  • Landing is one of the most challenging parts of learning to fly. And bouncing is one of the most common landing mistakes we all make. Let's look a few scenarios that lead to a bounced landing, and how we can change our technique and way of thinking to make smoother landings.

    I had a bounced landing a few weeks ago. Added power, leveled out, and landed with plenty of runway to spare. Joked with the tower I was logging all three of my landings.

    Too many GA pilots carry excess energy in the approach-result-multiple bounces. Related to this, few take into consideration a reduced landing speed (Vref) due to reduced aircraft weight. Commonly POHs only cite a single approach speed and this is for max weight. Vref could be a good 10 kts less with a single pilot in a Cessna 172-your CFI likely won’t know that.

    Momentarily peek out the lower left corner of the windshield and the pilot door window and you will actually be able to gauge your height above the pavement. In a tail wheel airplane such as a Stinson, you can’t see over the nose when the plane is on the ground. So we look out at the leading edge of the wing to gauge pavement height. Use two fingers on the yolk and don’t do a death grip. You will “feel the plane” and the movements will be smooth.

    Don't "flare." Level out inside of ground effect and leave it there. Let the plane slow itself down.

    Great video again. Paul Bertarelli from AOPA talks about how long runways and huge pattern sizes from tower controlled fields cause many pilots to develop a “take as much time as you need” habit of landing. All good for safety, but it does kill off good skills. My instructor would challenge me to exit a runway by a certain taxiway without excessive braking to teach how to land on the numbers - smoothly - rather than drift down part the fixed distance markers, after I got good at landing smoothly.

    Love this video - I’m still working on my PPL and struggled with bounced landings for a good minute. The concept of power management really changed things for me and this is a great video explaining that relationship since I didn’t really understand why I was bouncing. The feeling of the ground ‘rushing’ up to meet me is so true and very different. My instructor flew several approaches with me shadowing the controls just so I could get a proper sight picture.. this really helped get control of power management without looking so much at the G1000 - at least for me. Now working on cross wind landings ha ha

    Its been months now trying to improve my landings in flight sim. Learnt different concepts, none worked out as the best. Watched this video at work and tried as soon as I got back home. Landed C152 very near to stall speed, 0 bouces and -28 FPM (Don't really know much about this atm), no ballooning and impact 1.01G. Only thing to work now is side slip.
    (I used Gees - In game landing analysis) Thanks! 🌟

    Thanks for video. I’m about 12 hours into flying and was struggling with this. Usually carrying too much speed with full flaps and then bouncing or ballooning or combined! Then my instructor had me approach with zero flaps. What a difference. I got a better understanding while floating a few feet off runway of the finesse needed and getting your speed set well in advance.

    A thing that helped me don't know if it will work for other people is to just apply a steady light pressure back on the yoke instead of actually moving it.

  • @jimmydulin928
    @jimmydulin928 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    All the landings in the video were too fast. Perhaps looking at the airspeed indicator for stall airspeed. Vso is an out of ground effect number that has nothing to do with either takeoff, in low ground effect, or landing, in low ground effect. Wolfgang's "stall down" is much easier with power/pitch, but the poor energy management of ACS requires a round out and hold off. So practice hover taxi with full flaps and quite a bit of power in low ground effect. Hopefully you will learn to dynamically and proactively move the yoke fore/aft to stay level in low ground effect. When too fast, this elevator trick and feel for just about to touchdown height will help.

    Now trying to flare along while putting in cross wind correction - side slip and keeping straight and centered.

  • @erich930
    @erich930 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I just made both those mistakes on a solo cross country I did yesterday for my instrument rating!
    Landing 1: forgot to flare. I landed very slightly nose first, bounced and porpoised. Landing 2: flared a little too high, almost smacked down on the runway! Landing 3 back home was flawless of course. 😏
    I feel like the video coming out today isn't a coincidence...

    I tell students an airplane bounces because it can. Meaning it's still flying because we touched down in a condition(s) still able to support flight.

    The reason you have bounced landings is because cessnas have absolutely NO shock absorbers. The wheels bounce off the runway like a basketball 🏀🏀🏀.

    If I was to sit a pair of scales.
    On one side (a slow landing stops bounce and shortest stopping of the plane).
    Fast landing, quicker TOGA if required?

    My second solo I bounced like hell..I came in to fast, realized what I had done a bit too late to correct the speed for a smooth landing. It felt like it’d never stop bouncing and by this time I was in panic mode, I should have done a go around but I was scared to death and drew a blank mentally, it was the first time I had a sketchy situation without my instructor with me. Learned a good lesson and gained a bit of confidence, it wasn’t the worst case scenario( well it is for a student pilot, in the moment😂)but I was able to keep control of the plane enough to land safe enough. I’ll make double sure I never do that shit again, praise the Lord I turned out okay.

    Best landing video I have seen so far. This is what I am doing while learning to land these days. Rounding out too early but couldn't understand why the outcome is so terrible and why my instructor immediately pushes the throttle all the way for a go around. This video explains it perfectly. Thank you!

    • @Southwest737
      @Southwest737 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For the most part, yes, except for landing at stall speed. Jet aircraft land a bit faster than stall speed, and have ground spoilers that will prevent the airplane from coming back off the ground due to access lift.
