@@EvanLuft It's absolutely AMAZING that our Mark 1 Mod 0 eyeballs are FAR BETTER than camera+display technology. No camera tech can recreate what our eyeballs see.
The situational awareness you get from a glass cockpit is absolutely unmatched. I don’t think I would ever try this in a steam gauge six pack equipped aircraft.
@Secret Squirrel personally, if I'm flying into IFR, I wouldn't trust trying to go from base to final wearing a blindfold without nothing more than a VOR. But then again, I'm addicted to living. Let's say you have nothing but an altimeter, and an attitude. Your attitude will change very quickly if your depending on just an altimeter and a compass to find an airport without being able to see the ground. That's when it's a good time to squawk!
My all time favorite moment, in 25 years of flying, was exactly this. Couldn't have been more than 5' above mins....approach lights....come on down...threshold, runway, PAPI lights...grease it in on the 1000footers! Kinda makes ya feel like a wizard!!!
@@aviator1111 I assure you, with that answer, you are absolutely not an airline pilot. The touchdown zone is mandatory for all US airlines. Landing in the first 1/3 of the runway or the first 3,000 ft, whichever is less.
@@captclyde7233 i did not claim something about me being an airline pilot. also i do not know about FAA regulations but just search some approach videos and you will see that it is not rare for planes to land after TDZ. TDZ is just for situational awareness. If runway is long enough some airlines have different landing roll limitations.
@@aviator1111I can only speak confidently in regards to airlines, being one for 10 years. All require landing in the touchdown zone, first 3000 or 1/3. All our landing performance data that makes every landing legal is based on that, if you float beyond it, mandatory go around. As for GA, it is at best, sloppy. You are assuming your brakes are going to work perfectly, there's no contaminates, no traffic behind you, and you are adding risk, reducing safety, all to save 2 mins of taxi time by holding it off a few thousand feet. Would never, ever fly at any airline. Airlines have a division called FOQA that will analyze all data from the FDR black box and it tells on the pilots if they land beyond the TDZ. then you get a call and have to fill out paperwork to protect yourself and your license.
When you have the als in sight you can decend to 100´ above the tdze, it kinda looks like you went under without saying you had the reils insight, not sure if this is true but looked a little iffy haha
Friends Business partner, who didnt have perfect communications with atc, landed 200 feet short of the runway n lost his and a friends lives a few years ago. now i can get what fog looks like. Being from nevada, I never had any first hand experience with fog or the concept of "visibility" it is always so damn clear here.
Boy, that thing's quiet. Gotta love instruments.. Yes, you take it seriously..you stopped narrating for full attention..well done sir. Very professional. You're hired!👍
Actually, almost correct. Having them in sight allows you to drop to 100' above TDZE. Usually, it's the same thing due to 200' minimums being so common, but not always
Yep, just the other day I had to flight three approaches right to minimum. I have to say it was quite the experience since I haven’t flown an approach to minimum’s in a few months.
If I was flying with you, I would say you greased it. I've only been up in a twinkle two or three times in my life, but it was fun. I'm a 172 fan myself, but I'll enjoy a piper if I can't find anything else. They are a little more gentle in a stall. I guess I like a view under my wings.
That's was a hell of a smooth landing in VFR conditions, let alone that you didn't see the pavement until about 100' or so from the ground. I can imagine that someone who doesn't handle it particularly frequently could find it quite a scary experience to go down that low... I hope you had plenty of better alternates at least
Thanks so much!! I have to say sometimes you get lucky and flare at the right time and sometimes you don’t! Haha I find that IFR flying when it’s low… is sometimes easier because you are very focused and it forces you to be prepared. :)
The craziest landing I ever had was in Terace BC on Boxing Day. In a blizzard 🌨️. The pilot turned the lights on and all I could see was white. We hit the runway so hard and bounced up. Going Way too fast. So he pinned the throttle to try and take off again. We barely cleared the trees at the end of the runway. Second time around. There was so much snow, we couldn’t taxi to the building. So everyone had to get out and walk in a foot of snow. I do not recommend.
With low visibility conditions my main fear would be having a very high descent rate and landing short. Besides that, very smooth landing sir, that’s the advantage of being in a smaller aircraft, you can use as much of the runway as you want as long as it’s a very long runway!
Not to detract from Evan's skillz, but aren't pretty much all normal landings silky smooth with a trailing link gear? If he was flying a 402 I'd be more impressed. Either way great video and way to slay low mins!
Note to self after a steal an airplane After the geomagnetic Storm happens I will descend below minimum once runway in sight...ooo need to do one on setting alt. . . No atc. Nevmnd
What did you do to get into the commercial pilot area, I've been exploring options with becoming a commercial pilot as I am a LST at a local fbo but it's hard to find info on how to get jobs after obtaining something like a ATP liscense, I watched your video on ppl how much more was it to get your commercial liscense and how long before you actually had started the career, if you don't mind me asking😄
You mentioned descending below DA because of the "runway lights" Assuming you meant approach lights(since you said you would be following them), did you just opt out of verbalizing descending to 100ft above TDZE?
I know absolutely nothing about aviation but that sure looked like a smooth landing lmao
Haha thanks!!!
@@EvanLuft It's absolutely AMAZING that our Mark 1 Mod 0 eyeballs are FAR BETTER than camera+display technology.
No camera tech can recreate what our eyeballs see.
Wow, solid landing btw. And by solid I don't mean you "found the runway" 😂😂 that was absolutely silk. Esp in weather.
The situational awareness you get from a glass cockpit is absolutely unmatched. I don’t think I would ever try this in a steam gauge six pack equipped aircraft.
It really is!
I would rather fly a steam engine with a six pack radio stack, than to pop a fuse and try this with only an AI. glass blank screen.
@@davidlamunyon9087 for redundancy you’re required to have a standby altimeter and attitude indicator running off the pitot static.

