Cessna 172 Took my co-worker Alex for a flight.
All the credit for this video goes to him. He has an amazing sense of camera.
I always wanted to see how my gears close to the runway and he did it.
Could be used as a nice crab technique demonstration for crosswind landings. Cessna 172

  • how do u know what runway is which from the air??

  • @jm431 That's why you are supposed to study the airport chart and know the runway/taxiway positions. You need to visually confirm and anticipate the picture you will have when approaching the field. And of course at the very least you confirm visually by looking at the number :)

  • On a scale of 1 to "OH FUCK", how hard is landing?

  • @WJValente Flight sims are good for learning certain aspects of flying (rules of the air, use of instruments, etc.), but actually flying the airplane is completely different. Even the full motion flight simulators I used in flight school weren't very accurate in that regard. I find it MUCH easier to control and maneuver the airplane in real life. And it's a lot more fun ;)

  • @jm431 airport chart. heading indicator, looking outside

  • awesome :D !

  • nice landing dude! I see so many 3 wheel, mis-aligned plops on youtube! It's nice to finally see a skilled stall speed greaser.

  • Good cameraman good pilot = superb video !

  • @WJValente not that accurate at all

  • And how accurate is Flight Simulator X to real life flying?

  • How long did it take you to professionally learn to land the plane successfully?
