Hi Lew. Thanks very much for this video. As always, it was very entertaining and very informative at the same time. I just started working on my CFI flight training (about 5 hours into it )and I have been struggling with landing the plane from the right seat. Im finding myself off center-line to the right and landing on the right main wheel. Base to final... always overshooting the runway. Any suggestion/ tip would really be appreciated. also, what is the name of the mount you are using to record the instrument view ( the camera mounted between the over head lights). Thanks a lot bro. really appreciate your time.
Thanks for posting a video of what some pilots find mundane. As a 50 year old pilot of only 15 months and 180 hrs. I have religiously continued to do patterns (we call them circuits in here in Canada) at least every other week. Nearly 600 landings in 180 hrs. I intend to keep that 3-1 ratio going forever. I think of it like a golfer going to the driving range. My personal record is 12 in one outing. It's also good to mix it up by going to other airports to do patterns so you don't get used to just landing at your home airfield. Currently landed at 27 different airports. Piper owner by the way....
I really enjoyed your flying lesson this morning. Your "need to correct" is a sign of a good pilot. Not that I have(had...it's been a while) your experience but story reminded me of a landing I had with my instructor when going on my Pre-1st-Cross Country...I BANGED THE LANDING. All my other landings were sweet...ya didn't even know I touch the ground. I was excited to be making this flight, what's not to love. KHZL is 5001' x 100 ft, it's a "living room" when compared to my home base of KFWN - 3506' x 75 ft.. Looking back now, there isn't that much of a difference. Anyway, my instructor knows I can land the plane sweet yet I BANGED it. When I asked, what did I do wrong? He said I based my flare on my view from the front windscreen. I was looking for when the runway fit a pre-scribed visual. I guess as you know, if you go from a 75' width runway to a 100' runway...YOU WILL FLARE EARLY. This is what caused the BANG. I slept in this and the next day I got in the plane and went to an uncontrolled airport with pretty much matching specs - KMGJ - and nailed my landings once again. Thanks for listening and I have one question, what application do you used for editing?
Love your videos. Practice makes perfect. I think it's awesome that you want to be able to practice what you preach. Appreciate your honesty and professionalism in this post.
Did my first solo today. Verry exciting but on the final approach, I was notified that I should be expecting a go-around due to the plane that landed just in front of me went off the runway and went in circles. But besides that, my Solo was Amazing.
I did my first solo yesterday too and had to do a go-around because of a plane still on the runway. I did my second solo today and no go-around's just smooth happy landings!
Working on my PPL at a little class G in rural KY, deep into Jeppersen and my online course. Just a thanks for super relevant, witty vids that break up the grind and keep me excited about this new adventure.
I just got my instrument rating and my landings have really tanked. I'm going to take a day and do just what you did on this video. Thanks for all the great videos, really appreciate them!
I don't comment often mate but wanted to say I love your videos. I'm a flying instructor in Australia and love the way you approach teaching and learning; I'll be sharing with my students. Really refreshing to see someone like-minded in the TH-cam aviation space. Aviation is incredibly dynamic and as pilots we need to put egos aside, recognise we're not perfect, skills can deteriorate, and we're continuously learning and adapting.
Good drills Lewis we always judge ourselves on the quality of landing. This helped loads as I've been landing a bit flat since we escaped from lockdown.
Love your honesty mate. Really helps people believe in themselves. TH-cam is full of pilots that think they are god! Refreshing to see honest pilots. 👌👍
That was a very interesting video. You know I enjoy the banter you share with your students which creates a high benchmark for instructing and video making! 🏆 but I really enjoyed your comments on this one. I am struggling with my flying vlog for this week as I flew into a new strip which had tall trees and an 8m power line across the runway some distance in from the trees. Net result was a silent video but having seen this I will bite the bullet a do more in the way of an explanation voice over. Great stuff Lewis 😎 👍 👏 🇬🇧 Tim
I’m working on my instrument in a 172. My landings have become a bit inconsistent because of the long flights to knock out cross country flights. I checked out in the Archer a few months back and am trying to fly once biweekly to keep proficiency. Switching between mph and kias is also a challenge. Thankfully the numbers are very close. I want to get more experience in the Archer, so tend to fly with instructors. Next flight will be engine out landings. Totally understand and agree with your approach.
I've said it before, I'll say it again - I just love your honesty. I'm not too proud of my last landing either and I can't wait to hit that traffic pattern... cheers!!
Any tips on landings? From watching you And Garett and you and him are so smooth. I am on lesson 4 for PPL (maybe early to think I should know how to do it all well yet) and having trouble with some movement when it gets say 50-80 feet AGL, just seems to wander on me from center line, usually to right, and having trouble with meshing with CFI on what I am not doing to keep it straight
Great video as always, always need to revisit the basics! I have been having the same rusty landing lately, will use you techniques for practice.... And wait, was that a Cessna on you t-shirt in the beginning???😂😂. Thanks man!
