Cessna 172 OWD Cessna Solo Landings - Norwood Flight Academy

Your approaches wasn't that good, but your landings were very good. If you just do better approaches, you'll be a great pilot.... I like your landings...

[rdfelty]

@SWE370 You are totally right! That was early in my training so I've improved a bit... but there's always more to learn. Thanks for writing.

@zinga1977 Thanks.

Hey nice video! I'm like you I love going back and watching my old videos from my PPL training. I've been using a Kodak Zi8 and I was curious what camera / mount you were using and where you are mounting the camera in the aircraft? Also curious how you recorded the audio from the intercom? Feel free to check out my videos or PM me. Thanks for sharing!

Halo rdfelty am at the 31hour mark and I know what you mean I hope to get my PPL within the next 6 months,which page has all your videos

[CaptBesweri]

Good work the final approach seems rather steep with significant nose down atitude is this due to obstacle clearence or excess altitude either way u made good recoveries

[rdfelty]

@CaptBesweri Yes, I made this video about 6 months before my check-ride and I was still learning a lot. You are right, these are very high mostly due to in experience level at the time. Fun to watch them again, so thanks for the comment.

@starraider113 There is a lot to say about flying, but you should mostly try to enjoy the learning, even when it gets frustrating. Also, pay close attention to speed control during take-off and landing especially. The better you get at keeping those numbers where they should be, the better everything will be.

Looks good. I have my PPL and fly out of KCON. How did you mount your camera?

Are you rated yet?

[rdfelty]

@Roudy1331 Yes, got my PPL in the summer. You should go to the full video page at rdfelty to see a lot of flying videos. Also there is a video called something like Recording My Flights which will explain the camera mounting.

[Roudy1331]

@rdfelty Great, good for you! I'll check it out. Let me know if you want to ever fly together. I am interested in going to Oshkosh this summer and need a fellow pilot interested.

Great video. Nice to have a controller in a good mood. I miss flying in the snow though after coming to live in Florida! ...Well, maybe thats a lie. I do enjoy summer all year round =] Some snow once and a while would be nice.

[SDDrewGS4]

Sweet video! Im about to do my first solo this week.

[rdfelty]

Thanks, glad you liked it. Let me know how the solo goes and what you thought of the experience.

The third one was great - touchdown right at the horn!

[rdfelty]

Not yet. Work, life, weather, colds etc. getting in the way, but having fun and inching closer. Want to get it done before my birthday in June.
