How not to land.

[Ultralights]

so still no charts then?

FTDK,

terrorise the airways with inflight Ppruining and triple-GPS trans-continental cross-countries in the flight levels.

You sound worse than Dick Smith. Just keep your flippin' eyeballs outside, not inside playing with your toys!

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Do I detect a bit of "GPS envy" there Bloggsy?

You just keep your TCAS on and "Helga the talking cigarette lighter" will alert me to your presence.

speaking of GPS's, i pulled out my newish GPS phone on my flight to sydney on friday night (actually WITH an airline), my phone in flight mode of course.
Since its garmin software, it shows max speed the gps has tracked, so now i tell my mates i've driven my car at 784km/h - and prove it

This is one technique I use, I apply full forward pressure on the stick before you touch down the first time this will help stop you from bounceing up like this. Once it starts to bounce you just have to ride it out, pulling back would not work. Carb heat could be turned on to reduce the engine power a bit to help stop the bounceing but that is about it.

I noticed that one too, thought at first it was veiled sarcasm, but knowing the quality of most of the comments on Youtube I suspect sheer stupidity is probably the more likely answer.

Now I know what Carby heat is for

Always wondered about that!

Spoken like a true flight simmer

[PyroTek]

do they even have carby heat on the flight simulators?
If so, I never used it.. well I never really flew the piston engine aircraft on FS, I flew the heavy metal...

This is the technque we use in the 717. It works well, most of the time...

uh, Bloggs, where did that go wrong for you?
DETAILS!

He pulled the wrong handle so he didn't eject but somehow survived it all. It was due to the flight control system that was very sensitive, he induced an oscillation and did not go around

[Sunfish]

And this is what happens when a commercial pilot induces an oscillation.

Except that it is a fake.

Yeh c'mon Sunfish, it's a model, you stirrer!