I’m a vfr pilot and that was effing amazing.
Im a VFR pilot and I don’t get what the big deal is.
I find the runway or runway lights every time I fly
😂
@@fffgrehn Naughty Naughty
Love the music in the background
Thanks! I can’t remember who it is
Sounds like Toy Story
Landings are the END POINT. A Stabilized Approach from FAF to MAP is the Important part of Instrument Flying. Great Job Bro.
Thanks!! :) and you are absolutely right! No landing is ever good without a controlled approach
My all time favorite moment, in 25 years of flying, was exactly this. Couldn't have been more than 5' above mins....approach lights....come on down...threshold, runway, PAPI lights...grease it in on the 1000footers!

Meanwhile in xplane I still call slamming a Cessna into the ground at Mach 3 smooth, nice landing man 😂
Hahaha now you’re bringing back all of my flight Sim memories good times! Haha
Only one word to you my friend: Respect
Damn couldn’t even tell when the wheels touched the ground. No shudder or anything. Nice work Evan
Haha thanks!!! Too nice! :p
Landing a glider is like landing a bike. Literally! You have to balance the wings on the main and tail wheel until you slow down enough…
@@NewSoloPilotdepends on the glider haha! On a G103 you know its gonna be hard but on a ask21 its gonna be easy :)
@@salmon_s5408 Loved the DG-1000, cut my finger on its winglet when I ran the wing! So aerodynamic 😂
It takes balls to fly in these conditions.
Fr I can’t even fly these conditions in mfs 😂
Not really just got to know what u your doing
You get use to it. It becomes second nature. It gets fun when you cant see those lights at minimums lol.
Great landing!! Peaceful music
Thanks! :)
Boss mode, great landing
Thanks!! 👍💪
Great job!
Very nice, I've logged a few ILS's to minimums a few times myself.
The panel looked like a Conquest I ...
Nice Patrick!! yes the panel does help especially with situational awareness!
So smooth that it feels the plane is landing
Why thank you :-)
*It's absolutely AMAZING that our Mark 1 Mod 0 eyeballs are FAR BETTER than current camera technology*
When you consider the millions of years of evolution/R&D, it would be amazing if cameras *were* better
Magical
Smooth operator
great video, and hand flown no less. well done
That was some of the thickest soup I've ever seen... Three more seconds and I would have gone to the alternate.
Great flying!
Beautiful flying my man. Good job💪
Spectacular landing, bravo!
Now that’s the way it’s done.
Well done.
RL
Best damn flare ive seen to this day, and that landing bro, was so smooth 🎉
Bro you son of a gun Thats takes soooooo much skill 🎉🎉🎉🎉 you are the goat
Even in a simulator I cant land like that
Thanks so much! Means a lot!! :) Not all my landings are that smooth though ;)
Nicely done.
Butter!
Beautiful
Impressive Mate
Thanks!!
Silky smooth skin..err landing ...fantastic job
Beautiful landing
Thanks!!
Wow
Talk about a confidence builder 👏 👏 👏 👏
Haha it works 90% of the time, 20% of the time haha
You are the man
Duuude that was BUTTERRR 🧈🧈🧈
Hahaha too much credit. I land smooth 30% of the time 10% of the time lol
Hand flown ILS to DA no track made good line. That was nicely done.
Boss mode! but looks like a deep landing.
Butter baby
The 425 seems soo cool just can't believe how much power is needed on short final to flare.
Butter landing well done
