How about another one? Trying to learn more video editing tricks. Going for shorter!!!!
Sharing my practice session for backcountry runway evaluation prior to landing. For this, I try to use Low Level, Energy Management Turns.
These are basically crop duster turns to get back to evaluate the runway easily, in a minimal area like a canyon, and not burn a lot of time so you can make a good evaluation of runway conditions.
This is practice in a wide open area, so that when the distractions of rocks, trees, and steep canyon walls are present, my aging mental processor doesn't bog down. That isn't hard for a fellow born and raised in Louisiana, where the high ground is the top of the ant hills!!!
This is juggling a lot of balls, kinda close to the ground. A lot of energy management turns were practiced at safer and higher altitudes before starting to attempt this in the low altitude, runway environment.
I would only feel safe attempting this manuever in a cub-like plane or my Bearhawk that I have started to get the FEEL for. I personally wouldn't attempt to do this in a C-172 or other certified airplane. The Bearhawk is particularly suited to this type of manuevering with some practice.
Fly Safe!
