Hi Frank, I'm not sure how advanced you are, and whether that 3 pointer was just the result of the tight turn for the forced landing, but if you have been landing flat, you'll enjoy it a lot more if you hold the nose higher after the flare. The low wing Cherokee lands in ground effect (Where a Cessna 172 would drop you onto the concrete) so once you're close to the ground, around a metre you can pull the control back and the wing becomes a big air brake to slow you down. The control keeps coming back (as long as the stall warning isn't going), and you should get a nice tyre squeak as the wheels spool up on the concrete, and no bump. After the mains touch, the nose slowly lowers as the speed drops off. Doing it this way, you'll never slip into a wheelbarrow like this one.

 

Thanks for the tip, yes this was early in my training, I think I have better mastered the landing in both the C172 and PA28.

Yes, a PA28-180 youhave a good eye.

Was that a Cherokee?

Hi everyone,

Enjoying a bumpy flight with Lisa Marie and Dani in a Cessna 172. It was great practice on crosswind landings, including wind gusts on landing - lots of fun.

Enjoy the video:

cheers,

Too much speed is bad, but too little is worse. You will survive overrunning the landing area, better than stalling short..

 

Flaring is what you do every time to get rid of the last bit of lift.

 

I get a bit scared sometimes with tricycle drivers, they all seem to touch down way too fast and then use the brakes to slow down. I must admit that I am out of practice with tricycle types, having logged two landings in the last 3 years.

Hi everyone,

Practicing a Forced Landing (Engine Failure) at Valencia International Airport (LEVC) back in October 2015, interesting landing crossing over the industrial area next to the airport.

Enjoy the video

Cheers,

My Cessna 177 RG (Cardinal) Experience

This is my Cessna 177 RG experience, it was a very positive experience, unfortunately it was windy with a strong crosswind from the right on the runway. In all, it was great. Thank you to my instructors.

Great undercarriage landing gear view.

Enjoy the video. Cheers.
