Went out this morning and practiced landing a bit.  I setup a camera to see what it looked like from the ground side of things.   There was basically no wind at ground level and I placed the camera 400 feet from the threshold of the runway.   I seldom actually hit the threshold because there are power lines on that end and they make me nervous.   On all the landings power was set at idle on the downwind and not touched until I was on the ground.   All these were made with full flaps.  I'm sharing this not because I think I'm particularly good at it as you can see, but because it was fun to do.  Hopefully you won't find it too boring.

I did the same thing years back,,, got so I could set it down within 20 to 30 ft.Â Â  Every time.Â Â  Probably should do it again.Â Â Â  I liked the picture in picture.Â  What editing software?

That was very nice.  Liked both the control panel, and the inset screen.  Do more!

I've used a number of editing software packages looking for one that is relatively easy to use and still has the features I want.  I'm currently using Pinnacle Studio 17 largely because I had a friend who let me see his training video and I have come to like it pretty well but with these things I think it's mainly what you get used to.  I tried Corel Video Studio, CyberLink PowerDirector, Avidemux and a few others.  I think the Corel was probably the easiest but all of them seem to have strong and weak areas so when I actually purchased one I just chose one with the features I wanted and determined to spend the time to learn it.  It's still a struggle because I don't use it often enough to stay up on everything.  They all seem to take time to do a decent job and I'm still way back on that curve.  



Thanks,

Allan

I liked your video, and thought that the instruments being visible when you were doing the landings was nice. For that particular video especially. With my intended applications, it wouldn't work. I guess what I liked about both your software and mine is the ability to record it in MPEG 4, which seems to be the sharpest format. Perhaps you can do some more videos soon.  Larry

The GPS info is just an included file that is combined using the camera software prior to any other editing if desired.  I actually think that for what I was trying to do that just a view of the flight instruments would have been more helpful but this looks cool.. lol.

Love the format. Seeing the cockpit view, flight data, and the ground 
	


perspective at the same time is really nice.



On the subject of power lines, have you thought about contacting the 

power company to have their 'orange balls' added to the lines? They will 

probably try to charge you, but one of the original members of my 

airpark pitched it this way: when they asked for payment, he pointed out 

that the power company owned the lines, and if someone couldn't see them 

& it caused a crash, the power company would be liable. They installed 

the balls for free.

Yes that has been discussed with the field management and I have made that suggestion myself.   The portion of the field that I was landing on is not actually owned by the airport but is an extension which is privately owned.  Typically I land on the 'actual' strip which is another 5 or 6 hundred feet further on.  I think the balls would be a great thing to have in any case especially for folks trying to land there who aren't familiar with the place.  



Thanks,

Allan

Allan,



May I ask what video app did you use to film your short field landings work with that gave real-time airspeed, track etc?



Thanx,



Dave

I tried to find the boring part but was unable.  I was surprised at the amount  of tailwheeel flutter at  3:19.  I guess that's why we use springs.
