Flying a Lumber mission, Alaska

Flying the DC-3 to Fort Crosby AK to pick up some logs. Transport back to Talkeetna AK. The1600 foot strip is short and narrow ....
The hardest thing is to keep the scenery from crashing after only a few minutes runtime. As you will see!!

You need to remember and practice standard right or left landing pattern. So you never loose sight of the airport. Overfly the airport and make your turn to enter the pattern 1000ft agl downwind leg, mid field. Give yourself time! slow her down and get her trimmed while flying the downwind and base. Get yourself settled on the upwind buy mid field so you can slow to flap speeds. Get your gear down and settled before turning Base. Land the aircraft buy flying the same pattern over and over just like it's a light single. Watch a few pattern videos. Fly both left and right pattern. Soon You will be able to get in and out of about any back country airport. Just practice your pattern.

@imzzaudae thanks...I have been flying real planes and helicopters for 40 years.. my videos are for simulation not official instruction. As you probably know, aircraft in simulation is not even close to real deal. So doing actual airmanship on the simulation will not be the same. You should do some videos, they would be educational for sure.. thanks for watching.

@@outdoorsdelmarva5691 I find practising good airmen ship in the sim make all the difference. So does a nice yoke and throttle. Unfortunately, I am not well. Last stages of life with cancer. Time is growing very short for me unable to make videos. Who knows maybe this conversation will help someone struggling with landings. Thanks for the reply. Ron
