"I learned about flying from that..."

[knievelhotmail]

that's textbook landing when there's someone holding a camera onboard.

[ffaller3]

Nice save. We all go thru these landings. It just sucks that it happens when passengers are onboard. And the perfect ones tend to happen when ur alone.

[dmimcg]

You suck. Who gave you flying lessons, John Denver.

[zcg3]

I got your girlfriend...

[81Mattlawrence]

A little high on final. Try going around instead of diving for the numbers. Oh well, I've had some pretty horrific ones myself...

[Blazingspitfire]

good centerline pride.

the laugh is creepy though.

[Blazingspitfire]

Sounds like one of those yellow rubber duck we put in the bathtub...

[rambocivilairpatrol]

you can log 4 landing for that day!

[ashrazor911]

U were coming to high buddy and then u dipped too soon should have gone around :_)

[plsniper]

Another recovery method is to just pull back a little and hold it there. You might baloon up a little, but the speed bleeds off quickly and you'll settle back down with the correct speed.

[RocketBird120]

good recovery

[jdutchak67]

trim that nose up mang!

[coxairman]

sorry i was sitting on the squeaky toy....

[AlevliTurkGs]

sounds like baby doll suffering.

[wezpaa]

@AlevliTurkGs Its the stall warning :)

[cadetsmith1]

My instructor always told me... "It's not the smooth landing that impresses me, but the recovery from a botched landing."

[Zachey2001]

@cadetsmith1 Thing is it takes piss poor technique to have a botched landing like this one. I would have taken the controls from this guy, went around, and made him try again (with my hands on the controls the second time).

[radtech21]

When you added power I thought you were going to TOGA. Good move.

[Avatar230594]

HOLD IT OFFF!

[cskog001]

good addition of power to avoid PIO (pilot induced oscillation)

[fortress1133]

That was funny! The stall siren was like the plane going "Ow!" "Ow!" "Oooooowwww!" LOL! Better than some of my landings.

[mxochimera]

True fact:  The guy holding the camera -always- embellishes the bounces.

[AcepilotC172]

What airport is this?

[pilotman012]

@AcepilotC172 Crystal MN; KMIC

[micahmx85]

good thing you added power if not you could of gone into a porpoise like effect and really messed up the gear

[75niteowl]

Sounds like you have rubber ducky tires! LOL.. Good landing.

[FlightLevelHeaded]

Remember-

Always replace your divots!

[HaNaNvr]

Look, you only need to traning with T\G (Touch and Go) landing, and after some landing I sure you will succeed. You came little high and i suppose too fast, you not have to make stall in the landing, just try touch down in 60-40 knots.

Good luck ;)

[BorisKnoT]

How much degrees pitch can you do before tailstrike or wheelpads damage?

[DelfinoDelphis]

It's nice you put the video. This never happened to me yet, but sooner or later will, so it's good to see it on yt first ;)

[plsniper]

Too fast and flared too late. Flare a little earlier and slower as you bring out the power. Earlier and slower flare will give you more control and more feel.

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

Are you alive?

Can you use the plane again?

Then it's a great landing.

[UTSCoachKen]

Take it to VNY (16-Left) !

[stealhty1]

touch down carring extra speed,should let float some more

[rev4life03]

Hey 3 touch and goes! you just did your 90 day private pilot passenger currency haha!

[meinshnake]

a good landing is one you can walk away from, a great landing is one that you can use the plane again...

[MrDanieldb]

the third landing was perfect:)

[superzkid]

looks fun! great landing.

[tubedude101]

you dummy you pull the nose to far down and the tip of the prop hit the ground

[MegaPascal31]

Lol nose gear felt that one :)

[shadowblade145]

Ah! I knew it was MN! I live there and Crystal Airport is just a few minutes away from my house! I am not old enough to get a Single Engine aircraft pilot's licence yet but just a few more years, and I'm there!

[jordanlythgoe1303]

it sounded like a duck when it first touched down

[TheFsReview]

a good landing is one you can walk away from

a great landing is one were you can use the airplane again



[zoeylilcuds]

hahahaha that was still a good landing you can still use the plane one more time and nobody got injured so in my book that landing is the same as any other good job! btw i would love to see that landing from the outside!

[lewisreagan]

I have done worse. You didn't "porpoise" the aircraft - that is key. It stayed on the centerline.

[ZZstaff]

@unapro3 Quote, "...a great landing is when your wheels chirp onto the runway and you hardly feel a bump. The landing in this video was utter crap!"

