Best Cessna 172 Landing

[RaptureThis]

Greaser!

[MeridenStudentPilot]

That is a 15G24 Knot wind I've flown into airports like this and it was 15 gusting 22 and it seemed liked it was around 8 knots Great Landing!

[ritualghost]

no fucking way that was 15 g 24... bull shit

[SkyWayMan90]

@ritualghost reread the video info

[dave22387]

I'm a CFI in 172's and I would call that perfect great job!!!

[SkyWayMan90]

@dave22387 Thanks, don't let those students kill ya!

[flythec152]

that is NOT a 15G24 knot x-wind

[SkyWayMan90]

@flythec152 wasnt directly off the runway, but those were the reported values!

[emp29]

Mega greaser! 

[warhammmer1000]

greatgreatgreat!!

[2drewbaker]

I stalled a 172 about 2' or 3' AGL, making my head-phones come off, and thought I did wrong. My instructor said, that was fine.....you know she is on the ground to stay and no harm done.

God rest the soul of Ron Luthart, my instructor. He died at home at 0' AGL. 

[2drewbaker]

Very good, I lke to hear the stall warning while landing.

[sanchezgabriel94]

When did you touch the runway?

[SlashTruck]

what's the landing speed in the cessna 172?

[CMSgt367]

@SlashTruck I fly in a 172M and my instructor says shoot for 65-70

[abrahamim]

@SlashTruck 65 kts

[hogey74]

yep that was nice - normally even a good landing will make a handheld camera bounce everywhere - so that must have been slick.

[sebassuarez93]

nice landing man, learning to flare here :)

[POSTgoodVideos]

I did more than 250 landings this is far better - good job

[MyPilot747]

hi

[appleglory]

God DAM that was smooth.

[mrmschmit]

gorgeous



[VroodenTheGreat]

that might be the most perfect landing vid of a 172 I seen yet

[kplay12]

LOL mypilot747 is a little kid lol

[coxairman]

well done!

[MyPilot747]

hows that a crosswind landing?

[chrisklein21]

@MyPilot747 why is it not?

[MyPilot747]

cool

[MyPilot747]

wow

[eduf15]

very nice!

[MyPilot747]

its funny how when u land in a cessna u always stall the plane before touchdown!

[SkyWayMan90]

@MyPilot747 Ya so that joke was way over my head...kinda like you would be in your 747, right?

[MyPilot747]

Yes. I usually fly 747s and 777's.

[aolambros]

@MyPilot747 Haha it's funny cause you are a liar

[MyPilot747]

no im not go fuck yourself bitch

[aolambros]

@MyPilot747

First of all: Your immaturity in your reply leads me to believe otherwise.

Second of all: I suspect there is no such 747 or 777 pilot in the world (Which most pilots who fly the heavies are above 45) with as bad grammar as yours.

Third: Your posts and your inability to detect sarcasm (as shown by the reply from the owner of this video). lead me to believe that you are <12,

Fourth: You have videos of you and your 12 year old friends playing.

Do I really need to go any deeper?

[aolambros]

@MyPilot747 Ah, what the hell.

You have a video showing yourself in a school bus with another 12 year old playing.

You videos in general suggest you are a liar.

Last time I checked you can't fly 2 aircraft simultaneously at a company. You fly one constantly and if you get upgraded you move on to another one.

Do yourself a favor and stop pretending to be someone you are CLEARLY not.

[MyPilot747]

You need to leave me alone or I'll report you to Youtube for harassment. And then I will Block you

[aolambros]

@MyPilot747 Harassment? Haha you need a life lesson. Oh and no need to block me, I already did.

[MyPilot747]

good i dont need any of your crap just go fuck yourself in your little geek hole. BYE AND DONT RESPOND

[aolambros]

@MyPilot747 What are you going to do about it? Start lying some more?

[64wing]

@MyPilot747 you mean you RIDE in 747s and 777s? Because at age 19 you would have had to pass your checkride on your 17th birthday, reach your instrument, commercial, and ATP ratings and then log 3750 hours each year since then to even be realistically considered for hire at an airline. So unless you get up and fly 10.3 hours every single day, I'm throwing a bullshit flag on your claim here, sir. Now a flight simulator on your computer is another story...everyone can do that

[MyPilot747]

I lie about my age and im not 19. Please mind your own business

[64wing]

@MyPilot747 well all I'm going to say is that if you lie about your own age we have no reason to believe you about anything else...I'm not trying to start shit with ya boss, but just keep in mind that the rest of us in the aviation community don't need anybody putting us in a bad light. Don't reply to this one and you won't hear from me again

[aolambros]

@MyPilot747 Removing your age and your videos doesn't change the fact that you are a 10 year old pilot wanna be.

