Cessna 182 - Approach and Landing at Medford, OR

[Agora2021]

Nice video, also enjoy watching the ride.

[codzomz]

this is one of the sexiest aircraft ever known to man kind! I just took my first flight in one today with a G1000, and after that (even without 100 hours of 172 and warrior time in) I feel like I am getting spoiled!

NICE !!

[slider116]

Is this turbo ?

[codzomz]

@slider116 yessir! well you have the option of having turbo... but who wouldn't!

[paco291]

Nice sounding engine... i love those 540's

[strongbowblade]

what was that loud beep for during landing?

[jbarcahall]

That's the stall warning horn. It's great when that goes off right at touchdown; indicates the pilot did a really nice flare.

[fredglitz]

that was the stall warning...........when you land you have to 'flare' which causes the aircraft to stall and drop onto the tarmac. if you don't you will bounce

[NicAndJoshComedy]

this is what we train on in the Civil Air Patrol, the civil air patrol is the youth air force auxilary

[trainfreak7745]

flying is fun and easy with smaller aircraft like ceesnas and some beechcraft,mooneys and so forth

[tubeparker23]

i hope that beep beep beep was your NAV radio!

[andreguzz]

Very good video !!!!!!!

[SandpiperN121PP]

Very nice video! I thought your turn from downwind to base to final was quite agressive... but still a great landing! :)

[phishstyx]

I thought the base turn was not the least bit aggressive. I wish more small GA pilots would fly tight patterns. It's safer and more efficient, especially at busy GA airports. Tired of following some 172 driver who apparently thinks he's flying a 747.

[PGAtourchampion]

Nice landing. Good video as well.

Hi Seattle just a question, when you were on final for the straight in approach, Im not too sure but did you idle your your enging before the flare? Im asking because it didnt sound like it I could be wrong, and I didnt notice any cross wind on final for such a manouver.

[seattlepilot172]

I honestly don't remember in this case. My standard procedure in the 182 is to leave a bit of power in on final, just to manage the sink rate, and then pull it just before, or during, the flare...

[alexklashnikov]

i live in klamathfalls, OR thats bout a 10-20 minute flight its a pretty nice flight in good weather i fly it all the time

[avitech77]

It looks so difficult to fly a plane. I don't think I could ever figure out something so technical like that.

[alexklashnikov]

hey im 15 and i am 3 months from my rec. pilots licenses if i can you can

[s0s1mpl3]

you have to be 16 to fly solo and 17 to get your private pilots liscence. FAA rules. sorry

[CannondaleRider]

RECREATIONAL Pilots License.....14 to solo, 16 to get the license.

You are right, it's age 17 to obtain a PRIVATE Pilots License, but you can still solo at 14..

[fspilot92]

Well once you know what u r doing it is easy and very fun to fly.

[raythespy]

A lot of people believe that but it really isn't too hard. After taking lessons it will seem quite easy. I actually like flying more than driving(until I pull up to the fuel pump in my 182 lol)

[notar1]

don't see much 182's & 206's around anymore

[jessemedic]

I am not a pilot, but I do get to fly in small aircraft often. Usually a Cessna 206 or a Piper Seneca 2. Flying in small aircraft is a lot of fun. Thanks for posting this video.

[peterbeebee]

Great video. I'm thinking about getting a recreational license and this helps make the decision. Post more when you have them!

[romeo9k]

Was this actual IMC?

[seattlepilot172]

Maybe in the first 40 seconds of the video or so could be couted as IMC. But as far as the actual approach procedure - no, that doesn't count as IMC because there was reference to the horizon. In real life, even if you fly on instruments all the time, you don't get to log that much of actual IMC time.

[seattlepilot172]

The beeps are an altitude alerter on the autopilot. It beeps when you deviate from the preset altitude, or whenever you're approaching the preset altitude (as you're climbing or descending). The autopilot itself also beeps the same way when you disengage it.

[0takop]

Looks like a lot of turbulence. That beeping in the back, is it your GPS or your Wind Shear indicator.

[millz311]

slick!

[zeturion]

Nice
