HOW to Takeoff Fly and Land a Microlight Trike Aircraft | Camera Audio record setup

This one is epic... Advanced plane landing techniques and Camera Setup! It demonstrates several Landing and Takeoff techniques in different conditions (the wind wasn't exactly smooth during these flights!).

We also take a look at my aircraft camera setup with twin camera and audio recording. There was an hour of video - from each camera!

00:00 Intro
02:32 So the first thing we are going to do is a normal takeoff.
02:37 Maryborough traffic microlight 6257 lines up runway 12 and holds for the technam.
02:54 Maryborough traffic Technam 8006 crosses runway 12 Maryborough traffic.
Maryborough traffic microlight 6257 lines up rolls runway 12 for a circuit Maryborough traffic. Here we go.
05:57 So this is a normal kind of an approach. And we check that there is nothing incoming on runway 12, we try and visualise where the Technam is.
06:08 Maryborough traffic microlight 6257 turns short final runway 12 touch n go Maryborough.
06:38 So here we are we're on descent 500 feet per minute aiming for the threshhold of runway 12.
07:39 Soft field approach this time. So we've just done a feely normal takeoff there, and climbing out at 800 feet per minute. Maryborough traffic microlight 6257 is airborne runway 12 turning crosswind for another circuit runway 12 Maryborough traffic.
09:10 Ok we are going to full stop this time because we are going to do a nice short abrupt landing. What we are going to do is we've got to come in nice and low. We've got to hold that crosswind upwind turn.
10:10 So now I can demonstrate a short field takeoff. Now a short field takeoff is basically we want to make sure we get airborne and all the weight off the wheels as soon as we can, which means we hold the wing forward, we give it full power with the brakes on, and with the brakes on once the power has come up, we release the brakes so we a going. We'll be airborne very quickly, before the bituman runway especially with this headwind. Ok so short field or soft field takeoff here we go.
12:54 Maryborough traffic microight 6257 turns base runway 12 touch n go Maryborough.
Alright we are on base turning over the dump which is always dirty and we are going to do a turbulent landing. Now this means we come in quite quickly ok so we are going to maintain some power on.
13:14 Maryborough traffic microlight 6257 turning short final runway 12 touch n go Maryborough.
Shall we try a crosswind? I'm not confident but we will give it a go.
So normally we come in we've got to - I'll have to check the crosswind actually. Let's just turn around.
14:52 Maryborough traffic microlight 6257 is turning crosswind runway 12 Maryborough.
15:00 Alright so we are going to do a landing on runway 17. Maryborough traffic microlight 6257 is downwind runway 17 for a touchngo Maryborough traffic.
20:27 We're going to land long this time allowing for that crosswind and the rotor off the trees again but we're going to dive in this time. We're going to do a 2-stroke microlight type engine out fail safety arrival as if we had no power, but we're maintaining inertia speed to avoid problems with turbulence and gusting as we always fly then ... so here we go. Maryborough microlight 6257 is finals runway 17 touchngo Maryborough.
22:27 The last thing I want to demonstrate is 'S' turns on final. Maryborough traffic microlight 6257 is turning crosswind runway 17 for another circuit Maryborough. This time we'll be using runway 12 Maryborough traffic.
22:41 Ok so we're coming around we're at 700, we'll just drop a bit. Now we're on crosswind for 12 now, we have arrived at the 12 crosswind. We're looking at the windsock, the windsock is straight down.
26:38 Alright we're ready for our afternoon flight, and some of you have been asking how I set up my cameras.

About this channel:
Hello, I am CrayonBox and have now been flying trikes for over 5 years. This vLog is a project where I take you to the skies and we discuss ideas and flying as I ride alone or with a rear seat passenger.

Enjoy my exciting new series of videos - Microlight Flight vLogs. Let me know if there are any topics or questions you may want to discuss regarding flying microlights.

There are many ideas coming to keep you fastened in your seats and coming back for more. Be sure to Like & Subscribe if you would want to see more future videos!

Buckle Up! Let's go.
