coppercity Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 Had a nice 15kt direct crosswind with some higher gusts this day. 0 flap landings and higher approach speed.
WmInce Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 2nd one was sweet! Nice job Eric. Great pilot technique.
WmInce Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 A "full stall" landing is of little use, when the airspeed over the rudder surface is insufficient to keep the airplane aligned with the runway at touchdown, under severe crosswind conditions. Rudder authority is determined by how much (or how little) wind is passing over the rudder surface. More airspeed . . . more authority. That's why some here prefer less flaps and more airspeed on the final phase and round out (flare) of the landing. If they are more comfortable with that, I personally do not see anything wrong with that, as long as they have the available runway to handle it.
coppercity Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Posted November 23, 2013 p.s. When are you and Cheryl coming over for breakfast? Maybe in a couple weeks, have a student ready for a checkride after the holidays, plus we are heading up to Duluth next week to pick up a new Cirrus for Cheryl. Early Christmas present for her!
Bobby CAU Posted November 23, 2013 Report Posted November 23, 2013 wonderful video Erick ... love it ... Roger, "full stall" landing?. how to do it?.
FastEddieB Posted November 23, 2013 Report Posted November 23, 2013 Roger, "full stall" landing?. how to do it?. Not Roger, but from some of your videos, that's what some of us refer to as "full stall". It may not, in fact, lead to a full stall, but the goal is to have the stick all the way back, or nearly so, at the point of touchdown, leaving little if any flying speed - hence the allusion to the stall. I've seen you do that at your grass field and really liked your landings. And, to stipulate for the nth time, it is NOT appropriate in all conditions, but a goal for some of us when conditions are right. That's why it really did not have to come up in this thread, where the landing technique seemed perfectly suited to the conditions.