Must be very satisfying to do everything right, & see the approach lights blinking as expected.
It really is! :)
Nailed it bro!
I think you busted minimums there cowboy, but all's well that ends well. Nice approach.
Nice
chasing the “rabbit”. beautiful
Been there, done that!
You can't get silkier than that... jeez. Good job!
Absolutely amazing
Thanks!!
I wasnt able to tell of the plane had tuched down yet, very well done
smoooooooothe
That was like landing on fog! 🎉
That airplane still doesn't know that it landed..., now that's smoooth!
Nice 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Greased it sir, nice landiing
Smooth yet beyond the touchdown zone
He probably had more than enough runway.
TDZ is not that important in a small prop like this. Even in airliners pilots have chance of landing after TDZ if airlne approves it.

Flooooooooat.
🤫 haha
That landing was Apsolutly buttered
When games become so real that I wonder if msfs added a pilot animation at the end there lol 😅 Buttery landing as well!
Joli
Silky-smooth me like lol
Silky smooth indeed. Didn't feel a thing lol. Butter.
Haha thanks John. Too much credit! :p
Love u bro just inspired me to fly the sim
That makes me very happy to hear that! it was my at home simulator that first inspired me to get into Aviation along with my dad’s old Flying books
BUTTER
Single pilot IMC is rough. Good job
Great job captain
Thank you sir!

Thanks! :)
Good butta makin'!
Thanks!! :)
Balls of steel
Haha it’s all an illusion… it’s the pattern on the pants haha (anchorman quote)
You must have phenomenal vision. I could not see the landing lights at all until the last fww seconds.
just good enough haha

Yes, you take it seriously..you stopped narrating for full attention..well done sir. Very professional. You're hired!👍
Thanks a lot! That’s why I do the narration afterward. So I’m not trying to do it while flying :)
When I first saw the video I thought the fog was a white wall and it was some guy with a plane in his living room😂
Buttered the bread
Just to be clear having the rabbit in sight only allows you to drop another 100’. You must have the other elements of the runway threshold in sight.
Hahahahhahaha and what illusion is there if the bunny is running towards you vs away?
Actually, almost correct. Having them in sight allows you to drop to 100' above TDZE. Usually, it's the same thing due to 200' minimums being so common, but not always
That was a long float.. good thing the rwy was long and the plane was small.
Yes I went for a super smooth floaty touchdown! Haha
Sometimes silky smooth means too long of a landing roll and crash into the trees at the end.
All depends on the conditions and airfield.
you are absolutely correct! haha the long silky smooth approach is only for long silky smooth runways
@@EvanLuftI know I commented on this a while back, but when do you cut your throttle to execute such a nice landing?
Flare man!
Haha oops hahahah

Better than when I landed a plane (it was my first time flying. Video on my channel)
That looks crazy not being able to see anything around you. I know you use your instruments but still, I’d like to see if possible lol

I actually got into it with the flight school that got me my private license. Then word of mouth got me my first few jobs
Hard to find jobs AFTER getting your ATP?! I’m hoping you misspoke, because there’s TONS of jobs out there. Plenty from 500 and up.
