That's not quite how its done....

And bluelake, I only have about 100 hours in the newer 182's, FWIW

And those pictures sure support your reply. I also have time in different year models of 182's and I have found that I have an easier time in the flare with 20 degrees of flaps.

The aircraft doesn't float as much with full flaps, meaning you can't be slow and high. As a larger aircraft, it requires more backpressure during the flare.

It's a fine aircraft that flys without any quirks. The pictures show pilot error.

Alex, I will assume that your educational post is based not on the opportunism of your cool camera, but rather on a wholesome understanding of C182 performance and handling characteristics. For my comfort, would you let me know how much time you have as PIC in a C182, i mean... flying one with your hands.

No need to be an ass. I learned to fly in a 182Q. I have a little over 50 hours in the left seat of it, I've only flown it five hours since I got my lisence.

dude. Apologies, not meant to offend :) . I like being sarcastic, but I never intend to be an ass! Lots of us got 182 time and they're really not all that cantankerous to land. The Q model might actually be my fav! And folks above defended you and i appreciate that. But, Are you gonna offer up a good digital photo location for the next bigger aircraft YOU get the luxury to train in? :):)

No problem, sorry if I came off a little harsh. I've never had a problem landing the 182 either, my point was that I think some people (like the guy in the photo) get in the plane and don't give it the respect it deserves, they think it's just a 172 and they do what this guy did. Then again, maybe some people just shouldn't be flying!

Victor,

No worries for not calling, I set the guy up for a test flight in a Sundowner here at GED. Hopefully it'll work out. We'll be taking the Pacer out to MO shortly.

Alex.
 
Thats cool Alex, he should really like the Sundowner. It's a very stable airplane with lots of room and good trailing link gear which is perfect for grass. Let me know if you guys need any training in it, I will be happy to provide my expertise.
 
There is nothing wrong with landing a C182 with full flaps.

Quit your armchair flying.


And in case anyone asks, I have 400hours in C182s.



PS.. What is with the replies. Christ, what is this flightinfo.com?
Its a picture of a guy (not the post author, btw) who is having some trouble landing. Nice picture, good example of bad landing. Quit disecting every little word.
 
Okay, note that this is a BRAND NEW C182 with the G1000 package. This is a >$300K airplane. [My favorite airplane, in fact. (I'm a Cirrus Instructor, CFI, CFII, and MEI and teach in lotsa different stuff.)] To do this to an innocent, beautiful, sleek, example of a quality aircraft is a clear violation of
FAR 91.182.

How many landings like that does it take to blow the tubes on that G1000?

That is a good question. However, I would be more worried about the firewall getting damaged than anything else. I knew for certain (not because I have done it ) that landing nosewheel first in a 182 WILL result in a creased firewall. IMHO, the best way to land the 182 is flaps 20 and an over-the-fence speed of no more than 70kts.