[MyPilot747]

go fuck yourself

[MyPilot747]

Listen i'm not 10. I'm a 46 year old 747 captain and how would you know i removed some of my videos? You were stalking me so bye u homo

[MyPilot747]

EVERY1 AOLAMBROS IS A GAY STALKER HE HAS BEEN STALKING ME HE IS A DESPERATE GUY SITTING AT HIS COMPUTER IN FRONT OF HIS YOUTUBE INBOX WAITING FOR A COMMENT FRIEND REQUEST OR MESSAGE HES A GAY LOSER

[MyPilot747]

go fuck yourself

[64wing]

@MyPilot747 I'll just fuck my stewardess on my 747, way better than my hand...you should try it some time lol

[MyPilot747]

too bad that the stewardess is a guy....wait...thats what your looking for

[64wing]

@MyPilot747 I believe the term "stewardess" refers to the female flight attendants and the males are called "stewards." Not that you would understand the nuances of aviation terms. 

[MyPilot747]

then go have sex with a steward

[64wing]

@MyPilot747 lol nice save sketch...

[appleglory]

@MyPilot747 you're a joke mate.

[domemvs]

@MyPilot747 technically there is a stall!

[coxairman]

@domemvs isn't it supposed that the stall warning goes off a few knots before the actual stall? so actually when you land the plane you are not in a stall you are just flying it as slow as possible.

[75niteowl]

@MyPilot747 The plane doesn't stall. The stall warning goes off 5-10 knots above stall speed. If the plane stalled, it would drop hard because it is no longer flying. Landing at stall warning speed allows for a descent at the slowest controllable airspeed and thus, a smooth landing.

[HDOnlive]

@MyPilot747 hey troll whatsup ?? your comment makes no sense. you fail !

[frauspi]

@MyPilot747 The stall horn is designed to sound 5-10 kts above the actual stall speed.

[Super3851]

The 172 is a very forgiving aircraft and Oh so fun to fly.  I learned in it and it took me all the way to a 757. Good Video. I still love flying it.

[traineepilot57]

Nice Job man!

[flanksteak2]

Was like...you landed on cushy pillows. Nice touchdown. I couldn't even tell when it occurred.

[megachengky]

Nice and smooth landing

[CaptBesweri]

man u should be flying jets, you are too good for the C172, i could hardly tell there was a cross wind the approach was perfect

[joerox135]

EXCELLENT LANDING! That was beautiful especially in that great of a cross wind!

[FlyerJuan]

Great video and landing! I actually fly a C172, and its very normal where i fly to have crosswinds and turbulence, besides me being a flight student, not yet a commercial pilot, i think i can tell it was a great approach and landing... Your crosswind landing technique was applied perfectly, nice job...

[timjackelton]

Thanks for the video enjoyed the landing, Great pictures.

[timjackelton]

Great pictures, Thanks for the video, it now on my favorites list.

Tim Australia

[TheCessnaMan]

Nice Landing

[Lrusso99]

wtf is that noise on touchdown

[hugo634]

@Lrusso99 Thats the stall warning horn. it goes off when you are approaching stall speeds so you know to increase speed. on landing you should be fairly close to stall speed at touch down so thats why its going off. i always hated that thing when i was practicing my power-on stalls.

[Lrusso99]

@hugo634 oh alright. I know you land small aircraft like this with the stall horn going off. I've just never heard a stall horn that sounds like a dying bird!

[lexer000]

@Lrusso99 That's the stall warning. Normal sound.

[slickshoesken]

thats a greased landing if i've ever seen one.. if it wasn't for the stall warning horn turning off i wouldn't have known when you've touched down.

any tips you can give us buddy?

[SkyWayMan90]

Thanks! I'm far from a master, but just relax and try to feel what the airplane is doing. Don't fly the airplane as much as you help the airplane fly itself...make tiny adjustments and trim, trim, trim. Set your seat to the same place for each flight and memorize what the runway picture looks like when you're during the flare. Hold the airplane off and let it gently touch down. After a while, it's muscle memory.

