  • Thank you for posting all the Vids. I am wanting to get my Instructor's Cert and watching folks like you teach really helps me out. Plus, to be frank, a GREAT way to refresh too, no!?! Seriously though, thank you for posting.

  • @210482fmj

    all your gizmos will be faulty aswell, a currently changing altimeter, faulty pitot readings, please dont try flying in a hurricane. only in fsx.

  • @210482fmj

    with 100knot tailwind this cessna would fly without enginer power. Cessna in this case can go 160knots. If you fly 160knots, the wind is 160knots. Yet they always seem to be able to make 1000's of flying hours.

    In other words, no it wont damage the plane directly.

    Other that then in a cessnas case 100knots will force it to stay in the air no matter what you try and eventually cause the plane to crash. 100knots is a hurricane, dont expect to land soon.

  • Wow talk about off centerline and hes trying to instruct a video on landing lol

  • lets see how many comments i can make....

    -he looks like santa and his voice is unbearable

    -the person filming on the RIGHT side seat was to the LEFT of centerline upon touchdown

    - you don't ever want to land with a tailwind for obvious safety reasons

    -you used the entire runway because you came in WAY to high, not just cuz of the tailwind..its cuz u cant land a plane.

    I cannot people like this get certified to instruct..its truly scary

  • his voice is very annoying

  • do general aviation aircraft have a limit on the tail winds they can handle? would a 100knot tail wind damage them? assuming for arguments sake they coudl fly in the upper jet streams would it rip them to pieces even if it was a tail wind and not a headwind. does a higher ground speed still cause stress to the airframe in the way a faster airspeed will

  • LOL.....If you have good judgement of attitude and power/descent profile, you can still land on your desired part of the runway, despite having a tailwind. You just have to descend to a point where you will start your flare earlier. I'm not condoning tailwind landings - it should never be done, I'm just saying don't use it as an excuse for landing 3/4 the way down the runway.

  • 53 people are scared of flight, let alone flying on their own

  • Why is this guy landing with a tailwind???