I think this is my favorite video. I get frustrated easily when I know i can do something but off my game just a bit. Knowing a professional pilot still needs to brush up on skills only means i need to keep working consistently at it
This video shows what an excellent instructor you are...You want to make sure you are giving real world instruction to your students and I respect that a lot, as you said there is a huge difference between currency and proficiency, what a video my friend. Thank you again for sharing, as always stay safe.
This one was really fun to watch! Nicely done. How often do pilots take off or land without talking to anyone? My instructor said it happens all the time at the uncontrolled airport where my flight school was. I miss flying. Had to stop because I’ve been busy with work during COVID and now I’m on medication that would prevent me from getting a license anyway. But man, I miss it. Maybe I’ll call up the flight school and see if I can take a “rediscovery flight”.
Will you get Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 when it releases August 18:th? If you spawn in at Orlando exec. in a cessna and do a couple of touch and goes you wont regret it!
@@LewDixAviation Yes Sr. same as you did. I had to re-process the landing operation! but I think I got it back. I wast "flaring" and landing awfully flat and hard.
This is wild. I've literally been suffering from the same problem. For whatever the hell reason, I've been landing flat. It's probably the most frustrating thing. But I guess every landing can't be perfect, right?
I flew a PA28-180 (Hershey bar wings) for PPL, and my instructor didn't have me pull the power back to idle before touchdown. His thinking was that you already have a good descent rate with a good pitch, and completely cutting power in a larger plane could be a bad day. At most, I would slowly reduce power to keep from floating or ballooning but never completely to idle until the wheels were on the ground. With watching a number of other Cherokee pilots going to idle earlier, I tried to tweak my landings to reduce power substantially just before the numbers. This has resulted in less than non-gentle landings - nothing hard or anything that made me think I broke the plane, just not smooth. Any thoughts?
I have the same issue in a 172. I’m a student still, but my first instructor had me going to idle once runway was made. I changed models (M to S) and in the S it drops like a brick when you do that and I was slamming it down due to the increased sink rate. My new instructor has me keeping power in (stabilized) until just before touchdown/crossing the threshold.
It's all about airspeed control really. I find that if I'm coming over the runway at my approach speed, I can focus fully on the landing and not have to look at the airspeed again. Once I'm low enough I idle the throttle and hold the nose to where my eyes are looking at the end of the runway. The thing that strikes me about your instructors comment about the larger plane.... You're not flying a larger plane yet, you're flying a PA28-180 haha.. I actually use the same technique in the ATR. About 20 feet above the ground (it has callouts) as long as my speed is ok, I start bringing the power levers back to ground idle. It lands a lot flatter than GA planes so I don't bring the nose up to the end of the runway, but the rest of the technique is the same.
@@LewDixAviation It's been a while, but he may not have said bigger but rather other aircraft. For example, if you pull back to idle on the Kodiak I've been flying in X-plane, it will plant itself like a rock hitting mud.
I started my CPL training at the start of April. I'm going solo any day now. (Waiting on my medical) circuits have been a lot of fun and smoothing out the landings has been a great challenge. Your videos have helped keep me motivated. My instructor laughed the other day when I said welcome to the sky and said he likes your videos too.
Speaking of practice, do you ever practice in the left seat once in a while for when you make captain at the airlines? ;-) You don't happen to be left handed are you? That might explain it.....lol great job as always Lew!!!
So I’ve got 65hrs and preparing for my check ride but seemed to have regressed on landings to the point I’m struggling hard. I either level off too soon or little too late and then often don’t pull back enough in the 172P to ensure I land on the mains. Any tips or ideas on how to get my landings back cause my instructor is at a loss and so am I lol 😬
Your instructor should be telling you to look at the end of the runway instead of right in front of the nose. You might find your landings get better by doing that.
This is a free skill share. I’d love to help you out but why use skill share when all that informations on TH-cam or google? Any other way to help out?
🐥💀⚰️Let’s take a moment to remember the fallen. RIP Bird. That reminds me I have a memorial service for another bird I shredded on takeoff next month. Thanks LewDix Aviation!
I noticed you were tapping the radio button repeatedly a few times through out the video. Is it you just fooling around or is it an alternate way to communicate something?

How Lewis got his groove back.
Where did you touch on your last landing?

Wow what a small world!
Does he have a page ?
I know it’s old but how did you find KORL’s tower closed?
i noticed that the window on the left side is hanging open. i thought part of the pre takeoff checklist is ensuring all windows and doors are latched?
Fly a Cherk in 100+ degrees and you soon come to appreciate that little storm window.
You made the numbers
Speaking of practice, do you ever practice in the left seat once in a while for when you make captain at the airlines? ;-) You don't happen to be left handed are you? That might explain it.....lol great job as always Lew!!!
Nah I'm right handed haha.. I occasionally sit in the right seat, but for this flight the purpose was performing as an instructor in the right
That was a nice change up with no student im the plane.
I like the Pa 28
Do you use flaps 40 or 25 on most landings? looks like flaps 3. Still working on my landing technique and I keep bouncing on touchdown.
I use 40 degrees.. I only land with 25 if it’s gusting
Does ORL tower close early some days? I thought they were open from 7am to 10pm?
haha You're not alone in the confusion.. I'm finding that they open at 7am and close at 6pm recently
