I have been flying for 30 years. I really started watching your videos about 6 months ago. They inspired to to learn more about my (homebuilt) airplane. I have since spent many hours actually practicing slow flight. Not just the 5 minutes you typically do in training. An entire flight with flaps out and maneuvering. Before I actually did this the first time I thought it would be just 45 minutes of boredom (and yes I was at altitude!). What I found was that I was learning more about my plane than I had ever considered. And it was fun! I have continued to practice slow flight and its really introduces you to another world of flying. And I'm not talking about flying low down canyons like you do (I am a long way from that). It's just a new element to flying that I didn't know existed. I am becoming a better pilot because of it. Please keep doing what you are doing because you inspire me to become a better pilot, even after 30 years.
This is incredibly valuable and something all pilots should see and practice! I need to dedicate more flight time practicing emergency procedures. There seems to have been so many fatal GA accident's in the news lately and I can't help but think if we all had energy management skills honed just maybe some better outcomes. Thank you for sharing, truly
Excellent video - I have been flying for almost 40 years, and currently I fly a Husky STOL aircraft and I practice emergency response maneuvers frequently. In my Commercial Pilot training, we used the same sort of practice as well. When I first bought the Husky, I took a lot of mountain flying training, and it is very useful...all of these emergency responses need to be ingrained to the extent that in a real emergency, one's reaction is automatic and without hesitation. As you so correctly point out, it can save one's life and the life of anyone who is with you. To fly a STOL aircraft in the backcountry safely requires a high level of skill and that takes a lot of practice...
how about on take off move your airplane 30 degree heading to your right as soon as practical 50 or 80 ft agl by the end off the runway you look and you are parallel to to runway you can make a 180 even at low altitude and you are not too far off the runway by been parallel you can judge if you can made it tried it and let me know, subject to buildings , traffic or atc "uncontrolled airports"
I had an engine failure on take off and I was only 100 feet above the ground. I landed this mooney onto a highway overpass colliding with a car. No injuries.
I appreciate that you mention practicing the go around with full flaps and trimmed. I hear folks saying do not trim for landing in case of go around. I am with you here. Practice in your normal landing config and be ready. See you around AWO, N62039
Would you address the Sarajevo approach? Also known as a combat landing, a 25 degree approach before you flare upon landings. This was how I was taught to land a plane.
He's not pulling on the yoke. Pulling on the yoke will increase the load on the wings (or, in other words, the G force). Increasing the load also increases the stall speed. If you increase your bank angle sharply, but you don't pull on the yoke, you are basically trading altitude to turn faster. That's my understanding of it, anyway 😊

I get stressed watching your videos but I love learning from you.
you are an incredible pilot and I admire your humbleness

Great video, in my Cessna 182 flight we simulated a trim runaway.
Your videos are straightforward and to the point, from a non pilot.
how about on take off move your airplane 30 degree heading to your right as soon as practical 50 or 80 ft agl by the end off the runway you look and you are parallel to to runway you can make a 180 even at low altitude and you are not too far off the runway by been parallel you can judge if you can made it tried it and let me know, subject to buildings , traffic or atc "uncontrolled airports"
Always grace in motion! Thank you, Larry! Another great clip. Practice practice practice!!:-) Go BC182 Go!!
I had an engine failure on take off and I was only 100 feet above the ground. I landed this mooney onto a highway overpass colliding with a car. No injuries.
You can put an altitude marker on the altimeter. Set the turnback altitude before take off. No need to remember it under stress. Easy.
From A Master short field lander like you , it looks easy
Great job Larry
Thank you for the great information fly safe capt.
Well done thanks
Outstanding!

Please come say hi if you see me at KAWO.
Very cool! I wish you were my flight instructor

In a small plane, I will ONLY fly with you. Or someone you designate a superior pilot to you. Great video!
Silas Marner Ah c’mon, I’ll take ya furr a spin!
Awesome video. Loved it. How do you prevent a stall... At 3:56 u said it. Can you explain please?

@@LeantoPeak got it. thanks a lot 👍😊☺️
@@SwavimanKumar cheers mate, safe flights!
@@LeantoPeak Yes that is right.
@@motoadveBackcountry182 I didn't catch the speed and flap setting you used. what were they?
thank you - looks like tons of fun (extreme)!
Automatic movements, after long time of pratice, make you safe
Really helpful thx
Excellent info!!
Thanks a lot sir
Nice
Like your spanish accent as i am Turkish!
a little language practice would do wonders on ur nrs.
So it tells us... buy a multi engine plane or a plane with a chute, BUT nevertheless practise every emergency like you do!
