Thanks so much for showing us different approaches on different terrains and runways and how to conduct a good landings and lastly thanks so much for taking your time sharing with us on this channel and looking forward for more great and fantastic aerial flight approaches and landings on TH-cam again soon. Regards. From The Flight Deck .
I folow u for some time, u are the best man...and with a cessna. That's amazing. U are a real good pilot, not someone that is a pilot. Learned a lot from u. Greetings from Brazil!
Love your videos. I’m in love with my 182 s. If you could aline one of your cameras with the AOA it would be very helpful for me to practice my approaches. It takes a lot of practice to shift from airspeed on approach to AOA. Seeing what you are seeing would be very helpful. Thanks a lot. Paul
X23 in FL has a steep approach on the south end due to trees and power lines. In fact most of the grass strips and small airports in FL have trees at least at one end. I never let the plane get so slow that the stall warning was chirping during approach. If I need to bleed off speed crab it. When i was flying at X23 it was 1/2 it's current length.
I really love looking at your videos. I am hoping that one day I can get a 182. I have looked at the 180 and 185 but I think the 182 just seems like the best all around.
Love the video, quality content! What's the strip (or coordinates) in Oregon at 8:43, if you don't mind sharing? It looks like a lot of fun with the side slip. I'm looking forward to exploring that area and trying to find that particular approach in microsoft flight simulator.
If you ever have a right seat open down here in Costa Rica I’d love to see some of these place from the air. Can trade you some dinner and drinks here at the lodge. 🤙. Another great video!
Sometimes I would drop my flaps 2 notches and that will settle down pretty fast - good video. Need more instructive vids on mountain flying because of the soooo many problems that can happen - with each season. The mountains and their passes change appearance in each one.
Thank you for editing and posting this! One question: at 10:50 I hear you fiddle with the power couple times before touch down. Why is this necessary in general? When I try to do a short landing, I would reduce the throttle all the way to idle and use the nose to maintain safe speed until I am low enough over the runway then I use the nose to maintain altitude which will cause the speed to drop and I land. Since I put the power all the way to idle already there is no more room without side slipping to land shorter. Why does fiddling with power in any way result in a more favorable landing (shorter landing?)
With regards to the low speed, you can have a higher approach speed since you will bleed off extra speed in the flare because there is such a big change in pitch. The added bonus is a lower nose giving you better visibility. Strictly speaking, adding power for the flare is not the best technique although I do appreciate that your type flying requires you to do what you have to do to get the job done.
At the minimal speeds I come, adding power works just prior to touch down, not easy to master it though, I cannot gain airspeed by lowering the nose down, then flare many of this strips and gravel bars that are very short, and just minimal speed works.
On your last landing, I’m not sure I actually saw the runway. 😀 I guess I’m just used to 8000 foot asphalt runways. Call me spoiled. I’m envious of your skill. Great job.
You're riding the AOA gauge right at critical on these slow approaches? Would you say it would be possible without the gauge? How much do you use outside the cockpit to judge speed, say do you watch the trees at all?
66lwmorgan I think so, he mentions the water landing at 8:34. Using the shallow water lengthens the available space and a bit of drag slows quickly (removing energy at the beginning of the roll shortens it considerably, energy being proportional to speed squared and all that physics)
@@andyowens5494 As good as he is I thought it might be intentional but I would think the slightest touch of tires hitting water would flip the plane over. Either way he's one hellava of a pilot. Thank you for your input.
At first I thought the video was in South East Asia. We used to practice short field landings, there, with full flaps and no power (until just before the flare). Like being in an elevator.
just because you could doesn't mean you should. flying close to stall speed is a bad way to fly - especially close to ground. if you get a weird gust of wind at just the wrong moment you could loose lift on one or both wings and tumble.
In a proper short field landing, you should always be close to stall speed just short of runway. The error most pilots make when landing at more challenging strips is not being too slow, but being too fast. He also says that in windy conditions he carries more speed. As a rule when going into challenging back country strips you should always fly during morning hours when air is calm and cool, for obvious reasons.
Such an underrated channel. You do a great job!
This maybe the most underestimated aviation channel on TH-cam. You really do a great job flying and filming.
Agreed. A lot of real world examples with good explanation!
The approach and landing just before the 9 min mark in Oregon, perfect. You are a talented pilot my brother.
Some incredible aircraft handling, Backcountry182.
Love the sideslip and landing into the field at 8:43.
Another fantastic video with excellent narration and your flying skills are inspiring.
I’m a pilot and I learn a lot from your videos. Love them.

