Landing a Cessna 150

[Leandro1701]

It was a nice landing!!! Congratulations man!!!

[glamterra]

nice vid, seemed a little fast though?

[helobelow]

Great job!

[timmy3822]

that was a lovely landing! really smooth. I'm starting my PPL training next month in the 150 can't wait!

[bikestoho]

any one heard the saying with the runwaylights that are normaly off to the right of runway?

White over white fly all night.

Red over White your allright

red over red your dead.

In 1985 I visited, with my dad, William R. Novak on his ranch in Kansas; He owned all the jigs, molds and other apparatii for the prototype Cessna 165, a plane that never got produced.

BTW, davidwattsjr: You're hired.

[Honechky]

Nice Cessna 150, unlike the new Cessna 162 they plan to build in China. Write Cessna and tell them to check those jobs here in the USA.

[SenorSpode]

Correction: Make that a 160. Only one was made and the sole prototype was scrapped in 1974.

i think you use no flaps in this landing... nice touchdown

[thejackal9mm]

Low and shallow, just how I like it!

What a coincidence...I search Cessna 150 and cme up with a landing at Gladewater as my first vid...I live not too far away in Tyler!

[mahnarch]

Nice.

Like the others, though, low and hot.

Good save!

I'm a pro at the "Chop and Drop" myself.

money landing man

[ecarfar]

Man, you brought that sucker in shallow and hot! Did you use any flaps?

[davidwattsjr]

Long time ago, but I generally used 20-30 degrees on this little 150.

[EveningsGlory]

really low, but very nice and straight and smooth. Good job.

[belvueboy]

i did a few hours training at swanton morley norfolk it was a bit expensive for me "married!" so gave up but my son bought me a flying lesson at norwich school of flying 25years later and mentioned id done a few hours,much to my surprise the instructorlet me take of fly it round gt yarmouth and land it on return,the landing was fine and i was really chuffed. because i hadnt done a landing and had been agonising for 25 yrs whether i could pull one off

[mzarum]

Nice landing. And right on the numbers. >Driving it on> or >full stall>? Different techniques for different times and conditions.

[rambotnik]

great landing...I still prefer the firm rather than the greaser landing.

[HunsV]

Perfect landing. Full stall is nice but in the 152 (& probably 150... haven't tried) I find if you carry in a teeny bit of power you can really grease it.

[WriterBryan]

Neat landing.. It's all good. On a nice day like that, why risk stalling it out when you're too low to the ground. I just like to keep the yoke back until the nose falls after the landing, but who cares?! It's not the end of the world, that was a good landing.

[1fighterpilot]

Nice landing, I agree with with tail wheel though. But great landing it was impressive, nice directional control.

[tailwheel]

Nice landing, but you are driving it on. Try full stall landings - nose high, stall horn blaring. Less runway used, less punishment on the gear, and greater mastery over the machine. I used to do the same thing till I checked out in taildraggers. Found out full stall ldgs are the best in both types of a/c.

Cool vid, nice landing.

Cool video man, I'm taking my practices on a C150 and I really enjoy flying this beauty!

See ya
