Cirrus SR20 Landing ORE 3-6-10.mov

On March 6th I flew from Norwood to Nashua, NH for a UCAP meet-up breakfast. The landing video at Nashua is also on this site. From Nashua, I flew to Orange, MA (KORE) later that day and this is the video of the landing there. It was a very nice early spring day for flying and I got some excellent views of the surrounding area during the approach. This is an un-towered field and they do a good bit of sky diving from this airport. So you'll mostly hear my calls, but after I land you'll hear a back-taxi call from the jump plane heading out. You have to back-taxi on this runway because the taxiway intersects the runway part of the way down and so to take advantage of every bit of runway, you have to back-taxi a bit. You'll also hear a pilot friend of mine say hi to me on the frequency. He was in the pattern at another airport that uses the same frequency, heard my voice and call sign and said hi. You'll see me say hi back, although that was clearly stepped on by another transmission and so not heard by anyone. And I didn't really want to call again because I was a little busy at the time. Again, this video uses three HD cameras and UNICOM audio. Enjoy.

thats one weird yoke

[rdfelty]

@madzane94 It actually works quite well but it is different.

@rdrd4544 Thank you for watching and for the nice comment.

@RogueKnight12866 I saw on a webpage about aviation communications that most aircraft avoid airports that use MULTICOM over UNICOM or ATC? Why avoid MULTICOM airports? And what is MULTICOM exactly?

[RogueKnight12866]

@RogueKnight12866 But I see from looking up information on some of the major international airports near me that even places like Albany International and JFK International Airports have UNICOM alongside with the ATC tower. What would UNICOM be for at a major airport if ATC is available there 24/7? I would think it'd be easier and safer to communicate with the control tower and get directions over communicating with the UNICOM station which if I remember can't give ATC directions.

@rdfelty Thanks for the information sir. I began an interest in aviation radio communications since believe it or not watching the movie The Langoliers. In one instance, the pilot who was on board as a passenger switches the radio to a frequency and transmits an emergency message to UNICOM. Not often that a commericial airliner would use UNICOM or MULTICOM, right? If I remember correctly, UNICOM is mostly for small airports without an Air Traffic Control tower or when the tower is closed. Below

@RogueKnight12866 Engines generally reserve their full power setting for take-off and any time you need to climb. Otherwise they work best at a lower setting for optimum fuel flow and cruise speed. Generally if you stay at full throttle in straight and level flight you will over-heat the engine. There is certainly a more scientific explanation of that, but in general that's the way it works. Yes, Multicom is sometimes the way to go.

@rdfelty Why don't you go at full power in flight? I would think that is needed. And have you ever communicated via MULTICOM as opposed to UNICOM?
