructor and get some dual instruction in your airplane and stay off the pavement till more comfortable. There is no shame in learning from someone who actually has better experience……I have tried to do this my entire flying career and it’s worth it. I owned 4 taildraggers in Alaska from PA-18 to Cessna 185 . Happy New Year and safe flying.
Thanks for the support, and yes i have training book, and its tarmac stuff... so looking forward to it... this video was filmed some while ago, I'm a little bit better, but i don't really fly a great deal, however, i aim to turn it around this year (2024). Anyhow, happy new year mate
@@gt-av8r I just watched your most recent vid and you are doing a lot better. You need to fly as much as possible when you have the time. Don’t worry about peer pressure if that’s a thing for you. Fly when conditions are helpful to your learning process. Try to stay smooth on the controls and stay way ahead of the airplane in the thinking. The staying ahead part can be greatly enhanced with a good cfi helping you out. I would also say concentrate on the rudimentary flying of the airplane and don’t get too distracted with all the bright shiny things . Just fly the airplane and build on your skillset. It’s not going to happen overnight but flying more often is a key component.
Add power, RELAX! establish climb, deep breath in and out, carry on. See how you were grabbing around with your right hand for anything? You were thinking your right hand should be doing something, but did not know what it should be doing. Practice more go-arounds, and keep learning. Thank you for sharing, that was very brave of you in this keyboard warrior world.
Thank you for your comments. To be fair, I know I screwed up, and we all do that now and again, don't we .... I have no problem posting my flying rights and wrongs on the platform... thats what's youtube is all about.
The camera view makes it hard to judge but it looked like your approaches were too flat and you barely made it too the runway on the second attempt. I prefer to be a little high and use a forward slip for better runway visibility. edit: I just went and looked at a couple of my own videos and the round out looks lower than they actually were. Carry on!
Exactly what I was thinking. It looked like he was getting curl over from the trees and hedge on the first approach. I would have came in higher on the second and slipped it to get it on the runway.
Wow. You are missing a KEY insight into landing light tailwheel aircraft. Please, please, please find a grey hair instructorthat has been to a circus or two. You can conquer the beast, but you arenow at 50/50 chance of loosing the airplane with the skill set you have. Blessing. Todd
With respect sir, when landing get your right hand off the throttle and on the flap handle, upon touch down *immediately* pull flaps out and get heavy, especially with a near horizontal windsock. You're landing a tailwheel bush plane not a nose-wheel trainer. When you commit to landing in your boss bush plane, put her down, bounce or no bounce. Cheers! And subscribed!
Hi, and Merry Christmas, thank you for your comment, and yes I agree with your view, I really screwed that one up, however, this year I actually performed a groundloop at calais airport, (I hate tarmac). Anyway, have a look at this video, I have learnt to cover and clean up the flaps as you say... m.th-cam.com/video/ljVqw61ddSU/w-d-xo.html
Ooof. I almost bounced the CT on my solo nav ex. I think as a student you become paranoid of stalling during landing. But after a while you realise being too quick is only marginally less dangerous. That said I'm possibly too cautious now and there are times where I could have probably landed. It is funny how when you are close to the ground the fuzzy logic comes in (i.e. this looks good, milliseconds later, this looks bad, and back to good milliseconds later again).
See the huge difference in nose attitude of the two landings? The nose is way up high in the successful touchdown. I was told to go and sit in my first taildragger and learn where the horizon cuts through the forward view. That, I was informed, is what the picture should be at touchdown. Thanks for sharing your film, a great illustration of gottalanditus 😎
Thanks for sharing your Experience, i fly an Eurofox tricycle, it is much more forgivable when you are not exactly in the pipe. In the second attempt at 00:48 it seems to me you stalled it (left wing) very near the ground. Maybe you should had to wait 2 seconds longer and still hold the stick where it was? But anyway, you managed it and learned the lesson ;-) And you have a very nice airplane, i like the Colorsceme very much!
Thank you for your kind words, yes I did stall it, was in a bit of a Tiz... at that point, I only had about 12hrs in the aircraft... I certainly learnt my lesson Tom
I know everyone is an armchair expert but I have to admit to questioning the approach speed. Looked very fast. It’s an ultralight aircraft not jet fighter. Practice STOL and one is in front of the eight ball not behind wondering of shit what just happened. Meant to fun not a fight.