Although I normally make soft landings, even at night they are not technically perfect. A perfect landing is when the aircraft stalls and the aircraft falls 2 or 3 inches onto the runway. Although a slight bump may be felt, the aircraft will no longer fly, especially after the flaps are retracted.

[raoulrazer]

practice makes perfect.

[denverJPUE]

haha after one of these learning experiences my instructor jokingly told me to call the tower and ask if we could go back around and pick up the rest of the airplane.....it happens, all the time(dont give this to cnn cuz the faa will be all on this and they will make a huge deal about it jk lol good job)

[stealhty1]

practice , practice , practice

after all it was an good job

[brettharkins]

we all have bounced a few times. Does anyone know how to purposely bounce several times(like six) I saw it in a movie once and it looked like it really could take some skill to do it

[armanys2003]

If you want to purposely bounce, Lon your nouse gear. Don't hit the ground hard just make sure you are landing nose gear first, it will ensure you couple of bounes.

[mcref]

ulai wtf you talking about. 32 is the runway heading. Stop pretending to be a pilot.

[Ulai777]

You non pilots have no sense of humor, and I bet you know all the air regs too, and who to call if you see someone scud running!

[dotey10]

haha, squeek...squeek...squeek....BO­OOM

[AirspeedAlive]

Well, you got your currency out of the way for the next 90 days!

[Ulai777]

I did that at Airport 32 myself a long time ago in a 172!

[AllenRockwell]

@Ulai777

"Airport 32" huh? You do realize that the "32" is a runway number right? It means that the runway is located on the 320 degree compass heading.

[armanys2003]

Oh dear, it's not the airport 32, you missed the airport 32R. How could you miss such an imporant detail.

bahaha (sarcasm). I am a real pilot and i've got bunch of videos of my own on my profile if anybody is in dount :)

[Ulai777]

I guess inside jokes are called such for a reason! I am a pilot, and have been one since 1982.......was flying solo before I had my automobile license. I plan on posting some takeoff and landing video's when I get a chance. They are interesting because it is a grass strip about 1800 feet long with wires on one end and a ditch on the other!

[jjacobsjr1]

I hope there was not a landing fee, you would have had to pay twice.

[Screamer210]

Just flew into there, used the same runway, night time. Good demo video, we've all been there, good tool for teaching others!

[scout005]

It's called "crow hoppin". Too much speed on short final, got the nose wheel in on the touchdown and bounced right back into the air. Nice recovery. You got on some power quickly, otherwise you might have had a much harder touchdown. Well done.

[logo10heli]

I think we've all been there. This counts as multiple landings, right ?

[sugaryanyan]

Hmm...that approach was steep. I would definitely go around.

[stealhty1]

ROOKEEE

[PaulBilobrowka]

Approach was too steep and too early on the flare. Not too bad though, except for the fact that you tried to save the bad landing. You have the option to go around and if this happens again I strongly recommend it.

[KazGrafix]

any landing you can walk away from is a good landing

[chris5812341234]

haha rubber ducky

[flyboy8492]

LOL!!!

[alextoft]

Too high on approach old bean. You're still a man if you go around :)

[flyboy8492]

red over white and your all right. VASI is right every time, he was just right on glide slope.

[taupehat]

Stall horn sounds like a rubber ducky getting squeezed. Nice save at the end :)

[seoceancrosser]

4 landings every 90 days.  I guess you are an over-achiever. That was funny!!!! and fun to watch!!!

[pizamoto]

... the guy holding the camera embellished the bounces!!!...

LOLOLOLOL

[Airundermywings]

yeh these happen to even the most expierenced pilots, but you saved it nicely!

[abus777]

Good save!

[badzwa1]

hahahahaha I love the boucing of the video camera.....but yes it happens to the best of us!

[juanstudio]

Approaching too high and superslow.

[ShaneAdelaide]

Agreed, the VASI was certainly red!

[qballs27]

2 landing fees :-) happens to 80% of us at some stage,the other 20% lie!!! check out my videos of flying in ireland, please rate and leave your comments,cheers

[stealhty1]

are you sure you not flying an grasshopper

[pilotman012]

Ah, but a great landing is one where you can use the airplane again. This is a video of a great landing.

[FoulOwl]

It's actually pretty good...you got to log four landings right?

[slickshoesken]

rofl 4 landings to a full stop

[unapro3]

@pilotman012 ahh, that old cliche', a great landing is when your wheels chirp onto the runway and you hardly feel a bump. The landing in this video was utter crap!

[jofus2019]

@pilotman012 You're right. All my landings end with the plane being written off.

