Anybody Else Into Flying Here?
Check this out:bombin:

That is pretty cool stuff, it has been out a while IIRC it is a training video from Boeing. I could be wrong but I believe that is what I read some where.
|
are they suppose to land crooked like that?
|
Yeah, that vid is of crosswind landing certifications, the wind is blowing about 60-70 mph across the runway. Ideally in it blowing directly at you, gives you airspeed but not groundspeed. That's way airports have runways facing in different directions. I'm learning all this stuff because that's hopefully what I will be doing in a few years is flying commercially. I'm workin on gettin my private license now. It's pretty cool stuff

Its all yours , Ill keep my feet right here on the ground , Ive never been in a comercal Plane only private ones and ive had enough ,

If I can ever save the money to buy an in expensive prop plane I will get my pilots license I love to fly. Taking off and landing are my favorite part, but I also like being 30,000 feet up and all of a sudden drop a few feet. :U: |

The B-52 has articulated landing gear and can take off and land sideways and not jerk you back straight when you land. that is the crappy part of landing sidways like that. Gives you whip lash when you land!! LOL!!

It's not exactly fun the first time, the airport where my dad has got his plane has always got a crosswind. It scared the S$% out of me the first time I went up in it

Rich and famous Huh ,, NAh Im already Rich To Be around you Guys and Gals on Here :) And to have my loving family , I Dont define Rich as Money.
Anyway i would go via John Madden ... You can drive my Cummins Powered Bus lol DM |
uh...yah... not so good for my flying issues. :se: gimme keys and a dirt road please. thank you.
|
cool vids......my father inlaw and brother inlaw are both pilots. they own a small private air strip in nj. they do crop dusting and also fly for the nj forrestry service doing air drop for forrest fires.......

Here's that other video.

I didnt know you could powerslide in an airplane :eek:...Those pilots have some mad skills!!

i bet it's a whole different feeling when you're doing the driving though. |
HEHEHEHEHE, you don't fly much do ya Chimpo? Everythings gonna be OK:dd:

Nice vids. Brings back memories...
Flying is a ball. I do miss it occasionally. I started flying, right out of High School. I flew my butte off. When I turned 21 I was the youngest captain in the industry. At that point I was working for a small commercial airline called Wings Airways based in Blue Bell, PA. Also flew Charter for a couple of years. Five years later my (ex) wife asked if I'd consider a line of work that allowed me to be home at night. I did. I don't know what I was thinking. I must have been fu*king nuts. Anyway, It's a blast. |

It's more than just croswind landing. It is also known as a forward/slide slip. It is a way to lose alttitude without affecting your forward air speed. I have always HATED they way it feels when in a plane. Essentially you are in a controlled fall.
The forward slip will change the heading of the aircraft away from the down wing, while retaining the original track (path over the ground) of the aircraft. A forward slip is useful when a pilot has set up for a landing approach with excessive height or must descend steeply beyond a treeline to touchdown near the start of a short runway. Assuming that the runway is properly lined up the forward slip will allow the aircraft track to be maintained while steepening the descent without adding excessive airspeed. Since the heading is not aligned with the runway, the slip must be removed before touchdown to avoid excessive side loading on the landing gear, and if a cross wind is present an appropriate side slip may be necessary at touchdown as described below. In the United States, student pilots are required to know how to do forward slips before embarking on their first solo flight. The logic is that in the event of an engine failure, the pilot will have to land on the first attempt and will not have a chance to go around if the aircraft is too high and/or too fast. The sideslip also uses opposite aileron and rudder, In this case it is entered by lowering a wing and exactly enough opposite rudder so the airplane does not turn (maintaining the same heading), while adding airspeed as required. In the slideslip condition, the airplane's longitudinal axis remains parallel to the original flightpath, but the airplane no longer flies straight along its original track. Now, the horizontal component of lift forces the airplane to move sideways toward the low wing. A sideslip is also one of the methods used by pilots to execute a crosswind landing. In order to land crosswind using the sideslip method, the pilot puts the airplane into a sideslip toward the wind to maintain runway centerline position while maintaining heading on the centerline with the rudder, touching one main landing gear, followed by the second main gear, and finally the nose gear (or tail gear if employed). This allows the wheels to be constantly aligned with the track, thus avoiding any side load at touchdown. A sailplaneThe slideslip method for cross-wind landings is not suitable for long winged and low sitting aircraft such as sailplanes, where instead a crab angle (heading into the wind) is maintained until a moment before touchdown. However glider pilots regularly use side-slips to increase their rate of descent while landing, particularly in the case of older sailplanes not equipped with high drag devices (spoilers or flaps). |

nope. i usually only fly twice a year, to florida and from florida. i got family all over this country i haven't seen for years because i don't like to fly. as soon as i can afford to get highway gears put in my truck i'll be officially done with flying if i have any say in it. mind you, a road trip with the wife yacking about my driving might not be a picnic but i ain't afraid to offer her a seat in the bed either.

Looks like fun. :U:
I wanted to take my kids to see one of those races. My son really likes airplanes. We've been over to one of the local airports several times. They enjoyed it. |