@@gt-av8r: that’s kinda what TV antennas used to look like. They stood from the ground and were attached near your house and went up a bit higher than your roof, reaching from the ground to about your roof, this was Before cable.
@@gt-av8r do you have a brs parachute? I fly a cirrus but I just sold it a month ago and looking for a smaller plane for my farm with not many options if I lose power early.
@@Mobev1 Hi 007, no i dont have a BRSP, its something that i really dont need (well i think i dont) as i hope i can land it in a field, as there are many around where i usually fly
You were just really keen to see concorde! I love people posting their mistakes for others to learn from but it takes balls with all the armchair pilots shouting
Yeah, object fixation is very common. You can never practise G-A's too often. Let them become second nature, something you do just like that. Looks like your centerline was off well before things got interesting...
Thank you for your observation and comment, it's great that professionals like your self are putting ones self our, to help a rookie like me... cheers Bud😊
Gross over controlling brought about by the senseless unconventional layout of the controls. Even the throttle is subject to whole arm lunges when good engine management suggests delicate adjustments by fingers and wrist. We see here massive movements of the stick where small movements are wanted. If we had not 'gone around' we were lined up for the classic 'undamped fugoid' leading to total disaster. Because this throttle/stick layout is cheap, easy and convenient for the manufacturer doesn't make it the sensible option. O.K. with practice one can get used to it but when the convention is widely established why make it difficult for the sports flyer ?
First rebound? It happens. But then, full throttle immediately followed by cutting the throttle was a horrible demonstration of his lack of know-how and a very dangerous panic response. You see his right hand go everywhere after that, showing a man having just panicked and making completely irrational gestures. This guy should have an instructor with him to avoid a catastrophic end until becoming proficient.
Number one you're a approach was too shallow. You're a dragging into the runway and way over controlling. No, I'm not talking out of my you know what? I've got nine thousand hours of taildragger time. You need to start doing some nice pattern work. And when you get near the runway don't let it settle down take your time and smooth control
You definetely don't know the basics of correct approach speed and glide. You need immediately training and I would suggest don't fly alone for the next quite many flights or you risk to die...
Thank you for your advice, and I will bear in mind your comment... However that incident was over a year ago now, and I have become a little more proficient... nevertheless, I will try and be better on the approach, maybe see my last upload of landing at Courseulles Sur Mer in France.... I have got better :-)
@@gt-av8r you are welcome! I didnt want to underestimate you but i was really scared from your reactions. Flying low speed for approach and making right corrections of attitude are critical. You need to practice them in higher altitudes with instructor! Take care!
definitely way to improve, landings are pretty scary, feels like you are fighting and overcontrolling the plane. I recommend taking some glider lessons to get a better feeling for it. Once you initiate a go around, GO AROUND, never pull the power out and force it to land or disaster will happen. It's no shame going around. All the best!
@@gt-av8r I don't know what that means, but walk the rudders dynamically and proactively to bracket the centerline. Start with a broom balanced on your hand at home. It is the same concept with unbalanced weight. Walk the rudders on short final all the way until stopped. Don't wait for ground loop and then react as with the first approach. Prevent ground loop with active bracketing of the target with rudder. You are making a shallow approach anyway, use power all the way down as with the soft field. With no obstructions like there you can start the deceleration as soon as you come into ground effect. It bounced on the first landing because you were way too fast to land. Vso is a out of ground effect number that has nothing to do with landing. At one inch above the runway, you need to be much slower than Vso. "All slowed up and ready to squat" is how Wolfgang put it on page 302 in Stick and Rudder. Stay with it.
@Jimmy Dulin hi Jimmy, thank you for the very constructive reply: Yes the approach was far too fast, and boy did I bounce... I have got a little bit better since last August when that footage was take... please take a look at Conington to holmbeck, landing much better... however every days a school day, so I will endeavour to improve my technique
0:19 a flight instructor once told me : upon landing, NEVER push the stick foward. If you bounce, hold the stick where it is, and manage the throttle if you loose speed. I think that's where the mistake was, IMHO.

Yes the approach was far too fast, and boy did I bounce... I have got a little bit better since last August when that footage was take... please take a look at Conington to holmbeck, landing much better... however every days a school day, so I will endeavour to improve my technique
@@gt-av8r Very good. I will check that out. You have a good attitude about seeking comments and ideas. We learn by doing, but information can help.
