An introduction to how I teach landings. In just 6 minutes, I share more than a dozen tips and techniques to help beginning Student Pilots grasp the sometimes elusive and often frustrating task of making normal landings prior to solo. I cover Crosswind, Short, Soft and Power-Off Landings in other videos; this one is all about the simple basics that you learn in the first few hours of flight training.

You sound like a sports edition on radio going over after a game or before comments great voice
"Don't let the wheels touch till the airplane is done flyin"... great advice! Thanks for the video!
But if your too high off the runway and don’t realize it PROBLEM.
"For students that are uhh... vertically challenged" Had me laughing. Great video
i.e. me -___- I fucking hate cushions
I feel attacked 😆
A good friend of mine learned in Cessna's and he was definitely what you could call "vertically challenged." Even with a cushion, he had a hard time seeing over the cowl with the nose up in full flare right before touchdown. He just looked out the corner of the windshield and watched the ground come up. He was actually pretty good at it.
Was hoping someone pointed that out. I'm only 6ft and thought ... LOL short people. x)
@@an6350 How tall are you?
GUMPS for people that don't know is Gas (fuel on proper tank, fuel pump on if required)- Undercarriage (Landing Gear Down)-Mixture (Fuel Mixture Set)-Propeller (Propeller set)-Seat Belts and Switches (Lights, Pitot Heat etc.)
I add straps (seatbelts) and flaps at the end
G- gas U- under carriage M- mixture P- prop
GMPS for simple class. GPS for diesel.
Thank you, was wondering
CCGUMPS in 182 . Cowl flaps and carb heat!
I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.
And don't call me Shirley!
Thank you for the help mate !!! All I need now is a Cessna.
Did u got the Cessna
We’re still waiting... did u got the cessna?
This is important. Did you get a cessna?
Guys, has he got the cessna yet?
did you get the cessna yet bro? we gotta know!
Yes these are some of the best videos out there. There are so many of these videos on youtube now but most of them are just young men parroting what they heard at flight school. There's no insight. It's good that someone with a decent amount of experience is making videos too.
XPLAlN mmm 'll 'm lI loveany thing that is shown on air craft.It is all a learning curve.
Great video. I haven’t flown for 30 years, but I did love it. Learned in a 152, but logged most of my hours in a 172. I always “flew the numbers” on landing. On downwind opposite the touchdown point, reduce power to about 1750 rpm, set the first notch of flaps and trim for 70 knots. On base, drop the second notch of flaps and the speed will naturally reduce to 65. Turn final, add the rest of the flaps and speed will settle in at 60. Then tweak the power as needed to maintain the glide slope. Worked every time. One thing I am very grateful for. I did most of my primary training off a 2000’ grass strip, so I got pretty good at short field landings. I could usually have that 152 down, stopped and turned around to back taxi for another takeoff before I got to the windsock at mid-field. 2000’ is a bit short for touch and gos. For those we went over to the larger city airport and didn’t have to work around a bunch of crazy crop dusters.
Great info, Norman. Love your 'simple' approach (pun intended). Much appreciated.
Very cool story sir
30 years for me as well. I have around 120 hours in 172.
I was always taught in the 172 to turn base with 1500 RPM and flaps retracted, then add flaps 10 and 20 through the base turn. Wait for 75-80 kts then lower the nose. Continue on base, then turn final, flaps full and 65 knots. Idle power usually passing over the threshold or as needed to maintain 65 on final.
When I first started my flight training I never though I would ever get landings and always struggled with the flare. I remember the journey well but it will come in time and with practice. Its just a natural thing for me now.
I’m at the same position right now, it’s so frustrating at times! Lol
Hi Gary. I am doing my PPL in South Africa and I have found your videos to be both informational and entertaining.
Yes I do it being flight mps😂😂
Gary, you really need to make more videos! They're fantastic! And It's been more than 13 months!
I wish I had these videos when I learned to fly. The best learning videos are the NTSB accident summarys. Theses videos are things that you should have known before you should have known it.
Very well done Garry. Love it!!! I am an airline guy trying to get back into GA. Wow, its tough going back. This is the best video addressing the subject of landing a Cessna.
Excellent video! Thank you for doing this
I am really enjoying your videos. You have a great style of presenting and teaching; I really wish I had you for an instructor. Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm, knowledge, and experience :)

You do. Right here on youtube.
