I’ve always said this. And now finally a video illustrating it perfectly.

The majority of rc “pilots” (and I use that term loosely) have zero clue how to land correctly. As a matter of fact they think that as long as they didn’t completely tear the airplane apart, it was a good landing.

I’ve seen it so many times when they tear the gear off and then laugh about it. Is not funny. You. Can’t. Land.

The term we use in the airline business when landing is “stabilized approach”. This means that you have to make sure you’re configured and on speed before a certain point, typically 3 miles from a final approach fix. If you’re not stabilized by that time, most SOP’s will call for a go around.

This video highlighted this technique perfectly. I like he said, it’s not a special skill. Its STANDARD PRACTICE.

Hopefully, pilots watching this video will finally understand how to land a plane.

The best lesson I have had so far! Thank you for your professional style narrative. I will do my best to emulate your technique.

That was excellent instruction. It was how I was taught to fly 45 years ago.

All valid points. Nice video. Nice camera work and editing😉. Very good educational video. Never seen a video like this on YouTube.

Good video. Thanks very much. One of my rules: A good setup = A good landing. If the setup is not right, then go around. So many jet guys feel they have to land on the first approach. If it's not looking good, don't try to salvage a bad setup. Go around and do it again. Also, it's a good idea to practice landing setup and go around. Dedicate one flight a day to shooting go-arounds. Happy Landings!

Smoothest grass field I've ever seen.

'Nice, long, low and slow', I love this empathetic approach. Set the aircraft up to stop flying in its own time. Let the plane take off, gathering speed, no need to man-handle the elevator.

Not coming in low and flat enough is a problem with almost anyone (regardless of the power plant) that has a problem landing in my observations. Once folks forget the 3 mistakes high and stop being afraid of the ground flying improves greatly.

Another helpful tips video. Thanks Michael ✌😊🙏✌

[Tom-wlsx]

Nice videos as always 👌 Learned alot from you. Keep on with the good work 🙂

Awesome tutorial and great textbook landings!...Thumbs-up from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷

[theburrell]

Thank you for doing this! I definitely have the fear that if I don’t come in hot it will fall out rather sky. I just wish I could build my confidence more on landings! Thanks again

[mosburnable]

Just wanted to send my thanks for this video. I have the f16 70mm edf and the strut pins on the retracts are fragile. Just rolling off the runway and hitting a gopher hole or something might snap a gear off. I’m getting much better and confident with my landing now. Thank you.

What are the beautiful flying fields very nice video

[JBuchanan]

What percent throttle are you at on your approach leg generally?

[chrisdavis]

On any airframe there are sweet spots.GET THE CG RIGHT.. So that it wants to come in at the smoothest angle of approach/ glide path.. You want it this way because in the event of power loss! = Glide path.. practice practice. Very impressive video!!

Can everyone just appreciate that grass strip? My club looks like the jungle.

[lextek]

Thanks. Good information. Working on getting rid of my bounce.

the Rebel is the sweetest flying turbine out just smooth and no bad habits...

[enriquekramer]

What you say for jets also applies to EDFs. That is my experience...
