Thank you for all this evaluable information
For the training I do in STOL 'planes, I explain to the pilot it's kinda like buying a Rolls Royce, but just speed instead of money, "if you have to ask, you can't do it". If you're tucking an airplane into a tight runway, or planning to get out over close trees, it's more about the feel of the 'plane at each moment of the flight, rather than the indicated airspeed - I don't want to see pilot's eyes going in and out, from view to ASI, you don't have time!
Some pilots like AoA systems, which work great, but again, if eyes are going in/out to refer to it, you're asking for trouble in a tight runway.
There are different techniques for different short runways, and STOL kits will help, but the advanced training ans skill is more important than the mods on the 'plane!
I think this is the point! You're completely right!
Great video, tho!
Again, thank you and have a great Christmas :-)
