My favourite airplane is the Turbo Commander especially for slam dunk approaches that mother fucker really comes down in flight idle.
How many here practice zero / zero landings?

I like flying down the runway in the opposite direction of landing at ten feet above the runway at cruise speed at the end of the runway a forty five angle of climb and a forty five angle of bank turn is started when forty five degrees to the runway roll the other way to ninty degrees of bank and select gear down using G load to scrub speed start the nose down to end up at runway height just as you are lined up with the centre line and touch down on one wheel.
The bigger the airplane the easier it is to do.

Chuck's "Procedure Turn" - I love it!
Many many years ago, a young fellow called
Gene Soucy used to do snap rolls on final at
my tiny airport, to lose airspeed in his Pitts S1.
It's wonderful to watch a master at work. I
am highly appreciative of demonstrations of
skill accrued over many decades:
[youtube][/youtube]
What's fascinating is that while some people
appreciate such genius, there are other people
who see the masters, and try to tear them down.
Such behaviour tells more about the people in
the latter group, than the targets of their hatred.
One particular (but unnamed) poster here is always
trying to catch people contravening the CARs -
as if that matters a shit. I suppose he hates
Gene Soucy and like a hall monitor, would report
him to TC for the snap rolls on final, but oh well.
BTW, it was at an airshow. No need to report
Gene Soucy for supposed contraventions from
over 40 years ago, ok?

Remember when you asked about the B18 and I told you it is just another airplane and a dream to fly and you went out and looked at it got in it and found out it was exactly as I told you?

That's an unusual attitude and these airplane's arn't rated for aerobatics?!?At some point, you will level off and want to lower the gear, but you are far too fast, because you didn’t think ahead of the aircraft in the descent. It happens. One trick you can use is to pitch the aircraft 45 degrees nose up and convert your excessive airspeed to altitude. When the airspeed drops far enough, lower the gear, gently drop the nose (don’t go negative on the G), and descend (with the drag of the gear) back to your initial altitude. They don’t teach that to straight and level pilots, but gosh, it works well.
?!?!?!?!? Something something G limitations
Idea at least being to assertively slow down before stressing the gear doors. I don't know what they will take, and don't want them jamming cause I over stressed them. How to wreck your day and wonder if that is a cause of gear extension failure. Treat things nice, maybe they last longer. Means don't jam throttle in on a cold engine, either.

HPC forty five degrees of pitch up / down and forty five degrees of bank is not aerobatics.
I have copied my story of crop dusting for you to read, you will note forty five degrees of pitch up and down and forty five degrees of bank is the normal way of flying the airplane or you would be all day just turning around.
You """ MUST ''' quit thinking about what FTU flight instructors say about flying because in most cases they were never taught how to fly.

