napamule2 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well, it shows you how much the wind can toss around even the heavy iron, so you know what to expect. And, that you CAN land in 40 kt cross winds - if you don't panic, you use 'crab' approach, plus make sure the wing toward the wind side stays down and only at last minute make correction to heading (you don't want to land sideways, because when you touch down 'it' will get worse if your heading isn't pointing (aprox) straight down runway). I can do these landings 'all day' and still not get enough. Trouble is I have to stop as my blood pressure goes sky high after a few landings with 30 kt crosswinds (hehe).

shanwick Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yep, I think you can learn a lot from looking at videos such as these and seeing how it's done in the real world. Gotta give it to those pilots - they have real skill. Just glad I wasn't a pax on any of those aircraft :( Dijvid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobeW Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 While it`s fun to watch I can`t learn anything from the videos because I cannot see WHAT they are doing. Misleading title.

napamule2 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The title says 'HONE' (ie: improve) your flying SKILLS. Can't 'hone' if you don't HAVE any SKILLS to hone. So this is not an offer of 'read and acquire' skills: limitations may apply - may need to meet additional skill requirements - beginners need not apply. :-) Chuck B Napamule i7 2600K @ 3.4 Ghz (Turbo-Boost to 3.877 Ghz), Asus P8H67 Pro, Super Talent 8 Gb DDR3/1333 Dual Channel, XFX Radeon R7-360B 2Gb DDR5, Corsair 650 W PSU, Dell 23 in (2048x1152), Windows7 Pro 64 bit, MS Sidewinder Precision 2 Joy, Logitech K-360 wireless KB & Mouse, Targus PAUK10U USB Keypad for Throttle (F1 to F4)/Spoiler/Tailhook/Wing Fold/Pitch Trim/Parking Brake/Snap to 2D Panel/View Change.

31448 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'll bet more than one strut had to be re-packed after that. Plus a change of drawers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
