This video brings back fond memories of my flights in a Cessna 150 Aerobat. You are absolutely right in saying a good landing starts on the downwind leg, rather than leaving everything (flaps, speed , attitude etc) to short finals and making a poorly set up landing. I always used 70mph +10% for the wind and controlled it with my attitude, never let me down on any of my landings.
"I don't pitch up..." No, but when you add power, typically the plane does that on it's own because of the prop wash over the wing. Some planes will pitch down though. When that happens, the airspeed increases so you pitch back up to 60 manually.
@@TheTerrypcurtin but what if you fly a plane without trim? Like I get that it’s an IMC thing and that’s totally fine. But what if I don’t fly IMC? What if the plane is in the experimental category and won’t pitch up (initially) to airspeed? Idk man. I think it’s important to add the energy first but I think saying that the plane will “always arrest a descent rate with power” is a little misleading…
Power settings 1600 rpm. Trim for speed. 80mph. 70 on base. 20 flaps. 65 mph final 30 flaps. 40 flaps when runway is made. Always trim for speeds. If you play with the yoke for this you'll fail every instrument approach. Fly by the numbers now and you won't get bad habits that can kill you in IMC later in your flying life. Nothing is willy nilly

no plane in the world lands with such a perfect attitude as the 150 does. perfect!!!
Nice footage and good tips! Keep up the good work…
Great video. Thanks for posting. You say a lot in a short period of time. I love that.
Hey can you remake san diego international airport but at 1:400 height and create soon to be new SAN t1

Everything is trimming to speed. Try landing with trim alone. More power makes every plane climb. Trimming is how you fly in IMC.

Hmmm Never used more than 20 deg flaps. 60 kts base and final. Tight pattern. Variable flaps is an interesting concept though.
nice video!! just wondering why you are in the right seat of the plane?
He is a flight instructor so he is use to sitting in the right seat.
By sitting in the right seat, pilot is letting us see the flight instruments. Great idea!
Beautiful!!
Great video thanks!!!
Good info
Thnx sir

Nice video but why is he flying in the copilot seat with no other pilot lol
Landed on the butter looks like this.
ITs all in the formula ie., CLhalfeRowVsquareds The formula tells it all.
huh
