Scotty the "Snowman" Landing at Big Bear City Airport L35

Scott Landing at a High Elevation Airport, 6,752' Elevation. The Density Altitude was 8,500'. Take off was not a problem, and we had about 400'/min, about 23 gallons of fuel on board, and just two of us. We had lunch at the cafe, so our total passenger weight was 390# for the 2 of us, plus our flight bags. The Archer, with its 180 Hp engine, did an adequate job. Realistically, at that density altitude, the true Hp is less than 55%, or about 100 Hp or less.

Good video. Be aware of the density altitude when flying into Big Bear, also the tall trees on final. Keep that fuel mixture lean.

give me a break, if this was a 757 then yes, he still has 80 feet of plane behind him but in this plane I agree with him announcing he is clear because you dont know if there was someone RIGHT behind him. I think its a bigger hazard if you cause that guy that behind you to go around because you thought you were flying a boeing jet. your the type of guy who tunes in to the tower frequency 50 miles out when your still with approach hu..

If I can just make one commment: wait to report "clear of runway 26" until after you have passed the yellow runway holding position marking. It was in front of you (at 2:00) when you reported clear of runway 26. You're technically still on the runway, and pose a potential hazard to landing aircraft. Nice approach and great touchdown =) I enjoyed your video
