Ground Effect Management - KING SCHOOLS Video

An excerpt from King Schools' "Takeoffs and Landings Made Easy" course. Click here to purchase http://tinyurl.com/7bsgtjq

Did you know that an airplane flies better within one wingspan of the ground? In this video, John King explains "Ground Effect" and the two problems it creates.

KINGS Takeoffs and Landings Made Easy course
With this course you'll change takeoffs and landings from a trial to a joy. You'll impress your passengers (and yourself) with flawless takeoffs and landings even in stiff crosswinds.
Exciting live-action video puts you in the cockpit, at the controls, giving you the sight picture you need for approaches and flares that will have your wheels softly kissing the ground. You learn how to see at a glance whether you're too high, too low or off to one side and you'll gain the tools you need to put yourself right back on the rail. You'll even learn how to recover gracefully from the rare botched flare or touchdown. When you're done you'll be one of the countless KING students who say, "I learned to land by watching your course."

Thanks for the vid! Could ground effect also means that the air pressure pushed by the wing of a plane on the ground will push back against the wing so it will make it float?! I am looking forward for your answers. Gooday and have a nice flight!
