hey missouri nation
jason here don't flare
on landing i get a lot of a lot of flack
for this one sometimes but allow me to
explain i don't teach to flare
on landing i want you to ditch the word
flare from your vocabulary
instead i want you to transition
transition to what
transition to exactly what we did last
week slow flight
slow flight down the runway act like you
want to do slow flight but the power's
back you'll have a nice
smooth touchdown after that the reason i
don't advocate
a flare when you think of a flare what
do you think you think of a 747
that was no longer flying right but 747
um
when it would come in to land the space
shuttle when it would come into land
my touchdown point here carpe power back
10 degrees of flaps perfect
landing still starts the perfect pattern
so i'm going to come in here and i'm
going to do
a slightly exaggerated flare
i share this because i had a student way
way back in the day come in the land i
always let my new students kind of fly
the airplane even on landing help them a
little bit he was coming in he was
flying really really well
we got to the point where i said okay
flare
and he literally took the yoke back to
his chest and i thought oh
and we shot up to the moon and made a
nice little go around of course
um but from there i realized we can't
use
that word flare we need a different word
wilson traffic skyhawk two three mike
zulu's turn left base three two touch
and go
williston here's my here's my rationale
too you never want to be
in a position where you can't see down
the runway
a big focus is taking your eyes
down that runway as you transition the
nose
up as you move to slow flight you should
transition
your eyes down that runway to three four
five hundred feet look towards the tree
line for all that matters
finals clear wilson traffic skyhawk two
three mike zulu's turning final runway
three two touch and go williston traffic
all right happy with my flaps and
everything for now happy with my speed
of 80.
perfect lane search the perfect pattern
we're going to fly everything perfect
and the last little bit we are going to
flare
rather transition you also with a really
nasty flare you kind of
uh certainly risk hitting the tail as
well now i'm not advocating by the way a
three-point landing i'll show you what i
mean by this mean transition
on the next lap but for now what i mean
is i want we're going to really really
pitch this thing
back which is not what we want even with
my transition i still have
the mains touching first followed by the
nose just not as drastic as we're going
to demonstrate
here all right i'm gonna go
full flaps all is looking good
coming in i haven't heard anybody on the
radios
65 our airport property life's looking
pretty good
we're coming in my eyes are looking by
the way at the number three two
we're looking good we're looking good we
get to where i would normally transition
which was right about here and instead
we fire a little bit and we pitch back
and we hold it back
and we actually ended up climbing and we
hold it back and we pitched back
one more more and we hit down
hard as you can see we don't flare
on landing all right let's go ahead
let's do
another one flaps coming up
i hate bouncing in a perfectly good
airplane breaks my heart every single
time
i'll catch up with you all over on the
downwind
all right msuri nation back on the
downwind now i gotta tell you
as i was flying this crosswind and
starting the downwind here my heart
hurts a little bit having to do that to
two three mike zulu the things we do for
the m08 nation
but i wanted to demonstrate we just
don't flare you pitch back too much
you hurt i don't know if you could hear
the stall warning horn coming on we
slammed that thing in all because we
flared
and it start even though our speed was
good we flared we gained a little bit of
altitude
we brought it back down we flared again
now we're too slow and you end up just
slamming
the airplane in we've all done it i i
have done it many times
i think here it's about 10 miles to the
uh
southwest going to be entering a
midfield for three two
power back 10 degrees flaps got one he's
10 miles out should
be a factor here all right now
we're going to transition we're going to
transition as we transition to
transition the nose up
we'll transition our eyes down that
runway just a little bit here
and we're going to work to a baby and
hold this up off same
speeds same flat configurations it's all
about where you put your nose and where
you put
your eyes as well wilson traffic skyhawk
2 3 mike zulu is
turning left base runway 3-2 williston
all right all is looking good on the
base here
slowing down to 80.
on base next notch flaps
that bonanza bonanzas are fast but he is
10 miles out should be an issue for this
all's good verify finals clear
finals clear portland checklist fuel
debt and with seat belts all is good
wilson traffic skyhawk two three might
lose turning final runway three
two williston
all right looking good
i'll get my full flaps in here i don't
like flaps in in a turn
that's probably a video all in itself so
once i get wings level right here
i'll go my next notch
a little bit on the high side correcting
there's some traffic bonanza 458 once
here is about five miles to the
southwest it's gonna be entering that
midfield left that one for two three
shouldn't be an issue all right
looking good back on glide path speeds
looking great slow into 68 over the
fence
two or three knots faster than last time
now we're at 65 good
all right looking good aiming eyes
looking at that three two really looking
at the dirt
in front of it i'm at idle and watch
this right here
transition hold it here eyes look at the
trees hold it here
hold it here hold it here hold it here
listen chappie bonanza four five eight
one two here
the midfield left down one for uh three
two that's good that's all it takes
team we don't flare we transition
transition the nose up transition your
eyes
down the runway m sorry nation i hope
you'll be joining us
august 19th for our huge announcement
you certainly don't want to miss it big
things coming
to mzeroa have a wonderful rest your day
