Late Side-Step Landing - Poor Decision? | Matt Guthmiller Debrief

- This is a review of a video I was requested to take a look at on a youtube comment of a flight instructor taking a late side step approach decision.
We will take a look at the decision making process used and debrief whether the manoeuvre was flown in a safe manner.
These aviation influencers who film their flying, particularly the instructors have a responsibility to promote safety. Do you think that is happening in this video?

Absolute mad lad. Can’t believe you reviewed my request. ❤
I had to when I saw it!
Been watching him for a while and he seems to be getting more and more ragged with his flying. Seems to be only a matter of time until it bites him. Hard.
I only heard of him a couple of days ago when someone asked me to look at this scenario. The couple of things I watched gave me Trevor Jacob vibes...
I agree, it pains me to see how reckless he is becoming. Compare him to other aviation youtubers like FlightChops who have a very safety-first mindset and it looks downright dangerous.
It’s a Bonanza, not a swept wing jet. No aileron input will cause the wing to stall (even a half scale deflection like you see there and might in just about any gusty crosswind). The stall horn going off in the flare isn’t unusual for any landing. I don’t think it’s a poor decision to elect to do something you know the plane is perfectly capable of (like landing on a 1300’ runway for instance), but it certainly would have been to not go around had we not been on the ground by the 1000ft marks, even if we could stop in 700 or 800ft because then there would be too little margin left.
I’ll tell you what, when you’ve matured a bit and have a few thousand more hours under your belt, we can have this conversation again and see what you think then, if you make it that far. Until then I can only recommend that you consider carefully what you’re uploading for people with less experience and skill levels to see. The people who are impressed by this and the people who are trying to learn from you and other aviation content online will have a large overlap. Something to think about…
@@Taylair no pilot should go out and try something just because they saw it on TH-cam, just like they wouldn't attempt a demonstration at an airshow. How many thousands of hours do you have under your belt anyway?
That's not really how it works if someone considers you an authority on something or looks up to you. Not sure how much teaching you've done, but you can spend a lifetime trying to enforce safe good decision making, and the second a student sees you do something "cool" or cutting a corner of some sort, that's what they want to copy.
I've not totalled up my hours since last year but somewhere around 7.5 - 8k now and have had people I know lose their lives and/or waste perfectly good airframes because they made a poor decision when there was a much safer alternative available. It's almost always the decision making that gets people and this is where the training lacks any real substance. Perhaps you might have a decent platform to improve this gaping hole in GA training with the large following you have.
Matt did a cool thing or two, he went around the world.
But he seems to have caught the invincibility delusion.
I hope he realizes this.
This is why I stopped watching his channel. It's entertaining, no doubt, but given the number of dangerous and reckless things I've seen him do, it felt wrong to encourage him to make more content like this by giving him more views. Sadly, I'm not sure this side step landing is even the worst one.
I haven't gone digging... I don't think I want to!
@@Taylair Yeah - for sure. There was one he did in his L-39 where he was low on fuel, but decided to try to weave his way through storm build-ups, rather than turn back or make an extra stop to fill up. Not near as dramatic to watch as this landing, but the same reckless decision making. Yikes!