Love your channel, awesome video as always
Your air speed control is stunning. Squeaking stall warning every time on flare and touchdown.
1:00 here you can hear the pilot screaming his lungs out during roundout to assert dominance over the aircraft

Wow, now that's some nice flying. Thanks for the videos.
best GA channel... and i watch all the GA channels. This is so good
Beautifully done my fellow pilot, true professionalism...

Wonderful video, keep up the good work!
Good skills. Thanks for sharing. I soloed in a 180 and have great respect for your skills.
At last someone who approaches at a sensible speed. Nicely done.
Absolutely amazing flying skill
Just got my instrument my goal is this.. love your videos
Great video and skill getting into those tight rough strips!
amazing videos!!! congrats
Man, I would have loved flying with you one day. Here in Norway of course!
Love the video, quality content!

I love watching this man fly. This is where the real skill is, the back country....not 38000ft with an 737.

Thanks, will be there in March
"There is no go around, keep that in mind." Damn bro
You wonder how his ginormous balls fit through the door of that little airplane.
DigitalPilot glider pilots don't get to "go around" either. ;) know your aircraft.
Love your channel, that’s some skills. I have a long way to go before I am that good.
I am a pilot student in Costa Rica, and we have so rude conditions to learn but I thing that could be nice
What is the ICAO or name/location off the airstrip at 2:32 (so I can try it in Xplane)
Big Creek in Idaho
@@motoadveBackcountry182 thank you
Yes, thanks,that will help me too.

..can you talk about how you brake on grass fields, soft fields, maintaining directional control on landings.

Do you use full flaps? Would love to know your thoughts the approach configs you choose for each. Fantastic videos and commentary.
Full flaps 90% of the time, unless is too windy
What is too windy?
You know your plane very well !

Hey! In your flights to Costa Rica, have you ever flown at MMJC? (Atizapán, México)
In Mexico, Tapulco,Mazatlan, Huaymas, Tapachula, was lots of fun, great people and food.
What is the glass rectangle mounted left of center on the dash?
Angle of Attack indicator. AOA. It is a device that is becoming popular with those who wish to do this type of flying....low and slow.
Me acuerdo muy bien de la cabecera 09 Pavas en verano...siempre jala para abajo en el hueco... y lo he hecho en TI ABE...👍
I am full of respect to you !!!!!
Is it a 205 ?
Got any videos landing into Simonds ID?
I have never been to Simmonds, might put it on the list for this year.
If you can get in /out of Simonds in that plane, you deserve pilot of the year award . 800' L 5200 elv

It's amazing to watch how well you perform these landings. Was that intentional at 8:40?
66lwmorgan I think so, he mentions the water landing at 8:34. Using the shallow water lengthens the available space and a bit of drag slows quickly (removing energy at the beginning of the roll shortens it considerably, energy being proportional to speed squared and all that physics)

66lwmorgan Many aircraft, and many pilots, you would be right. I think he counts as elite; more than I can say for me!
Well Done.
tough planes these cessnas are.
Very experiencing pilot.
At first I thought the video was in South East Asia. We used to practice short field landings, there, with full flaps and no power (until just before the flare). Like being in an elevator.
At 5:12, cut that one tree and you'd be better off. Great skill.
Is that a stall buzzer I keep hearing?
Yes. Just a warning. It does not mean imminent stall. During a proper short field landing it will usually be chirping away.
What is that screeching? Not talking about the stall warning
Never slip it to the ground?
AWESOME
Amazing landing.
You might as well disable that stall warning horn 😂
I see he dose not even try at noon. The end of the day just before the sun goes down with no wind is no big deal.
Badass pilot tough conditions

"also there are horses"...and dogs...and people...on the runway...
Way to risky those approach with the stall horn on
If I had to make that approach and landing at 6:40 we would still be picking up airplane parts
Классно и очень красиво!
Man.. You are a bird!! 👌🏽
Nice narrative with your rationale. No offence intended, but I really hope I never have to land at any of those strips. Enjoy your flying :)
😁👍
😍👍👍👍
Мастер
I had to turn it off, I could stand the sound of that altitude alarm! It sounds like a cat got cought in the mangle.
"Altitude alarm". What are you talking about?
He's talking about the stall warning horn.
@@clintbuzzworth6669 lol. I know. I was being facetious.
@@freepilot7732 The altitude alarm is when your passenger passes out.
