Know Where to Look During the Flare - Learn More from Rod Machado
Not sure where to look when flaring an airplane for landing? Let me help you find the correct spot to spy during the roundout and flare. It turns out that the advice we're often given about where to focus our vision during the landing flare doesn't work for everyone. In fact, it doesn't work for most student pilots when learning to land. Not only does it not work for student pilots, but as a pilot ages, it doesn't work for him or her. So here are a few tips for new and older pilots that will help them land as soft as a butterfly with sore feet.Learn More about Rod Machado Flight Training! | More Flight Training Videos!
The Ultimate Flying Equation: A+P=P - Learn More from Rod Machado
Aviation also has its venerable equations, and one of my favorites involves absolutely no serious math at all. This equation expresses the relationship between attitude, power and performance. It's to be taken seriously, but not literally. It reads as follows: Attitude + Power = Performance (A+P=P). This is the equation I use on every flight. Every one! When the two variables of attitude and power are exchanged for specifics, I can estimate my airplane's performance with a high degree of precision.

The Best Airplane for Training - Learn More from Rod Machado
If you had the choice - and we don't always have this choice - what airplane should you choose for primary flight training? Four place? Two place? Technically advanced or round-dial instrument-equipped airplane? After many years teaching others how to fly I know what I'd choose and it's the recommendation I make to all of my primary students. Watch to learn my recommendation for the ideal training airplane for sport or private pilot training.Learn More about Rod Machado Flight Training! | More Flight Training Videos!
Weber's Law for Pilots - Learn More from Rod Machado
Did you know there's a law of psychology that explains why you're better off making rapid trim changes instead of slow, small ones after establishing a new flight attitude? The same law explains why you almost always notice even the slightest change in engine sound when aloft. So, sit back, strap in, grab that popcorn and prepare to learn something about Weber's Law.Learn More about Rod Machado Flight Training! | More Flight Training Videos!
