Got something to say?
Looking for something in particular?
@littlelarryrules Thank you!
Beautiful landing. Well done.
The rudder is mostly used on climbout, but the rudder trim takes care of any excessive work. As for sensitivity… eh, it’s pretty proportionate to the size of the aircraft, and the amount of pressure applied gives you what you’d expect.
Do you use the Rudder often in flight?
How sensitive is it?
A newer more streamlined aircraft like this one and 206’s in general, carry in a lot more speed if you don’t get it slowed down soon enough.
It’s a lot harder to lose airspeed than it is with a 172.
Flaps retract in about 10 seconds.
No vendetta.. I have time in C-182RG but none in a 206.. I’ve never noticed much of a pitch change in a 182, but now a Piper is a different story.. I got my Commercial in a PA28 RT201 and that definately has a pitch change with flaps.. My preference is to not dump? the last notch of flaps until about a mile final or if flying close closed pattern then of course once established on final and determined I’m not low then full flaps.. If the wind is gusty then I’ll not use the last bit of flaps..

Thanks for the comment. It seems you have a vendetta against the way I fly approaches. A half mile final is really short notice to put the barn doors all the way down, I wouldn’t want a pitch change like that in such a nose heavy aircraft at that altitude.
Engine failure, while always a concern, shouldn’t be a reason to carry a plane such as this with little flaps? and 150 knots to the runway. I prefer a slower, stable approach to fit in with other traffic.
Great Video… But I wouldn’t put in full flaps until about a half mile final… If your engine failed you’d have all that drag out with little time and few options of where to land…
Just north of the FL/GA border, right on the coastline.
Where is St Simons?
Thing drops like a tank. Nicely done. Awesome scenery!
wow smooth landing!
Awesome man! Fun little airport, cool scenery on approach, too!
I did my first cross country solo to that airport and runway!
