Flying Lesson #11 - Soft Field & Short Field Take Off & Landings | Video

[Romeo Juliet Whiskey]

Hey guys,

 

Had my first taste of flying out of a grass strip to practice soft field operations today. Great fun! Got to practice short field takeoffs and landings as well. You really have to be proactive with the throttle when on final at 55kts!

 

 

 

These kind of training exercises really improve your flying skills... feeling more at home in the Jabiru with every lesson now :)

Thanks for that, RJW. A good production and a useful refresher for blokes like me who are getting rusty.