The Tobacco Fields - By Chuck Ellsworth
For generations the farmers of southern Ontario have planted cared for harvested and cured tobacco in a small area on the northern shores of lake Erie. Our part in this very lucrative cash crop was aerial application of fertilizers and pesticides better known as crop dusting.
At the end of the twentieth century this form of farming is slowly dying due to the ever-increasing movement of the anti-smoking segment of society. Although few would argue the health risks of smoking it is interesting that our government actively supports both sides of this social problem. Several times in the past ten or so years I have rented a car and driven back to the tobacco farming area of Southern Ontario, where over forty years ago I was part of that unique group of pilots who earned their living flying the crop dusting planes.
The narrow old highways are still there, but like the tobacco farms they are slowly fading into history as newer and more modern freeways are built. The easiest way of finding tobacco country is to drive highway 3, during the nineteen forties and early fifties this winding narrow road was the main route from Windsor through the heart of tobacco country and on to the Niagara district. Soon after leaving the modern multi lane 401 to highway 3 you will begin to realize that although it was only a short drive you have drifted back a long way in time. Driving through the small villages and towns very little has changed and life seems to be as it was in the boom days of tobacco farming, when transients came from all over the continent for the harvest. They came by the hundreds to towns like Aylmer, Tillsonberg, Deli and Simcoe, these towns that were synonymous with tobacco have changed so little it is like going back in time.
Several of the airfields we flew our Cubs, Super Cubs and Stearmans out of in the fifties and early sixties are still there. Just outside of Simcoe highway 3 runs right past the airport and even before turning into the driveway to the field I can see that after all these years nothing seems to have changed. I could be in a time warp and can imagine a Stearman or Cub landing and one of my old flying friends getting out of his airplane after another morning killing tobacco horn worms, and saying come on Chuck lets walk down to the restaurant and have breakfast. The tobacco hornworm was a perennial pest and our most important and profitable source of income. Most of my old companion's names have faded from memory as the years have passed and we went our different ways but some of them are easy to recall.
Like Lorne Beacroft a really great cropduster and Stearman pilot. Lorne and I shared many exciting adventures in our airplanes working together from the row crop farms in Southern Ontario to conifer release spraying all over Northern Ontario for the big pulp and paper companies. Little did we know then that many years later I would pick up a newspaper thousands of miles away and read about Lorne being Canadas first successful heart transplant. I wonder where he is today and what he is doing?
There are others, Tom Martindale whom I talked to just last year after over forty years, now retired having flown a long career with Trans Canada Airlines, now named Air Canada. Then there was Howard Zimmerman who went on to run his own helicopter company and still in the aerial applicating business last I heard of him. And who could forget Bud Boughner another character that just disappeared probably still out there somewhere flying for someone.
I have been back to St. Thomas, another tobacco farming town on highway 3 twice in the last several years to pick up airplanes to move for people in my ferry business. The airport has changed very little over the years. The hanger where I first learned to fly cropdusters is still there with the same smell of chemicals that no Ag. Pilot can ever forget. It is now the home of Hicks and Lawrence who were in the business in the fifties and still at it, only the airplanes have changed.
My first flying job started in that hangar, right from a brand new commercial license to the greatest flying job that any pilot could ever want. There were twenty-three of us who started the crop dusting course early that spring, in the end only three were hired and I was fortunate to have been one of them.
With the grand total of 252 hours in my log book I started my training with an old duster pilot named George Walker. Right from the start he let me know that I was either going to fly this damned thing right on its limits and be absolutely perfect in flying crop spraying patterns or the training wouldn't last long. It was fantastic not only to learn how to really fly unusual attitudes but do it right at ground level.
To become a good crop duster pilot required that you accurately fly the airplane to evenly apply the chemicals over the field being treated. We really had to be careful with our flying when applying fertilizers in early spring as any error was there for all to see as the crop started growing. This was achieved by starting on one side of the field maintaining a constant height, airspeed and track over the crop. Just prior to reaching the end of your run full power was applied, and at the last moment the spray booms were shut off and at the same time a forty-five degree climb was initiated. As soon as you were clear of obstructions a turn right or left was made using forty five to sixty degrees of bank. After approximately three seconds a very quick turn in the opposite direction was entered until a complete one hundred and eighty degree change of direction had been completed. If done properly you were now lined up exactly forty-five feet right or left of the track you had just flown down the field.
From that point a forty-five degree dive was entered and with the use of power recovery to level flight was made at the exact height above the crop and the exact airspeed required for the next run down the field in the opposite direction to your last pass. Speed was maintained from that point by reducing power.
To finish the course and be one of the three finally hired was really hard to believe. To be paid to do this was beyond belief. When the season began we were each assigned an airplane, a crash helmet, a tent and sleeping bag and sent off to set up what was to be our summer home on some farmers field. Mine was near Langdon just a few miles from lake Erie.
Last year I tried without success to find the field where my Cub and I spent a lot of that first summer. Time and change linked with my memory of its location being from flying into it rather than driving to it worked against me and I was unable to find it. Remembering it however is easy, how could one forget crawling out of my tent just before sunrise to mix the chemicals? Then pump it into the spray tank and hand start the cub. Then to be in the air just as it was getting light enough to see safely and get in as many acres as possible before the wind came up and shut down our flying until evening. Then with luck the wind would go down enough to allow us to resume work before darkness would shut us down for the day. The company had a very good method for assuring we would spray the correct field.
Each new job was given to us by the salesman who after selling the farmer drew a map for the pilots with the location of the farm and each building and its color plus all the different crops were written on the map drawn to scale. As well as the buildings all trees, fences and power lines were drawn to scale. It was very easy for us to find and positively identify our field to be sprayed and I can not remember us making any errors in that regard.
Sadly there were to many flying errors made and during the first three years that I crop-dusted eight pilots died in this very demanding type of flying in our area. Most of the accidents were due to stalling in turns or hitting power lines, fences or trees.
One new pilot who had only been with us for two weeks died while doing a low level stall turn and spinning in, he was just to low to recover from the loss of control. He had been on his way back from a spraying mission when he decided to put on an airshow at the farm of his girlfriend of the moment. This particular accident was to be the last for a long time as those of us who were flying for the different companies in that area had by that time figured out what the limits were that we could not go beyond.
Even though there were a lot of accidents in the early years they at least gave the industry the motivation to keep improving on flying safety, which made a great difference in the frequency of pilot error accidents. Agricultural flying has improved in other areas as well especially in the use of toxic chemicals.
In 1961 Rachel Carson wrote a book called "The silent spring. " This book was the beginning of public awareness to the danger of the wide area spraying of chemicals especially the use of D.D.T. to control Mosquitoes and black flies.
For years all over the world we had been using this chemical not really aware that it had a very long-term residual life. When Rachels book pointed out that D.D.T. had began to build up in the food chain in nature, she also showed that as a result many of the birds and other species were in danger of being wiped out due to D.D.T. Her book became a best seller and we in the aerial application business were worried that it would drastically affect our business, and it did.
The government agency in Ontario that regulated pesticides and their use called a series of meetings with the industry. From these meetings new laws were passed requiring us to attend Guelph agricultural college and receive a diploma in toxicology and entomology. I attended these classes and in the spring of 1962 passed the exams and received Pest Control License Class 3 - Aerial Applicator.
My license number was 001. Now if nothing else I can say that I may not have been the best but I was the first. Without doubt the knowledge and understanding of the relationship of these chemicals to the environment more than made up for all the work that went into getting the license. From that point on the industry went to great length to find and use chemicals less toxic to our animal life and also to humans.
It would be easy to just keep right on writing about aerial application and all the exciting and sometimes boring experiences we had, however I will sum it all up with the observation that crop dusting was not only my first flying job it was without doubt the best. I flew seven seasons' crop dusting and I often think of someday giving it another go, at least for a short time. [/quote]