[Faucon551237]

@pilotman012 Definitly NOT

[LethalHobo]

A good landing is one you can walk away from

[N44949]

true that

[Jet3800]

the stall horn sounds so funny!

squeee THUMP squee THUMP squee THUMP squeee eeeeeee THUMP

[helmetfire150pilot]

i've seen much worse!,

Type in, "What a Scare!" if you want to talk about bouncing.

[venturi117]

well, if it makes you feel any better, your approach WAS right on the glideslope!

[lejink]

well, youre on the ground and the aircraft is in one peace.. could have been worse thats for sure

[tintinjsy]

thats 3 times landing fees please!!!!!

[OwnedByMyGran]

I liked that joke

[GingBread]

Took a cute girl flying the other day and had two of my shittiest landings ever! Murphy's law I guess. I blame it on the different sight picture in the straight-tail vs. the 172 SP. Ha ha. Or wind shear. Speed got low so shoved the nose down and added power and then ballooned and floated. Then got a two-fer on the landing. But I maintained the centerline and she didn't even think it was bad!

[saevaroa]

I say in your support we the fellow pilots of the world should start landing badly whenever a cute girl is in the airplane. That wil make them all think it should be like this hehe ;-)

[elcasquito]

upsss! that was ugly!! hahaha honesty and hummor . hey don't feel bad i have done many "ugly ones" myself. Where you able to fly the plane after that??? then it was a good ......

[dalemllns]

any landing you walk away from is a good landing

[ncn8ochaser]

thats the damn truth!

[gypsykingg]

@dalemllns Only bad pilots who don't hold themselves to any descent standard say that to make themselves feel good about being a horrible pilot.

[surfinglexie]

Lol.....no good landing....not bad either....you corrected it in the end....; )

[bleborio]

1) it wasn't that bad, i've seen worse

2) i'm so glad to read just good comments (at least the first page of comments) i hate when people write annoying things

[gsxr750k2]

You didn't beta the prop. :) I like transdrole's comment, I'd love to hear a computer callout like that. LOL

[smilymez]

You can't beta the prop in a 172....

[gsxr750k2]

That was kind of the center of the joke.

[transdrole]

60-30-10 oh..uh...10...uh...10..lol

[ice9fetus81]

what's that funny "phuffff-phuffff" sound?LOL.reminds me of a baby shoes.

[ma11achy]

Its the stall warning. When you get below a certain airspeed (as you normally do on landing) it will activate. Different aircraft have different warnings. This one does sound a little off :)

[cnnnncnnnn]

Very well handled!

[timmy2trigger]

Any safe landing is a good landing. 10% crutch power would have helped or quicker power upon first balloon to stable the flare. I've done those many times. In the past. lol

[gluepilot]

Been there, done that! It's great to have passengers that don't freak out. It wasn't dangerous, just embarrassing.

[dustziggy]

This happend to me after going from a grass to a tarmac runway. Grass you can pretty much just dump it onto the ground without bouncing

[adambeller]

The nice thing about those landings is you get to log 3 on one pass.

[judah192008]

hahaha yeah!!

[Thurmanmerman525]

hahahahahaha

[jimmcc51]

I say good job! I hear how you added just a touch of power to keep from a hard 2nd or 3rd touchdown. BTW: those are the strangest runway stripes I have ever seen!

[darcougar]

i can tell they are seasoned pilots cuz the first thing they do is laugh lol

[dewbydo]

Bravo! exactly what i would have done, though i must say i usually come down with a 10% power to work as a crutch

[Alenthas]

hahahaha

[jmr604]

lol.. that was a good one.. this one made me laugh at the end.

[darcougar]

yea ive heard that same kind of laughing after a couple of my landings lol

[BB992]

wat was so bad about the landin? sure he was hi at frst, but thn he caught on and landed really well

[dpgtime]

I've seen a lot worse landings by private pilots....that wasn't bad...and i think the camera guy shook the camera too much. Keep it up.

[pilotman012]

Hey Roadie50, it is not that bad in fact flying when it is cold makes the airplane act like a rocket. The really cold air squeezes all the moisture out so 10SM or better every day is a regular occurrence.

The downside is it can be uncomfortable in the cold, especially for passengers in the back seat where there is little or no heat. When it is --10 F, you just don't fly.

Just hangar the aircraft, use an engine blanket and block heater. Once the oil temperature is up, you are ready to fly.

[roadie50]

What's is like flying here in the winter? I'm thinking about moving there for a job... but was wondering if planes will even start. Do people wait 4 months to get ice off the wings, or hanger everything? Thanks so much
