Must be a student pilot. You don't need to find the trim with your eyes. The trim is always in the same location. Never take your eyes away from watching the runway when on final especially to find the trim crank.
@brando617 really nice, used to fly a 60's vintage 140 some years back, handled beautifully, better it seemed than some of later models I have flown for some reason. Preferred the roof trimmer also. Thanks for posting.
Duskydrive, he's probably using the cabin speaker. I know my old 172 has a mic and external speaker. There was a time when many pilots didn't use headsets.
Ahhh....the 140, love it! nto old enought for my licence but ive flown it before and it is truly a great plane, i also lobe the 16o....dont ya love those yokes?
the cherokee 140 also has the trim wheel in the well between the seats, my flying school has 4 cherokee 140s two have roof trims and two have trims between the seats.

Specticle yoke and roof trimmer, must be an old 140, mid to late 60's build I am guessing.

ummm... in most small plans you can't hear tires... its the jets that land fast enough to hear tires.
rubber314chicken 3 years ago
wrong, you can hear the tires speak when you touch douwn in most small planes
sk8forlife99 3 years ago
okay, my bad. I just never remembered hearing them when I've been up in a small plane.
rubber314chicken 3 years ago
its ok, if you do happen to get a landing were you dont even hear a squeak, its a big accomplish ment
sk8forlife99 3 years ago
That's what we call a greaser... I used to do those in my Musketeer almost every time unless there was alot of wind. The 140 squeals every time....

funny to find a video where I have often flown the same approach to 23 @ mmu in my 140b. I am now flying out of ksmq if you are from the area.

Nice landing. I hate the position of the trim wheel... I guess that's one thing Cessna did right in their planes.
juxtapilot 4 years ago
I would take the Cherokee trim over the Cessna any day! While we are going there, mechanical flaps are better in my opinion too.

i agree with juxta, the cessna trim wheel seems more "natural" to use.
