LOL !!!! Of all the aircraft I've instructed in, the T6 would be the last one I'd pick in an effort to justify the term "fool proof landings".bobsk8 wrote:A video of fool proof landings in the AT6 with a crosswind would definetly be appreciated.
In any airplane one can define a technique or techniques that should or should not be used when dealing with landings but there is no single technique that will work correctly every time.
With this being said, in the 6 there is nothing unique about landing it really. It's just that it's heavy, has a short gear spread, and as such requires pilots landing it to be quick, smooth, and head's up.
I will say this about the 6. Practically all the landing accidents that have occurred in this aircraft were caused by two factors; one being allowing the nose to wander more than a few degrees off the center line before correction and two, not carrying correct aileron for wind during the roll out.
Control these two factors and you can fly the T6.