I always felt like next to navigation, landing was the most challenging part of flying. But a great instruction video such as this can help a lot to iron out the mistakes and get you landing like a pro. Practice, Practice, Practice, is the key to good landings. Landings should be just like riding a bicycle. Once you learn how it becomes second nature. Thanks for a great video.
Garry - Thanks for the video. I no longer use my Private ticket, but is sure nice to fly along with guys like you. The joy of that first solo take-off and landing are still with me. N57G, where are you?
My instructor always used to tell me to look down to the end of the runway when landing. I wondered why. It was 4000' ft away. Your version sounds much better.
Offgrid Cabin my instructor told me that too but it works out for me. It prevents you from looking inside so you know what to do with your yoke.
Offgrid Cabin Were can I learn how to fly online? Before my school starts
That is while you're in the flair.
My eyes always want to stare right close in front, makes my landings inconsistent.
@Martin Pozzi stall buzzer is a sound like a short pig yell before landing.
Good videos. Thanks for putting them up. I got my private license in a Grumman Cheetah at Houston Hobby a very busy class B airspace. They often had us do carrier landings to get out of the way of the big boys. But textbook landing were alway taught and used at the nearby practice fields like Clover and Sugerland. That was 17 years ago.
Love it. My instructor has said to me pretty much all of that over time, but you have filled in a few gaps for me in this short video that gives me more confidence.
Hi Garry, “fly Safely and fly often” - couldn’t agree more. Picking up training again in May this year and landing (as it might be for a lot of student pilots) was the area of was always least confident with. Some nice, simple and reenforced tips from your video there. Much appreciated! Looking forward to scanning your previous episodes and seeing what else is still to come. Nick, UK
Doing my flight review tomorrow in a C172, and so this is helpful. I've been flying a Tripacer for the last 2 yrs, and didn't realize the 172's approach speed was that much slower. Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge!
Best landing video for GA aircraft I've seen yet, and I've watched a lot of them. Thank you!
One of the best simple videos I have seen on a Cessna! Thank you for posting
The most badass pilot i've had the pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the upload.
This really helped me thank you so much! Ps has anyone ever told you ,you sound like a NFL sports caster nice voice
Nice video! Excellent lesson and that voice was made for radio.
Wish you were still making videos on flying! Nicely produced, accurate information, great attitude, well commentated.
Thank you so much sharing your knowledge with us. Hope to find a teacher like you here in Europe you spread a good mood in what you teach.
This video helped me perfect my landings. I had hard landings prior to watching this video. Thanks for the instruction!!
I did 5 touch and go's plus my full stop the other day. I was actually afraid of flaring too much lol. At one point I did admittedly land with all three wheels
A.J. Reames I’m the opposite I just keep ballooning almost every landing. I’ve got about 40 landings which isn’t a lot but it’s not encouraging knowing I keep doing the same thing over and over.
A.J. Reames same here, I flared too much one time and slammed the plane and now I don’t flair enough lol
@@samcheeseman2750 Had the same issues, here's what helped improve my landings (C172) : maintain airspeed on final at 60-65 kts. If you're carrying excess speed and the runway length permits, there's still a way to bleed it off before flaring: power off and pretend you're flying straight to the end of the runway, just be GENTLE with the elevator, don't suddenly jerk it back. The plane will naturally start sinking to the ground and will require progressively more and more pull back on the elevator. Flare when appropriate and touch down. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong; a student pilot doing pattern work at the time of writing this :)
thank you for this. im setup to take my ppl/cpl at edmonton flying club, have been doing simulator x just mainly for some basic knowledge, but the way you explained this is just so much easier to understand
This video changed my entire perception of how you land. I was trying to go high speeds because I thought that was how you get a smooth landing. Thank you so much!
Brings me back to my first solo days. 1983, N6529M. No action cams back then just memories. Thanks for the vid.
So helpful! I have never flown a plane before and have three minutes of fuel left so wish me luck!
