Screamin' landing in a Cessna 182 Skylane after a slam-dunk from ATC at SLC, had to lose 1700 ft in about 2 miles, while being admonished to maintain maximum forward speed due to a regional jet landing behind me. Fun landing, great confidence booster.

  • It's a Cessna 182, I was doing about 120 kts at the beginning of the video. I agree that being able to do a short approach is an important skill, a form of it is even a required commercial ASEL maneuver. To CFITOMAHAWK: I'd never dream of cutting flaps in ground effect as you suggest; too much potential for negative transfer, and all it'd take is grabbing the wrong handle in a complex airplane just once and you've got a gear-up landing on your record. Land as long as it takes, or go around.

  • Not a wise choice. Not because ATC tells you to do something you need to comply with specially if it poses a safety issue. Next time say "unable" . I had a similar experience in Rapid City Regional and I circled and gave way to the CRJ behind me rather than doing an unstabilized approach.

  • @paradox95 No, it also has to do with angle of attack and the way air is flowing over the "hole" where the buzzer is. The buzzer "hole" is located on the leading edge of the wing - the forward most section of the wing. It should have some YouTube videos of this (how air flows over the surface of a wing).

  • @DRaG0NREdZ thnx for the info. but why did it buzz since the plane touched on the ground? false alarm?

  • @paradox95 it's called a stall buzzer and it goes off usually in conditions when the aircraft is about to stall (a warning basically for when the plane is about to fall out of the sky).

  • 0:30 where you playing the flute at the same time? lol nice landing

  • For being so fast, that was incredibly smooth. Congrats!

  • lol @ brake marks!

  • I like it. Just fly the plane right to the airport and land. No use waffling along on long final, waiting for your plane to fall out of the sky.

  • Good job keeping your head screwed on.
