Cessna 210 gear up landing
 

good work, as said on vid 'text book'

looked like a tail dragger earlier on in the approach :uhoh:

Hear hear, well done.

I saw the prop moving as it hit the dirt, does anybody know if the pilot pulled the mix or shut down the mags (i.e. was it windmilling)? Absolutely not questioning the skills displayed, again well done.

This was the video that played after..... I couldnt stop laughing.

Check out this one. Now this guy is a gun!

He's a gun alright! A gun at editing...:E

Yep and a gun at R/C model flying!

There were at least some skills involved!

Maybe full flap would have been a safer choice.The slower the better,Last thing you need is to flip over on your roof.And before any 210 gurus say anything Ive heard the argument about 210s are easier to land with 2 stages of flap a million times.Me I think touching down around 75kts with full flap is a little more safer than 85kts and easier on these old machines

Never had any probs getting the wheels to 'sit nicely' with Full flap.....

On the one occasion I thought the nosewheel may not have locked, I checked the shadow on the ground and THAT looked about right.
Still no light though - yeah, switched the globes - and put it down gently full flap and as slow as I could get the old girl to go before lowering the nose gently and before it 'dropped'.
Fortunately, it held.

Nose gear switch problem.

Huh !!!! ???

What's the gear down, full flap, throttle closed stalling speed of a C210??

Gotta be <60 kts, surely!

As I circled the K model whilst troubleshooting (no green light and told by ground folk that R main was dangling) I read something interesting (something I probably should have known before it truly mattered):

With that particular model if there's no positive indication of the nose gear being locked (only one light for all three) then suspect that the engine may be holding the pressure in the line to support the nose. During landing roll and taxi do not allow revs to drop below 1000 until a locked indication is given or (from the AFM) "ground crew" have secured the tail to the ground to support the weight. I got the green on touchdown so no pilots sitting on the tailplane/tying it to the ground that day.

In reference to my last post this may have been why the pilot elected to not secure the engine... depends on the model, the info she/he had at the time etc.