Nice instructing Gary. I sent your video to one of my students. Since he is learning on a C 152, I had to remind him that we cut the power sooner than in the heavier C 182. Very nice video. I wish we had cameras like this back in the late 1960's when I was a young kid learning to fly. But with all this technology, it is strange that the average time for pilots to solo has gone way up since the "early days" of the late 60's and early 70's when the average time was around 15 hours. Now, I'm hearing stories of the average time being about 30 hours. I've heard this from flight examiners in the North Eastern U.S. If accurate, there is some unusual factor involved that I can only guess at. Thanks again. DPA
prolly so the schools can charge more
People that brag about how little time it took to get licensed are so annoying. Seriously, go flex somewhere else. And oh yeah, I know a 6 year old kid that got his 747 certification and commercial pilot's license in 47 minutes, true story.
thank you sir for this educational video, learn a lot. Hope my first landing was good when I go to flying school
Good advice! I've not got the hang of landing yet and I'm doing a session tomorrow (Cessna 150) so I'll be trying to keep these tips in mind.
Thank you...i practiced and am a pro because of you
Thanks so much for this video! Straight to the point and with great repetition with different pointers in every attempt. Well done.
If I had you as an instructor I would have had my ppl 20 years ago! My daughter was on the way and My log book has 39.6 hours in it. You have a special gift of delivering how to do it!
I've really been enjoying your videos, as they are very well done. Thanks for making all these, and I'll be sure to check back here and on your blog often.
Now I can finally land a cessna in Flight Gear Flight Simulator. I always thought the stall buzzer was a bad thing. When I hear that during flare, I would add power. Stupid me! That was a very great lesson. Thank you
In real life too it's a good thing... stall horn means its nearing a stall, not that it necessarily is in a stall yet. And it's letting you know it nearly has no more flying speed left. And that's what you're looking for during your round out is that sinking sensation and airspeed dropping below flying speed and often the stall horn to sound as your flaring.

I remember my first solo landing. After my 3 landings with my instructor, he got out. I was on my own. My first one was a go around. My instructor asked why I went around. I said I was too high and didn't have enough runway (4973'). He said I had plenty of runway. I remember saying, "YOU had enough runway." Hundreds of landings later, I realized he was right. But, he did tell me a go around was always a safe bet. I nailed the next two and was on my way...
I love the Tee you have on in this video! This Kalamazoo guy would love to find one Garry. I went to your website hoping you had one forsale. thanks and great videos.
I have a Jay sim and want to learn basics repeatedly before resuming my in-air training. I have 13 hours with 15 takeoffs/landings (always nice to be in pairs) and The Jay gives me the realistic feeling I didn't get with the CFI truly managing my 15 experiences. I take away some nice tips from your video.
this bloke explains things in a way i easily understand. some flight instructors make others panic and have little room for another slight style difference. great video thanks.
hey, is everything OK? haven't seen a video from you in a long time, just wondering if you're busy doing other stuff or what. hope all is well.
I watch all your videos Garry, very helpful, thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much. Hope to start my PPL in 2019, and this will be a great resource.
Commenting 1 years after your comment but hows ur ppl goinn'?
you have a great voice!! great video too, so helpful!! thank you :)
I was thinking the same, great voice. Sounds like those top 40 DJ’s in the 70’s.... that’s a compliment by the way.
Soy estudiante piloto y este es el tipo de video que justo andaba buscando! Excelente video y muy bien explicado
What a fantastic instructor! So informative!
What a Masterclass. Loads of lightbulb moments for me in this! Thanks!
I have flown a tr 182 for about 25 years all over the continent and have nearly 3000 hrs in the plane , finally quit flying at age 79. If I were still flying und would love to fly with you to learn. Thanks for a great video
The Cessna family of aircraft are very stable platforms to fly. I have had to fly a 172 in 35 kts of cross wind. No problem if you fly the aircraft down the glide slop at the right speed and fly into the round out and rudder and aileron are all there. The reference point is when you round out the stall warning blows. Its all in the POF formula.ie. CL HALFE ROW V SQUARED S
I highly doubt you flew a 172 in 35kts cross wind. They are very stable inflight but landings, forget it. The high wing is on top edge of ground effect and a handful in a 12 kt x wind. Too tipsy, way too much. If I could land at 40, I would.
Very helpful. I'm on my tenth flight and am not too bad but definitely having issues with flare. I've not been looking at the right spots I think. I will try this tomorrow or Sunday when I fly again!
Hello Garry I have learned alot from this amazing video on how to perfect on my landing technique. I'm kindly requesting if you would come up with a precise video regarding planning for a XC like how to file flight plans and plot too. Thanks and looking forward to hear from you.
What a clear and simple instruction ! Thank you Garry!
