STOL Tips: Attitude flying

By General Aviation News Staff · March 2, 2016 ·

Interested in learning more about backcountry flying? Patrick Romano of Backcountry Aviation published a series of stories and videos on BackcountryPilot.org that will give you tons of tips on mastering the techniques needed to be successful.

The first installment of The Approach — a series on strategy for approaching and departing backcountry airstrips — covers final approach, and shows how proper use of attitude flying can produce a stable landing with very little excess energy that could otherwise extend landing and rollout distance.
