This illustrates part of the decision process as a pilot-in-command. Sure, to the observer the approach looks bad - I personally would have binned it pretty early on. However the pilot knows that he has the option to go around, and as long as he is happy with the approach - however hairy it may look to anyone not actually at the controls - then he is ok to continue. Just because it's unconventional doesn't make it dangerous. A foul-weather approach can be much more hairy than this!
Well it looked a bit scrappy but yes, he walked away from it, ergo, good landing ;) It just goes to show that a good approach is not necessarily a prerequisite for a good landing.
Just don't let the CFI see the video, hehe....was he watching, btw?
@brayanh3rnandez Glide slope? what glide slope... just anticipate the touchdown point by picking a certain point on the windscreen (typically 1/3 of the way up) and fly towards the anticipated touchdown point.... It was a visual approach. hurpa durp durp...
I've landed on the nosewheel of a 172...THANKFULLY there was no prop strike...I just damaged the strut seal. You're landing apparently did no damage...so all is well!
Other than being slightly off centerline (which you corrected), this is a pretty good landing. It didn't look as though you pounded the nosewheel at all. Don't be too hard on yourself. :-)
Ok it was a bit flat, but other than it was great landing, if was safe landing its a good landing, afterall landing is just pointing the nose at the ground and hoping for the best!
eh its not to bad, i had worse, had the prop strike the ground. same situation controller asks for a very short final, inexperienced me having a go, ending up causing the jet behind to circle for 20 mins haha. ok the paperwork afterwards wasnt so fun.
I've seen worse. As my dad always told me when I was training..."make that centerline look like it's right in front of you and don't loose it!" He has to tell that to his co-pilots a lot also :~ Not too bad though...I saw a terrible one in a bonanza a few months ago. I have about 60hrs in an A-36 and you FLY the plane on...this guy just chopped off the power and let it slam onto the runway!
@5150dhbiker tell your dad to tell his guy co-pilots to point their "little birdie" on the centerline like there's a pretty girl at the end of it. :) 9 out 10 times those pilots will hit that centerline.
@SuperApparition Well, you posted this comment a month ago, the poster has also posted replies dating back one month, and stated that he is flying a Piper. I think you are mistaken.
hahahaha gotta love the pa38-112..... I think you were a bit fast... didn't flare enough. usually the stall horn is on for a good landing in the tommy. Dont worry though ive definitely had my fair share in 'interesting' landings!
That looked like it could've been a centerline landing. I suspect there might have been a crosswind, because when you were at the right-bank angle on final, it seemed like the airplane didn't turn right, more like the other direction. So there might have been a crosswind from the right. I'm not a trainee, or an instructor, or a pilot or anything, I'm just saying what I know and what I think :) But I personally I think the landing was fine. Well done!
Not THAT bad really. I couldn't tell if it was the angle but it looked like you slipped to get down quick and just got stuck with too much airspeed over the runway. A little flair and you'd have been fine, long...but fine. I take a lot of pride in my landings but in all honesty I'd have to admit I've had a few that were much worse than that. Keep flying and thanks for posting a bad one!
Am sure u have moved on and now make main gear touch downs - some questions the pattern seemed irregular wiht base leg to close to the threshold - were you avoiding something?
It also appears you had too much workload - steep descent, unstabilized approach
@paulkoan As PIC, you can always reject short final approaches by saying "unable to comply". Actually, you didn't do too bad if that was one of your first short finals.
@JonPurdue7 Yeah, knowing you can do it and doing are two different things when you are inexperienced - everyone else appears to have more authority when in fact it is the opposite.
But I was learning of course - I wanted to have a go!
@paulkoan Looks like you were coming in hot and didnt want to flare because you would have ballooned. My airport is always asking for weird stuff and this is really common. IE: you have traffic six miles out, your choice to keep it tight with minimal time on the runway or extend downwind.
Also looks like you had power in, whenever I get this request the power goes idle slow down and add full flaps. Make a continuous turn to final (like the fighter jets coming off the perch) and it should work
@CaptBesweri -- Doesn't see so far to me. I only have one rule of thumb for pattern distances. HOW FAR CAN I GLIDE. If you're in the pattern at pattern alt and your engine fails will you be landing in the dirt or on the field?
sure its all about Aeronuatical decision making to ensure flight saftey, i typically have the airfield about 3/4 way up the wing support beam on a C172 during the downwind leg, and have been able to glide to the air strip in simulated engine failures on the down wind leg, This works out to be at most 1 NM a way from the rwy during finals wiht the plane at 500ft AGL and doing about 65Kts before applying flaps in favourable wind conditions
That wasn't so terrible. Seemed more like a 3-pt than landing on the nosewheel. I've 3 pointed a few times. You just have to flare and stay lined up w/the centerline. And fly the plane all the way down. When I learned I'd quit flying the plane and just let it come down. And I'd always be off! lol
Ya know I see a few videos on here of instructors teaching students to make a super tight pattern for an inexperienced pilot. It all started when you didn't have much time to get lined up on the runway. It also looked like you weren't at the appropriate speed either. Though I realize this was 3 years ago, I wouldve asked to make a bit wider pattern until you learn. You did a great job though!
@novsierra No point in instilling bad habits with a wide pattern. That said, it generally doesn't need to phenominally tight either.
The problem I see is that speed wasn't properly controlled (too fast) on the approach, hence the flat attitude on the initial touchdown. Get the speed set properly, and it really won't make a difference if you do an approach starting 2 miles back versus turning 1/2 mile final.
you got her down, all is well, really not that bad. And coming from someone who has done all of his training at a class C airport, you aren't gonna piss anyone off if you go around, in fact, go arounds should be practiced, even if you're landing the plane very well every time. of course if you are asked to land and hold on the runway you should do everything in your power to do so, even if that means adding power and "relanding" her if you have too.

