'The Art Of Takeoffs And Landings' Can Be Ordered For Most Computers And Mobile Devices
Just because you may be sheltering at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, you can still sharpen your flying skills. To help, Rod Machado is offering an eLearning course "The Art of Takeoffs And Landings" ... a series of videos lasting just under 8 hours.
"Every flight starts with a takeoff and ends with a landing, yet many pilots lack the fundamentals to do them consistently because they weren’t properly taught, or they haven’t practiced enough to be proficient," Machado (pictured) said in his news release.
"That’s where this course comes in. If you use it to pick up just one useful takeoff or landing technique, it will be worthwhile because you will use the technique over and over.
"But (trust me) there are lots of useful techniques in this course. Some of the techniques Rod teaches are unique while others you may be familiar with, but Rod often puts a different spin on them or provides an example that suddenly makes things crystal clear. In some cases, Rod will validate a technique you are already using and that can be just as valuable.
"Good takeoffs and landings start with a solid understanding and good technique — and that’s exactly what Rod delivers in this course."
The course is broken into six segments:
- Takeoffs and Climbs
- Approaching to Land
- The Roundout and the Flare
- Crosswinds and Slips
- Advanced Landing Concepts
- Pitch and Power Flying Concepts
The course is available for download for $79 from Machado's website.
