allardjd 1,853 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I received an MP4 version of this attached to an e-mail from a friend and managed to find it on YouTube. Good advice!!! Less than 3 minutes and pretty entertaining, I think. John https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqFTD-Bqwl8 Link to post Share on other sites

Quickmarch 488 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Thanks for the link, JA. One maxim that we all need to remember: There are three things that are of no use to a pilot. One of them is "runway behind you". Applies to both takeoffs and landings. Any guesses on the other two? I often find myself trying to rescue a bad approach in the flight sim. Bad idea! Maybe it's because the penalties are less severe than in the RW. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I know the other two but don't know of any YouTube videos advocating them quite as well as this one does. John Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 That's a nice little ditty to remember after the GUMPS check. Thanks for the video John. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I must remember this the next time I am blanking out the advice on approach! Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I must admit I fail to brief myself for a missed approach before landing, I should do that more often in the future. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I confess part of my fun in the sim is trying to pull off hard/bad/crazy approaches, and I actually set up for them purposefully sometimes...go arounds are a very last option for me unless I am hauling pax in Airhauler...those whiners will down rate us for the slightest bumps/Gloads. However, I just make sure to plan well in advance for my approaches with Pax on board...no problems, cept for weather bumps. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I can remember one particular go-around during my real world flying - in a C-152 to a 6,000' X 150' paved runway in fair WX with a work party from the flying club watching and waiting for the exhaust manifold gasket I was ferrying in. No excuse, just high and fast and not paying attention. I still probably had enough runway ahead of me to land three times but went around anyway because it "didn't look right". I didn't get any grief over that - well, not much anyway. That one still stings. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 You could claim it was a FOD check John. or..."Whattt, you boys didn't see the squirrel on the runway?" Coffee would Go Around for critters. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
