Normal & Crosswind Approach & Landing - Lesson 1

[nealhere]

I have watched this video maybe nine times and find it valuable every single time. You covered seemingly all of the details about Crosswynde landings which is very valuable even to a instructor like me I keep learning from it. Thank you emery all the best Neal southwest Florida

After watching this video, my flight today really went better with my landings. I think this video is great for people who have trouble getting the flow of the landing and flare .

I have just watched this video for the 3rd time. It's pure gold.

The detailed flight dynamics description/narration was spot on! As 5 hour student pilot I must say Thanks for filling in the blanks!

Personally, I think this is the best explanation regarding using visual reference of the runaway length to determine the descending height and what decision to be made accordingly. This is the crucial point that many other tutorials overlook or don't explain clearly. Good job!

Starting at 5:12, thank you for a good and correct discussion of how to manage pitch and power to correct to the glideslope from below or above. It's a simple procedure but it's explained incorrectly in nearly all of the many videos I've seen.

Rod Machado has a really good YouTube video on how to know when to do the round out and clear properly.

For those without depth perception or with one bad eye, his method uses the geometry of the 2D picture rather than judging distance.

Try using this method if you struggle with judging distance properly.

These videos are great for me! I'm getting back into flying and they fill in the gaps in my memory. Thank you SO MUCH for making them.

I'm 4 hours into my training and I love this video! The graphics are so helpful for me, showing rudder and yoke action on a split screen is awesome!

Today i might get my first solo and this video is just great. Thanks for the upload and sharing information with people ! Greetings from Istanbul.

The best X wind instruction we've seen to date !
Short course is:
Ailerons are the LARGEST control on the plane & the LEAST understood !!! Ailerones ROLL to make turns, BANK to control DRIFT over runway, then provide directional control on roll out with AILERON yaw, as the wee little rudder stalls as relative wind shifts to the airport Xwind.

The seal at 9:40 was epic. Great video, thank you!

I've always been taught to use power to control height, and pitch to control speed on the approach to land, and then use the other resources only slightly. Not to use the two together at once. Too low = Increase power, and then pull up slightly once you've gotten the power you need to safely pull up without getting too close to stall. Too high = Decrease power, and then push down slightly. Too fast = Increase Pitch, and then decrease speed slightly. Too slow = Decrease pitch, and then increase power slightly if needed. This always worked well for me, but I've never used the two together at once on an approach to achieve a different outcome.

Great Video, speech slow and clear, easy to understand, and also to comprehend the message !

[MrCoincoin]

I wish my CFA would have explained me this way before landing the first time, instead of yelling all the time…

[elleholub]

This video was good with the exception of stating that if you're low you should pitch up. That thought process is very dangerous. If you're low, you add power, then to maintain your airspeed, you pitch up. But using pitch for altitude when you're already low and slow is what causes pilots to stall, and at an altitude that is too low to recover from.
Pitch for airspeed, power for altitude! It is correct that the two will go together, but do not correct your altitude with pitch, correct it with power!

I've been flying single engine planes for 20 years with over 1000 hrs logged. I decided to watch this. What has become 2nd nature for me was described in beautiful detail and I even learned some of the "why-s" that I didn't know before (or forgot)!! ;-) Great video! For those of you just starting out, don't worry...you'll get there!!

[gulambalakhanov]

Great lesson, beautiful animations.Thank you so much.

[lalawyer]

One of the best videos I've seen. Thanks!

[rezaesfahani]

The best vido ever I have seen for PPL training and a fantastic presentation of safe landing, thank you so much
