Re: Tight Landings, Take Offs, and Close Calls!

Very good demonstrations, Larry. The takeoff at Marble in Idaho shows us effective use of the basic low ground effect takeoff and down drainage egress. In all the videos where we can see your control movement, we see little unnecessary use of aileron on short final but effective dynamic proactive elevator useage and dynamic proactive rudder usage. We see no wing wagging, which would make tight landings simply undoable. Good job.

Nice video. I have watched your videos for years and really appreciate your high quality editing, calm factual narration without bragging, nice perspective shots, and non-judgemental analysis of mistakes for our benefit. I will never be comfortable putting my underinsured plane in such low margin for error situations. However, I can try to apply some of the energy management principles to my amateur level farm strip flying. It looks like a super 170 is hard to beat but I am more impressed by squeezing so much out of a 182 which is so damn well-rounded. Keep em coming.

Thanks , I started my YouTube channel about 12 years ago, even before GoPros, with the intention of filming my backcountry flying in Costa Rica, put it on YouTube and post it here to get advice on the proper techniques (I had no backcountry instructor in Costa Rica and wanted to learn)
So these forums have been of great help really, there are a lot of experienced pilots with lots knowledge, willing to give advice to newer pilots.
Then filming became a hobby, and without planning, the channel got quite popular, for sure learned a lot flying the 182 into those tight places,