I know. I got suckered in by all the internet bullshityou asked about the B18 and I told you it is just another airplane and a dream to fly
about it being a "Fire-Breathing Dragon" and that a
self-checkout would certainly end in disaster - 100%
guaranteed. I heard all these horror stories from old
pilots about the Beech 18 swapping ends on landing -
guaranteed.
Of course, they were all 100% full of shit - it was a
wonderful airplane - you were right!
I wrote this, to try to inform future Beech 18 pilots
about all the bullshit:
www.pittspecials.com/articles/Beech18.htm
Two things I have learned in life:
1) almost everything people tell you is
wrong. It doesn't matter how fervently
they believe it, what ain't malice is stupidity
2) Get 1000 hours in a Pitts. After that,
nothing else is hard to fly.

I know you are being funny but I want to clear45 degrees up in pitch ?!? That's an unusual attitude
something up right away:
TC does not define an exact pitch attitude for
aerobatics. Abnormal is a very large and very
grey area.
For example, it is normal for me to pull (or push)
to the vertical upline at the end of the runway.
A friend of mine, Rick Volker, was hassled by the
Rochester FSDO because they didn't like him climbing
out at Vy - the FAA didn't like the pitch attitude of
his Sukhoi at Vy.
His response to them is unprintable here. No charges
were ever laid.
A friend of mine was busted for flying over 250 knots
below 10,000. Small detail: it was in a MiG-23, of
which at the time, he was the only type-rated pilot
of in North America. He appealed and won, because
when it is full of fuel after takeoff, it must be operated
above 250 knots - the flight manual says so.
These sorts of details are often not apparent to
chubby cube dwellers. Nor are they of any interest
to them.
But if you have any questions about flying or maintaining
a Mig-23, be sure and contact your local TC Inspector.

One of the most frustrating points in my flying career was when I started my flying school I went into TC's office and had a talk with the guy in charge of flight training and explained why I wanted to start a flight school, it was to pass on all the things I had learned during my career.
Eventually I told him I wanted to renew my flight instructors rating, the coc.sucker looked me right in the eyes and said that it would be very difficult for me because it was evident I had to many preconceived ideas about how to fly.
I was dumbfounded and didn't quite know how to react so I calmly got up and told him this was the first real mistake I ever made in aviation asking for advice from a fuckin idiot like him.
Anyhow he was correct I started the FTU in 1986 and five years later sold it because it was impossible to deal with TC's flight training department....and of course they never renewed my instructors rating because when I tried I just got stonewalled and gave up because I would have needed a full lobotomy to do it their way.
They are the biggest problem in aviation in Canada because they are control freaks and unless you are willing to bend over and take it in the ass anytime you deal with them you will never get approved.
