landing

So basically,, where did we get the 50 Ft term from? Are most trees by runway's approximately 50 Ft? Or is there something deeper I'm missing?

So I recently watched a video recently on how the US navy used a suspended runway for one of it's WWII vessels. Given the expense of constructing and maintaining a runway in remote areas for small light aircraft would this be at all feasible?

Hey all, so I have begun my CFI training and I adapted quite quickly to flying and doing the maneuvers in the air without much issue but my landings have been abysmal. Today I was sideloading the right side and had too much right rudder then this afternoon the opposite and too much left. I...

What’s up all. Hope you had a good new year. Got a question: me and my instructor have been arguing about my landings for the past couple of weeks. He wants me to pull throttle to idle right when I cross the numbers. But I’m still like 2 wing spans higher than the runway. I am arguing with...

First attempt at videoing our flight with 2 GoPro Max 360 Cameras.

Hello Everyone I have been training for almost 9 months now. I have 55+ flight hours and over 130 landings. All of it in Cessna 152. But still I am unable to Solo. I have had trouble landings including pilot induced oscillations, hard landing, trouble landing in cross wind, not landing on...

Hello everyone. Recently getting some study for CFI with a friend, we got into a heated argument about controlling the aircraft on approach to landing. I stated that on final, I like to maintain wings level and do small corrections with the rudder for directional control and alignment to the...

New pilot here, any tips of maintain level flight during cruise? I'm confused because I have had multiple instructors tell me different techniques . One instructor told me to level at desired altitude reduce power and THEN trim until I no longer feel any pressure on the yoke. But another...

Student PPL here, and I have a hypothetical situation at a certain airport which I might encounter, an uncontrolled airport with two runways: 1- Paved runway 14/32 2- grass runway 02/20 Wind will be blowing NNE or NE , anywhere from 15 to 50 degrees, which makes best runway to land is 02...

Hey Skypilots! After a short rain delay (for the birth of my second kid - woooo!), I'm finally back with another flight vlog. This time, it's a short flight from KMWC to KENW here in WI to buy some girl scout cookies. I'm lucky to be part of a flying club, otherwise the cookies would be WAY...

Hi All, I'm a new private pilot and had a question regarding exiting a runway with a taxiway that requires a >90 degree turn. I frequent an airport that has a runway exit with approximately a 120 degree turn. I ask ATC for approval and I usually receive an agitated response. I'll gladly keep...
