| It sounds like such a simple concept, to fly a “stabilized approach” to the runway. It’s something new student pilots are told as they begin to master approach to land and landing. But that simple phrase can be interpreted many ways, and some work better for new students than others. Take a moment and listen to this presentation as we dissect both the final approach leg of the traffic pattern and the instructional methods used to help new pilots fly it well.
SCFC invites back CFI Dan Dyer, whose passion for effective instruction and for landing in particular give him the perfect vantage point to help us pull apart the issues behind what a stabilized approach is. Dan will share his journey as a pilot and some of the mistakes he made along the way to building landing proficiency, and how for many years his understanding of “stabilized” was working against him. As an instructor, he had to rebuild the thought process behind flying a final approach and has found a way that is easier for new pilots to think about aircraft control on final, including what he believes is the most effective order of operations on final and on short final. If you are a new student struggling with landings, or even if you’re an advanced pilot that wants a different way to think about the control paradigm that sets you up for the perfect landing, join us to hear this new approach to stabilized landing. |
