Well spotted! The clearance in that part of the video is for a touch & go, the landing shot is from one lap later. Combined the better explanation with the landing shot in editing. Actually have quite a few bloopers that were cut out 😉
At slow speed flying, like at landings, as you said you use pitch for controlling airspeed and throttle for altitude. What about direction? Let's say you drift a bit from the center line, would you correct with ailerons or rudder? Just started to learn landings and I feel a bit goofy :)
Good question! On approach you would use ailerons as primary way to correct direction, but that also means using a bit of rudder at the same time to stay balanced like in any normal turn.
Nice landing. Question, that's a Piper right? My Piper's POH says not to engage the carb heat during landing, my understanding is that is a cessna habit. Your thoughts?
This Piper's POH says the same, use carb heat when icing is suspected. And don't use carb heat at full power. But the school procedures require carb heat on on downwind and turn it off for a go-around (to avoid the full power issue). So I fly this one the way they want it flown. Cessna is indeed different, they recommend carb heat on at almost any power reduction, because the carburettor is placed differently making them more susceptible to icing than the Piper.
Hummm, I have been pulling power out once I think I can make the runway. You waited to do that at level flight over the runway...any particular reason why? (Long runway etc...)
Yes, I've seen people pull the power when over the threshold. It works fine for typical small training aircraft, but it's not a great habit. You get a more controlled landing (and easier to teach) if you break it down into steps: 1 approach, 2 round out, 3 slowly reduce power and flare at the same time. After a while steps 2 and 3 go very close together if you get a bit more experience. Another reason to not just close the throttle over the threshold is that if you do it in something slightly larger like a Cessna 182 they tend to drop the nose, or a DA42 will create lots of drag from the two props automatically going to fine pitch and practically stop flying. So for students that want to move on to bigger things later it's better to have the throttle in their mind not linked to crossing the threshold but linked to the flare.
@@FromtheHangar thanks for that detailed explanation!!! I think also the fact that you fly a better and more consistent pattern from base to final than I do. There are some points where I am super high and need to get down..and I just learned how to slip..Thanks for your response!!!
😂 Those were mandatory during the Covid lockdown here when renting a plane, also had to disinfect all the controls when returning it. Recently we're allowed to fly with more people again, but now it's mandatory to wear a face mask which really doesn't work for recording videos.
@@FromtheHangar well that answered my question. Lame rule. I get it… but, still lame. Surprised they make you wear a mask too. Wow, strict! The gloves need to go, the covid doesn’t spread well at all from surfaces, especially if the plan is disinfected every time.
@@rick15666 Jup, it was very strict. Took several months until we were allowed to fly with an instructor again, now everything is mostly back to normal.
Very clear. Nicely done.
This is awesome! And the intro is super well done! And different angles:)
Thanks! Looking to add another camera in the future
This has been the best and most informative flight instruction video I've seen, just gained a new subscriber
Thanks!
Love the way u explained it
excellent video
Thank you very much!
Well done man I learning a lot , thanks 🙏
great video thank you. I think you're going to be an excellent instructor.
Great, inspirational video! One day this will be me.......... eventually 😏
Good luck! Have you done any training yet?
@@FromtheHangar Hey... I've had a couple of lessons, don't have a dedicated trainer yet though
Very nice training style.
Thanks! Great to hear
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
that was an awesome demo
Thanks!
Thank you for this.
Good video thank you.
Did you get clearance for a go around but then land?
Nice video regardless

great job!

It would be great if we saw the controls as he explains things, instead of his face. If he articulated a little more it would be helpful too.
What’s with the Playtex Living Gloves?
😂 Those were mandatory during the Covid lockdown here when renting a plane, also had to disinfect all the controls when returning it. Recently we're allowed to fly with more people again, but now it's mandatory to wear a face mask which really doesn't work for recording videos.

Which plane ?
A Piper PA28 Warrior, it's a very common training plane
@@FromtheHangar thanks
Wearing nitrile gloves? Covid?
Indeed, we had to use gloves for a while when renting planes. Luckily not anymore.
Whats with the gloves?
They were mandatory here during Covid lockdown, we also had to disinfect the planes between rentals.
@@FromtheHangar 🤣🤣🤣
🙈 Now we can only fly with passengers if everyone wears a face mask... Try that with warm weather and sunglasses, instant fog
@@FromtheHangar time to move to a free state!
😂 I do actually have an FAA license as well...
It’s the only thing that scares me when flying.
What's the part that scares you?
@@FromtheHangar just landing in general, drifting to the side to much, hard landing, etc
please drop the background music. it is distracting.
👍 I've tested a few different settings in later videos also with the background/engine sound, will keep experimenting
Thank you.
