Short Take-Off & Landing
« on: February 01, 2016, 05:27:56 PM »
And I mean REALLY short..... video is from last year, but this guy is pretty good. I figured he had a heavy headwind, but The Alaska Life FB page reported it was only a 5-10 mph headwind.


Bobby Breeden's fourth consecutive win and reported new world record for combined take-off/landing!
24 foot takeoff and 20 foot landing:

Slow Flight.  Full flaps, nose high, throttle low...barely moving.

My flight instructor landed a Cessna 150 on the warm up pad next to the runway of the small field belonging to Miami University, Oxford OH.

He commented that I should practice shortening the distance for my slow flight touchdowns and roll outs and I said  "Well, how short can they be?"  He showed me.

Get the wind tight and they can land backwards.

Alaskan bush pilots always amazed me how they can find a flat spot on the side of a mountain and land on it. Those guys don't need runways.

Yep.

I have a 20' x 20' steel building sitting on a 21' x' 30' concrete slab....if the building was gone, the guy in the video could take off and land on that slab with room to spare.

the MAC terminal at Udorn RTAFB was adjacent to the Air America compound.... watching the T-28s and Pilatus Porters take off was in strange contrast to the F-4s
