    And those go-arounds sound like "exterior" go-arounds, ones that were caused by something that you had no control over. Those weren't the "garbage" approaches like mentioned by the one CFI, up above. Doing a go-around because a herd of deer jumps on to the runway is much different than doing a...

    OK, here it is to beat a dead horse...... Or, maybe it is just a writing style / communication style.... BUT, "the go around is always my first option" is the part that doesn't make sense, nor jive with my experience. Here are SOME of the things I will do before performing a go-around: Add...

    Read it, pretty much. It looks like for your 182, all of the EMERGENCY landings require 40 degrees of full flaps, except for ditching in heavy swells. Also, for normal landings, flaps are to be greater than 20 degrees, (ie... 30-40 degrees). Nowhere in the POH does it say to use 20 degrees...

    Never rule them out, just don't avoid using full flaps because I might have to do one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trump camp takes credit for getting the drone returned...... Trump tells China to keep it..... This is how we deal with international incidents....

    And to embarrass Trump for his phone call. Just like flying the bomber last week. They will test him, incite him into reactions.

    Kind of funny what you get for a response when you start taking phone calls from Taiwan. International diplomacy is a carefully choreographed dance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just your generic VFR 182 driver. Not a pilot or aviator. Just been blessed to live in some awesome places that are near some more awesome places that have landing places, kind of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And nothing you said has anything to do with my experience showing me that go-around so in the wild are rare. Just like you, I know why some fences have safety links in the top wires. I know what risks are acceptable, and I know what tools have been engineered to address those risks. One of...

    Yeah, using all the tools that Cessna engineers provided me is going to "burn" my ass. Just because you are unable to recognize "garbage" approaches for the real reason, and have to execute "lots" and "many" go-a rounds is far more dangerous than my attitude that I will use the tools...

    Bought into a 182P

    How does not causing myself to have to do go-arounds indicate inexperience? I don't fly "garbage" approaches like the CFI above described. My approaches are perfect, or they are too high, or too low, or too fast, or too slow, or too wide, or too close, or, maybe some combination of some of...

    Bought into a 182P

    Yeah, 200' I may not be at full flaps yet. I could still be at 10 or 20 at that point, depending on what is needed. And, yes, in backcountry every strip and approach is different, and that is the point. You need to be able to use all the tools that engineers at Cessna provided. The float...

    Bought into a 182P

    That makes sense. To get back to the issue, let's see: There are 2 kinds of go-arounds: pilot caused and exterior-event caused. I acknowledged that there are events that are exterior to the pilot. Deer on the runway, a plane taxing on the runway, ATC, etc... My position on these...

    Does your POH say "any flap" or does it say "as needed" or "as required "?

    KFWN is a 3500' runway. What do you need to land your 182?

    Bought into a 182P

    At what altitude and distance from the airport are you doing your instrument induced go-around? Are you at full-flaps at the decision point? I can take you to plenty of backcountry airports where your need to do a few low passes and drag the strip will result in you becoming "one with the...

    Bought into a 182P

    Explain how using full flaps is inexperienced or naive? I would like to learn. In my experience, go-arounds don't happen other than in the training environment. Where, in contrast, in my real world flying, once I commit to land, I need to be able to land on a chosen spot, likely +/- 25'...
