DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE - Landing Video Review

As a new pilot I immediately saw if you look down it’s hard to time the flare. Staring at the horizon helps delay the early pull because the ground doesn’t look like it’s coming as fast.

Ahhh the memories you're bringing back! I was the oscillation butt landing king and it took a mental toll on me the first year. Good points and this video will help pilots dial in that landing!

Nice,best advice I learned over the years is wait for the ground.

Beautiful video Trevor, many people should see it to solve landing issues!

Good tutorial. When people ask me what advice I can give, I always say to come in as fast as possible. No brakes until you want to stop. Keep energy in that wing.

Thanks for the informative training video Trevor.

Great Video Trevor!!!!

Thats why when flying i practice landing by doing foot drags as you get lower and lower you can really feel and get comfortable with the speed and ground approaching. I see a lot of pilots freak out with the speed when they come in, pull to much break to slow down but end up stalling the wing or

Good work Trevor thanks for sharing brother.

Good teacher. Wish you had been making videos several years ago when I started.

Het Trevor, great video mate. I’ve had the issue of pulling right hand down more than the left. Think I’ve got it sorted. Keep up the great content mate.

Thank you Very well explained

Trevor, I told you awhile back that if I decide to take lessons, it would be with you. You've got the touch buddy and it’s obvious with the progress these 4 students made. I know when your working at making a living, paying bills, teaching when your not feeling it you might think what you do is just not worth the trouble. Take it from me, watching you and the students fly is like being reborn each flight and all things are possible. Me, I think I waited too long, never knowing about Paramotoring….then when I did learn about it I woke up and old guy. The dream is still there though and your videos give me great joy and pleasure although vicarious. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on the explanation.

So good instruction.

knowledge. excellent to watch and learn. thumbs up

As I see on all of these videos the pilots also simply didn't leave their sits completely . (As Trevor said in one of the cases: "put your legs under you"). A common mistake is not to slide forward completely out of your sit onto your leg straps well in advance to landing. You should be completely hanging upright - not sitting inclined with just your legs protruded 45° down forward. In sitting position your legs will likely slide, slip and you end up on your but. (Or, alterntively, you jump out of your sit too late and lose your balance). It is quite hard to get just enough grip and the right speed to stand up from the inclined position with your motor on your back! Look at it this way: You take-off running and then hanging on your leg straps and only then you get into your sit. The landing is reverse: get out of your sit hanging in the air and only then land running. If you are "scooped" with your sit on your take-off too early, or you cannot completely leave your sit before landing, you may need to adjust your harness. Another good piece of advice additional to complete hanging: put one foot slightly forward and another slightly back (not just too feet together on touch-down). This will magically automatically switch you into the running mode on touch-down! And you will normally need to run at least a few steps even with the full flare (which you should have been applied all the way at this point).

Nice video Trevor.

6" is absolutely alot! (At least this is what I tell Ll my women!!) Lmao!

This is excellent information! This is valid for bith motor and Free-Flight.
