  • great landing, 5 stars...

  • I would love a job flying Beavers if it paid well enough.

  • @harpinKeith The space shuttle glides to Earth without power. Anything else with a pair of wings can too. You just need to manage your speed.

  • @harpinKeith any plane can safely glide if you control your airspeed. Even when the engine fails you're able to pick up speed.

  • @tannaberton No thanks, I would just as soon try to hold the USS-Nimitz.

  • beautiful landing

  • nice landing

  • nicely don my son

    I did this fir 7 years in NW ontario

    Beavers are the planes...by the way did you ever have to hold an Otter to a dock in across wind...

    Go Beaver GO

  • @fractalbeliever yes it did help, thanks friend

  • @harpinKeith I've flown this approach many times (the dock you see on short final is Kenmore's Seaplane base at Lake Washington). I think the video answers your question. At 12 seconds into the vid, the instructor tells the student to cut the power (totally). Notice how the good ol' beaver is gliding quite well at idle, and handles quite gently in the power-off turn (e.g. to avoid the barge moored at 12 o'clock on short final). I hope this helps.