@saboter123 I'm assuming you mean keep power on until you reach the piano keys, keep your eyes down the end of the runway and hold off the flare for a bit before touchdown..unless your doing a glide approach.. or so I have been told
Congratulations, you just qualified for the Japanese Imperial Navy's carrier squadron! Just kidding...that was actually rather fun looking! At least the YouTube boys didn't show the annoying vuvuzela/soccerball icon on your video, consider that a compliment!
Take offs are easy....landings.... hmmm ... not so much. I am a student pilot and I too struggle a bit with my landings... you walked away...plane wasn't damaged... I would say that was a good landing. Keep practicing and they will get better.
@sinkingrob11 Well, with students you get all sorts of landings. Let's just say, since I started as an instructor, I have a new found respect for the strength of aircraft undercarriage.
I remember a few landings in particular, I was expecting to see the oleos punched clean through the top of the wing :P They sure can take a beating those little warriors.
...a landing without any resultant casualties (besides dignity) is a bloody good landing! Commended my friend ;) But a little practice couldn't hurt...
I can't pin a decent landing on a flight sim...yet I can manage a half decent landing in LSA or as we call them here in Canada Advanced ultralights, my first few were bumpy but since i walked away from them i figured they were decent.
I suspect that you are actually a very good pilot and feel that this is a bad landing because you normally grease it. Tight approach but not usual a little bit of a bump but always difficult to tell on a video. Did you land on the nose wheel? Flight sims cannot model the characteristics of landing a light aircraft so I would disregard any comment from how they always do better. They are ok to practice intrument flying and navigation but not much else.
Every landing that doesn' t damage a plane is a good landing!
Here we could talk of if he could pass a checkride like this, but in other aspects, it's not anywhere bad at all. Actually I had flown even worse-ones taking the wrong base leg for approach during light to moderate crosswind.
Thats cause flight sim isn't like that. You make a mistake in flight sim and theres a reset button, you make a mistake in real life and lives are at risk.
your approach was less than stellar. Need to hold that center line A LOT better. Also shift your focus to the treeline at about 40' and then your flare will get better.
Bad approach is more like it...nbd though

With that amount of runway for such a small aircraft could you not have taken a little bit longer before putting it on the tarmac?

Landing wasn't bad - approach was truly awful though...not lined up with the extended centreline etc. We've all been there.

yeah, I wouldn't have filmed that if I were you, the point is to try and show off lol.

Take offs are easy....landings.... hmmm ... not so much. I am a student pilot and I too struggle a bit with my landings... you walked away...plane wasn't damaged... I would say that was a good landing. Keep practicing and they will get better.

@paulkoan is that smart air's plane ?
and if so is that AYD or BNT
i did 10 hours in those plane before switching over to helicopters at bright helicopters
marsteriq 1 year ago
@marsteriq Yeah it was BNT
Helicopters eh?! Nice. I had a short (15 min) intro into helicopters a long while back, and just trying to keep the thing upright was hard enough

in aviation i've learned 2 things
a bad approach ends with a bad landing...
and the 7tips of "fly safety org." of an stablished approach.

Didn't seem too bad to me :P I'm an instructor, I've seen worse :D
Always difficult to judge a landing from a hand held camera in the cockpit though.
At least you know what went wrong and the causes. You learn next to nothing doing things correctly.

@sinkingrob11 Well, with students you get all sorts of landings. Let's just say, since I started as an instructor, I have a new found respect for the strength of aircraft undercarriage.
I remember a few landings in particular, I was expecting to see the oleos punched clean through the top of the wing :P They sure can take a beating those little warriors.

...a landing without any resultant casualties (besides dignity) is a bloody good landing! Commended my friend ;) But a little practice couldn't hurt...
airbird747 1 year ago
too fast, too high and too damn eager to get it onto the runway. When in doubt go around - what would an airline captain do?
alexfair8589 1 year ago
This must be how you get a good landing on MS flight sim as every thinks it's good, It is a below average landing, even the pilot thinks so.

I can't pin a decent landing on a flight sim...yet I can manage a half decent landing in LSA or as we call them here in Canada Advanced ultralights, my first few were bumpy but since i walked away from them i figured they were decent.

I suspect that you are actually a very good pilot and feel that this is a bad landing because you normally grease it. Tight approach but not usual a little bit of a bump but always difficult to tell on a video. Did you land on the nose wheel? Flight sims cannot model the characteristics of landing a light aircraft so I would disregard any comment from how they always do better. They are ok to practice intrument flying and navigation but not much else.

Every landing that doesn' t damage a plane is a good landing!
Here we could talk of if he could pass a checkride like this, but in other aspects, it's not anywhere bad at all. Actually I had flown even worse-ones taking the wrong base leg for approach during light to moderate crosswind.

It was not a "bad landing".
It was not perfectly centered but it ain't a wrong maneuver.
stefanorso 1 year ago
I dont even dare to land in flight sim like that!
JimexJimex 1 year ago
Thats cause flight sim isn't like that. You make a mistake in flight sim and theres a reset button, you make a mistake in real life and lives are at risk.

key is
Good Approach = Good Landing
your approach was less than stellar. Need to hold that center line A LOT better. Also shift your focus to the treeline at about 40' and then your flare will get better.
Practice makes perfect.