Gary, excellent instruction! It's been a long time since I've flown. I was practically born and raised in our '49 C-170A. When I was in my early thirties I inherited it after my dad passed away. I finally got that left seat, although given the choice I'd have preferred to keep my dad instead of getting the plane. However, had it been a Citabria or a Decathlon... "Sorry Dad, it's been a real pleasure but don't you have someplace to go..?" ;) When my wife became pregnant my priorities changed along with my checking account balance and hello son and goodbye airplane. :( Anyways, I've never been in a trike, lots of taildraggers though. For some reason I thought you were in a taildragger when you kept your nose up upon landing. I just never gave it any thought until just now. A trike lands on it's main gear just like a taildragger does! Wow, I might be getting senile, I'm definitely rusty! Just ignore me. Very good instructional video, Gary! I enjoyed it! PS. Beautiful runway. Was that Barstow/Daggett in CA?
Borrego Valley.
Thank you so much for sharing to every once great vedio you simplified and made it look so easy so every one can learn again thank you for the good work../best regards
Great video. I love the concept of looking down the runway a few stripes rather than the end. I never could grasp the concept of looking at the end of he runway; something my instructors tried to pound into my head. Now the comment "high wing planes tend to float..." throws me a bit. I learned to fly in Grumman T-Cats (don't laugh) but then flew Tigers and Cheetahs, all low wing aircraft. The Grumman Private Pilot course taught that low wings floated more due to a greater ground effect. I felt the difference later when I started flying the Cessnas.
Great job explaining the techniques for landing the182, but will also apply to most small Cessna's. He lands the 182 better than most videos i have seen on KZhead.
Every second of this video is informative, love it.
I’m in an amazing program where I’m learning to fly at very little cost but I’ve not been able to nail my landings. Thanks for making this video!
What program are you in?
Please tell us
Great video!!!! I love the way you describe everything. Excellently done!!!
Bob Hoover did one. Love to see another. A split S landing. That was cool. That show was a very long time ago but I still remember it and haven't seen one done since. This is a great how to video and thanks for not Hollywooding it.
This is an excellent video! I'm not a private pilot...yet. Right now I don't have the free money, but soon. I did but a book used in flight school that I am studying, so that when I do take classes I won't be completely ignorant. I really like how you explained landing by " dissipating energy," that made a lot of sense to me...thanks! You've got yourself a new subscriber :) Best regards, MiF '
This is freakin awesome! some guy throwing a Cessna around. Awesome man!
Wonderful instruction that is repeated sufficiently for us to get the technique! Thank you sir!
A Cessna pretty much lands itself, no wonder this is such a short video! Ha ha ha. Nice work here by the way - good advice.
Don't know about that. 38yrs ago, 1st solo (C-150) I almost ground looped when a sneaky cross wind came when the mains touched.
You still flying? Loved your videos, watched a LOT of them while I was training for my PPL.....
Thanks for the video. In a 172 I bring back to idle on downwind even with the runway. Then base and final no power. Only use power if needed. I'll give your approach a try.
Interesting, never heard of that method.
I used to bring power to almost to idle like at 500 ft on final and trim the a/c for 60 kts and it woked fine..... Only added power if needed to prevent gettin too low or slow ....
I’m not sure if it’s just different teaching methods or what, but I have always been taught not to go idle at all unless you’re high and fast, or already over the runway.
Of course I’ve also never flown a Cessna. My trainer were Diamond DA-40s
NO power on final? I couldn't do that at my airport, I could end up in the ocean! Maybe on a short runway with a very short approach that would be okay, depends on a lot of factors, I'd think!
Thank you. I'm 6hrs in and landing hard due to early flaring. Can be very discouraging but this helps!
Just enrolled in flight school this week... I am very glad to have stubbled across your video's!!
Thanks for the videos. I have a question, though: You say that high wing airplanes float more on the runway, but, aren't low wing airplanes more prone to float due to ground effect?
You are correct, but I _believe_ the dihedral of the Piper wing (increased drag), 10% higher stall speed of an Archer vs. C172, 10% lower MGWT of the Skyhawk (coupled with lighter wing loading) more than offsets any minimal float from Ground Effect. (And if you fly a T-tail Arrow or Traumahawk; those things _drop_ when you chop the power!)
As someone who has flown both, I'd say they are pretty darn close. In my experience, the low wings actually float more than the highs, but who knows. I think the endless hangar debate about this is somewhat useless, since every airplane is different. I just spent 25 hours for my multi rating in a Twin Comanche, and that is the only aircraft I can really say i've achieved "minimum float" on a short field, despite my previous statement. I don't think you can put a general rule on it when every plane is different. Just fly it!