[slickshoesken]

when you lose sight of the runway during flareout, where do you look for reference?

[SkyWayMan90]

If the nose ever gets that high, you're pretty deep into the flare. You should only be a foot or two above the runway, so add back pressure to cancel out the feeling that the airplane is dropping out from beneath you (called "holding the airplane off"). You need to be pretty quick to catch this feeling, but if you can, you will grease your landings. Learn to anticipate it and to fly the airplane judged on where you feel it moving rather than what you see forward or on the instruments.

[slickshoesken]

@SkyWayMan90 What about during gusty crosswind conditions? do you still use normal approach speed? i fly the C152 and do normal approaches at 60 KIAS but during gusty wind conditions especially combined with crosswind I am so freaked out by the +/- 5-10 knots fluctuation of the needle that I do the approach at 65 KIAS on a 2100 feet long runway with high tension wire obstacle of around 50 ft on the usually "in use" runway

[SkyWayMan90]

@slickshoesken The FAA recommends adding 1/2 the gust factor to the final approach speed you calculate from the POH. For example, if your speed is 60 KIAS and the winds are gusting from 12 to 20 knots, the gust factor would be 8, so you'd add 4 and do your best to maintain 64 KIAS. Stabilize your approach at this airspeed and aim to touch down a few hundred feet down the runway. You should have no trouble getting a 152 into 2100 feet. Good luck!

[slickshoesken]

@SkyWayMan90 Hi I've uploaded one of my crosswind landings. Can you spare time to watch it and tell me what I should improve? I really want to land like you did in this video

[s1cky11]

wing down approach? not much crabbing going on but looked pretty flat as well

[SkyWayMan90]

What about a wing down approach? It is not a required technique for a crosswind approach and landing. Please explain how a C172 with 30 degrees of flaps could land nearly full-stalled (listen to the horn) but flat. Note the change in AOA from 0:59 to 1:02. You are mistaken.

[s1cky11]

it was just a question numb nuts, no need to get twitchy. I said flat, i meant wings level - my mistake on that, but looks head-on so i was asking if you were approaching wing-down

[SkyWayMan90]

Oh. Thanks for the comments!

[heyeh91]

smooth!

[anaducks10]

where was the crosswind?

[FlyinTheNetherlands]

I once had something like 37 knots crosswind. But I fly the B737, so it's not as much as 37 knots for a Cessna!

Nice landing!

[raheemb]

Nice...

[youfungs]

really a nice one, stable and slow. Good job!!

[chris5812341234]

nicee landing 5*

[gullygully69]

What was the squealing noise from about 0:55 on?

[SkyWayMan90]

That's the stall-warning horn, an instrument designed to warn pilots of an imminent stall. It sounds as the wing's angle of attack approaches the critical angle of attack. The pressure at the wing's leading edge drops, sucking air out of the device and over a harmonic reed to produce the sound. Thanks for watching!

[braziliannutts]

It is the stall warning horn

[DBZTheLegend]

lol thats not a crosswing bc , Good Crosswing Landing doesent have cap leter...

[SkyWayMan90]

I hope you can sim better than you can write. Out of curiosity, what is a crosswing landing?

[737Pilot122]

Who are you asking?

[keeevan]

for a crosswind it sure dosnt look like your crabbing much, dosnt even look very gusty but dosnt detract from a fantastic landing.

[SkyWayMan90]

I remember thinking the same thing during the approach. It probably wasn't much more than a 10 knot component. Thanks for watching!

[muchegryffyn]

What was the crosswind on that one? Beautiful landing either way, good job.

[SkyWayMan90]

Check the comments  :)

[docutzi]

ok ... where's the crosswind?

[tordenbob]

Niiice landing, with the crosswind and all! :)

[pompeiafa]

Veryy veryy smoothh veryy nice.Thnaks

[alvleonel]

great landing! congrats, really really smooth!

[youtrein]

Very nice landing! congrats

[BN2AV8]

Smooooooth!

[MyPilot747]

i agree

[SkyWayMan90]

Thanks! I think the 172 is the greatest airplane out there to learn on. Unfortunately, this one isn't mine, but it's my favorite one to rent when I want to take up friends or family :)

[Robb389]

bravo ;) learning to fly in the 172. great airplane. is that your plane?
