  • I did this in Bonanza A36 on the opposite runway. Watch for boats on approach and departure.  Awesome little island. No cars.

  • very nice. 

  • I trained in DFW area in Texas. We have one across border in OK called McGeeHee Catfish,my FBO forbid us to go there.think it was around 2200 but there's a road that crosses halfway down,pretty crazy, somebody posted vid under(red river departure),Cherokee 180

  • man that plane was hauling ass on final lol

  • @cerrutiboy1 I don't know the exact figures, but its been my experience that it does take a couple of seconds off the roll. And if you do it right (i.e. you know your plane) unintended rotation isn't an issue, especially on a big 182 like they were using. If you're less than familiar with your aircraft then I can see it as being something to look out for.

  • @tpaladino slowing the plane down by how much faster, as compared to not pulling the yoke? do you know you can cause the plane to rotate upon its lateral axis, even if the airspeed is below stall speed? do you want to risk the plane taking off again momentarily up to 3-4 feet in the air and then subsequently stalls and falls from that height? the plane will skid only if you brake heavily, you can choose to do so intermittently.

  • @cerrutiboy1 You don't want to be in a full brake situation on a soft field like this. You don't know if the grass is wet or if the turf is overly soft, so an over-application of brakes can lead to a skid and loss of control. Bringing the horiz. stab. down will slow the plane and allow you to use less brakes, while also giving the added benefit of taking pressure off of the nose wheel, which can dig into soft turf as well. Its also a shot field, so you can't afford a long roll out either.

  • @cerrutiboy1 It adds drag for sure, but I would guess that the main thing is to keep the weight off the nose wheel.

  • your steep turns on downwind towards final how steep was it in degrees ?

  • Great job guys! Thats an awesome turf strip!
