I used to be on the Research and Advisory Board of Aviation Week Magazine. Then I was in the US Navy, and their reporters found me onboard an Aircraft Carrier. They dismissed me from the board because they said I don'r represent GENERAL Aviation anymore,and that I represent CARRIER BASED Aviation.
General Aviation and Carrier Based Aviation have a sort of rift between them.
Let's see... altitude: 21,000 feet. Speed: 520 knots. Level flight. Course: zero-niner-zero. Trim and mixture: wash, soak, rinse, spin. You did good Bill! I was not worried the least bit.
Nice to see a high quality video of general aviation. Im in the midst of flight training currently, and its one of the funnest hobbies and careers out there.
Great Video.!! Mounted Camera? Looked like the landing was not on the numbers. I learned off an 1800 foot strip and on the numbers was a must. And I carried that on to my students too. If we missed touch down by 200 feet it was a go around. My instructor required this even on a 10,000 ft runway so we didn't get out of practice. Happy Flying from Newman ShrineHillRail
@ShrinehillRail Touching down on the numbers on a 6,300 foot runway in a turbine airplane is pretty much frowned upon. Those big wide stripes about 1,000 feet down are generally where touchdown should be. Thanks very much for watching.
I loved it! I was born & raised in Akron. Thx 4 sharing.
