Landing a Cessna C182 at PARADISE BEACH

[Music] good morning from sunny plattenburg bay we have this beautiful 182 that we're flying around the area and yesterday we picked her up at stanley's island florida's a plot for some refueling and some touch and goes and now we're actually heading eastwards towards paradise beach that's near jeffrey's bay which is a surfer's valhalla where we'll go for some breakfast and some swimming for the rest we got fuel we got our bathing suits and uh we're all hungry so i have this old beaten up map of south africa with all the airstrips in the country we're here plentberg bay and as we fly eastwards we enter the eastern cape province and right over there that's where paradise beaches it's a west of port elizabeth airport this is bringing back sweet memories of sid martin with the 206 cover that was always so much effort to take on and off but it's it's a lot better for the plane so we had a little bit of rain last night you can still see that the plane is a bit damp here and there now the cessna 182 is a bit notorious for leaking fuel caps and so what you need to do after you had some rain you need to to rock the wings to make sure that if there's any water leak into the into the tanks that the water will be by rocking it we transport it to the lowest point so with the fuel strainer we can strain it out and i'm not saying that there is water in there but better be safe than sorry and that's why we rock it a bit and that's this should be enough now straight straighten the fuel and see if there's any drops of water in there so my mom always knows how to do these things and pack everything up in the plane years of experience flying uh with my dad in the 182 then you definitely know how to pack this workhorse up enough no signs of fuel all right no sir no signs of fuel and what you can see is the water is always the heaviest part so if there's any water in there it should be in the bottom uh it could be all water but the thing with the f gas is that it's blue so if you see a blue color and you smell then sure that's gas no water in here you struck by the twelve thank you [Music] quickly gonna put on my sunglasses people might wonder why i always change the glasses on the ground and my flying ones but i use flying eyes for flying and i'm very careful with them because i i really love using them as you can see the uh the little feet are incredibly thin and i can just pop them right under my headset and it won't affect my uh my active noise canceling but got these on platinum bay traffic papa julie bravo entering backtracking runway
