Two new aviation videos for download

One would think that with a slick runway the.. uhm..."plant"...

Actually it seemed fairly nice to me. Camcorders tend to greatly
exaggerate
landing impacts in my experience.

Is it the camcorders...or the angle that the video is shot from? A low angle
would emphasize any "bounce".(?)

....and load "Landing.mov", fourth down on the right. Notice the hard hit on
the right main.

What I noticed was that he's on two wheels at the end, nose and right
main.
Looks like poor x-wind correction to me!

Looks to me like he landed:

1) Left main
2) Nose wheel
3) Right main (hard hit).

When the left main touched, it bounced a bit and the nose came down too
soon. He didn't seem to be making x-wind corrections (but it's not exactly a
high res picture).

Kinda' hard with those LONG legs.

If you'd like to see what landing in Iowa City after a December
snow
storm
is like, you can get a "back seat view" by clicking
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/landing_in_iowa_city.htm .

For a low approach down Rwy 25, click
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/low_pass_in_iowa_city.htm

For those of you not accustomed to snow, it's kinda fun to see.

They come out as an outline with a white box (with a little red "X")
in the upper left corner.

My firewall blocking something?

In my case they come out as a grey box that says "click" in the
middle. If I click it says I need some plugin but the file doesn't
specify which one. I think they're RealPlayer, which would explain
it; I don't allow that on my system.

They are .avi files. Depending on your operating system, you may be
able to right click and then "save as" then open with your favorite
movie viewer.

I'm with you, I HATE realplayer AND quicktime for that matter, they both
try real hard to take over your system. Anyone know of a third party
player that plays MOV and RM files?

completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools."---- Douglas Adams

Actually, as others have said, the camcorder (or, in this case, a Canon Elph
S400, shooting an .avi movie) greatly exagerates the touchdown bump.

It was, in fact, a near-greaser, with absolutely no side-drift (essential
when landing on ice.).

It's an .avi file. Try right-clicking and saving it, and THEN opening it
with your favorite movie-playing software.

It's an .avi file. Try right-clicking and saving it, and THEN opening it
with your favorite movie-playing software.

Also, try associating .avi files with Windows Media Player. This is a
setting you can access from within Media Player, or through "My Computer".

It plays normally with Windows Media Player.

Not when they're mounted on a tripod and have image stabilization...

See http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer/Flights.asp#031115 (Landing HGR) for an
example.

I agree with you so far. But if you look at it again you will notice that
right at the end of the video the left main is off the ground. You can
only
lift a wheel after planting it on the ground if you turn the ailerons the
wrong way. I know - I've done it! :-(

That his left was off the ground... my eyes are not good enough anymore to
pick that up. :~(

Changed the default viewer to MediaPlayer and that fixed it.

I, too, hate RealPlayer and QuickTime for the reasons you state; until
recently, RealPlayer had taken a lot of heat for it's privacy violations.
