2 Landings. Flying Skylane G1000 in rain at Boeing Field (KBFI) Seattle, then later that day at Paine Field (KPAE) Everett, WA. Plane is N716LR, based at Northway. I'm flying (Kevin) as I explain to a friend what is happening. Song is "Keep Hope Alive" by Crystal Method. You can see headquarters for Amazon.com, also Safeco & Qwest Field in Seattle, Space Needle too. HD camera used, click "watch in high quality" if you have fast internet.

  • Do you have any tips for landing. I flew one today so I can get my high performance endorsement and I noticed it is very heavy at the nose and flaring is a lot tougher than the usual 172 I fly. Any tips would be appreciated.

  • Dear hafunny2, Yes, I agree the 182 drops very quickly if you pull the power all the way back. I configure the plane for landing speed (around 75kt) with some power in, never idle. The plane then lands fine. Also, never chop the power, even during the flare, just slowly let it out. Hope that helps?

  • @KD1video Alright I'll try that tomorrow when I fly. My instructor had me configured for 65 on short final and chop the power. I'll try a little more speed and keep some power in. What do you think the manifold pressure is around when your in your flare?

  • @hafunny2 Well, I tried 65, and had the high sink rate you are talking about. I'm flying the 182T, with a 3-blade prop. My instructor had me at 95-85-75 for downwind, base, final. Manifold? I'm thinking 15, but don't quote me on that. I would pull the power all the way out, then add just a touch, and just keep it at 70-75 on final.

  • Nice Video...how do you get the ATC dialogue onto the camera sound?

  • Thanks. If you have a camera with a mic input, you can use a patch cord adapter to plug directly into the intercom system to record all cockpit communications.

  • @hafunny2: this is the pattern formula for the C182(non-turbo) that I teach my students:

    downwind (abeam #s): 15"/10 deg/95 kts

    base: 13"/20 deg/85 kts

    final: as needed, usually around 11"/30 deg/75 kts

    keep power in until starting the flare, then slowly to idle. also, run nose-up trim throughout the flare to decrease elevator forces, which are much heavier than the 172. it makes for a smoother arrival. if you're light, say pilot only w/ 1/2 fuel and light winds, you can use 70kts on final.

  • Impossible to hear atc over the background music.. otherwise nice vid.

  • @KD1video Ok sounds good I'll try it today. I also fly a 2005 C182T with the 3 bladed prop. So I'll just try 70-75 on final and keep a little power in and see how it goes. Thanks I appreciate it.

  • You have any tips for landing the 182 since it is so nose heavy? I just started flying this for my high performance endorsement and boy is it tricky to land.

  • i want ot get the piper arrow or this when im older
