Dead stick landing, pros and cons
Greetings!
First off I love reading posts on this site! Alot of good brain power going on. I have been out of flying for ten years, and now getting back in. Closest active flying club is about 40 miles away, but where I live in south Texas, have plenty of access to some great grass farms. I now have 3 planes and waiting on my latest toy, a Sig Rascal 110, with the sometime cursed Supertigre 3250 I plan on mating to it. I have 3 high wings, 1 taildragger and 2 tricycle.
Being I usually fly by myself, or people just as dumb as me, I don't get to see common pratices, with good pilots. Sorry for long leadin, but question is: Is it common for most pilots to land under power? I deadstick mine fine on landings, and although sometimes I may walk 50 yards to fetch one, I hadn't broke a prop or anything else I couldn't fix, yet. Give me your imput on what you consider the proper way of landing!! Thanks, Larry.
