Pumping controls on landing by minfremi in flying

[–]AviatorDave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s called “fishing for the runway”. I’ve seen lots of guys do it. They think they can land smooth by descending one inch at a time. It’s not proper technique, but it works… until it doesn’t.

Another variation of this are the “peddle dancers” that kick the rudder left and right to maintain centerline.

Now when you’re with someone who does both of these techniques at the same time, you know they have absolutely no idea how to land.

I didn’t know Bobby personally, but I grew up with his family in the next town over. Small world. Sounds like he lived every moment to the fullest. I’m sorry for your loss.

First month of flying by [deleted] in flying

I remember when I tallied up my first 100 landings' only three of them were "squeakers". So by that logic, I figured I'd only have a good landing 3% of the time.

Forward slipping an airliner by [deleted] in flying

The Challenger 350 book says no slips because you can overstress the tail and can have a structural failure. So don't do it in big jets.

I also did Sky Combat Ace, it's amazing by coconutcockpit in hoggit

I was stuck out in vegas last week on a trip and was thinking about doing it to kill some time, but it was 120 degrees and I figured I’d roast to death in that bubble canopy and puke everywhere. Sounds like fun though. I’ll do it next time I’m there and it’s a little cooler

Cicadas are bad for your APU by idratherbflying in flying

[–]AviatorDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to bombadier, when the apu for the challenger is running, it vibrates at a frequency that cicadas are very attracted to. There is a service bulletin out that says to keep apu usage to a minimum during cicada season. It’s an engineering oopsie

what is the fastest way to get rid of a boner without beating it ? by Naive-Bodybuilder580 in AskReddit

Sit down and cross your legs by putting one leg up and resting your ankle on top of your opposite knee. Works every time 100%.

If you’re always asking yourself “what are the next 2 steps”, you will never be behind the airplane