Garry Wing ...where are you Gary?
It's more to do with the type of wing, take for instance a PA28-181, it basically has the wing of a Cessna 172 but in the low wing configuration. With this wing you have a taper on the end, washout and a moderate aspect ratio and camber, all which will combine to help reduce drag/increase lift. Having around 250hrs each in the C172 and PA28-181 I have found I have less of a float effect in the 172 as I've found you can bring it in much slower on finals (Maybe due to the combination of fowler and slotted flaps which help regenerate airflow for lift?) and with the right technique applied can get it to touch down on the numbers, get a bit too quick and you'll be off though - there are a few different types of landings, and when it comes to crosswinds I always carry a bit more speed and am more aiming for a nice comfortable touchdown as opposed to a "on the numbers spot landing" therefor I accept that I may have a little float, you apply each technique as required that's not important though! However let's compare 2 aircraft with 'slab' wings AKA the hershey bar wing, the PA28-140, doesn't have the same properties as a 172 and 181 wing, it distributes lift and drag relatively evenly across the wing, when you pull off the power and adjust your nose, the speed washes off and you can spot land that aircraft with very little effort. The C210 also has a slab wing, in combination with a relatively low camber - AKA low drag, faster speeds. Combined with the weight of the engine and the airframe, the C210 can land quite nicely. Sorry to ramble but I hope this explains some things to you and I hope I didn't embarrass myself by explaining something wrong! P.S. In the video it's mentioned if you can't see over the nose get a cushion or get a taller seat... Dang I still couldn't see over the nose of the C207!
I was taught to lower my windward wing when landing a Cessna 150, 152, or 172. The one time I neglected this bit of instruction I was blown way off the centerline,. Only go-around in 600+ landings. Love those Cessnas. Still looking for a decent Cardinal, non-retract. Unfortunately flying getting way too pricey. Gonna hang with my Harley a while longer.Later Alligator. Swany.
Great video! Very helpful as I've just begun to learn to land. Tell Garry to make current videos!
Why is this the BEST landing demo video.
Extremely helpful, thanks for sharing!
I am not sure if you are from Kalamazoo, but, I absolutely love the Air Zoo! I have a very strong interest in becoming a private pilot. I am getting kinda old though!
Yeah, born & raised in The Mall City. Spent many hours as a teenager bouncing a Mooney Cadet on RWY-35 at KAZO. You're never too old, as long as you can pass a 3rd Class Medical (once).
Hi, Garry. A very good lesson which I will be applying to my sim flight Cessna 172. Thank you. Larissa.
Hi Garry. This is Lucky Luciano from Brasil. Thank you so much for your helpfull videos. I wish to fly with you someday. All The Best.
awsome video!! i can equate your video to helping me nail the landing thank you Gary
Had a flight in a cessna 172 yesterday did a take off and landing. was soo much fun!
The amount of corrective movement in the stick is terrifying. That looks way more challenging than I would've thought.
No need for concern... it's because the controls become less effective as the plane slows down. Hence the need to land into the wind. All aircraft types have crosswind landing limits which must be observed and they will all remain controllable within those limits.
Well done.You are obviously a great instructor.
Fantastic video, thanks for uploading!
You are much much better than my first instructor thanks for the tips!
You did the best landing tutorial !
Awesome! Thanks for this video I'm getting ready for some challenging landings in the Colorado mountains
Fantastic video, I can tell you are an excellent teacher.
Thank you, Gary. Yes, those precious 6 minutes come only after many landings!
So the airplane stalls before the wheels touch? Love your videos!
Enjoy your videos - great content and your radio voice. Hope you are well and post some new videos soon!
man that was great i really felt it in my gut. the overspeed landing attempt was cool to see. very valuable lesson. Thanks :)
Nice and clear. Thanks to share with us your knowledge. You are great!
This video was super informative but I do have a question: when I look down 5 stripes, is that just a way of helping me gauge my position over the runway or is that supposed to indicate when I should begin my flare? I am a student pilot and have been struggling with my landings. I'm either flaring too high or too low and can't seem to tell when I should begin my flare. Thanks in advance for any advice!
Very good pilot !
Excellent Garry! All the best from Paris, France
Thank you! My Instructor (Navy Captain) taught me GUMPS from day 1, C-150 or whatever.
