DOF (#142),
I think fear of (a bad) landing is fairly common. After all, we all know that in the air a properly trimmed aircraft flies itself. All you have to learn is one little trick (to get it into the air), and one big one (to put it down again).
In my case, landing-phobia led to crap approaches. My clever Instructor sensed what was wrong, and we did a string of low-level overshoots, going lower each time round, approaches got much better (as I was free of my phobia), till at last my Instructor said (about !00 ft), "Now land !" - it was a 'greaser'. My phobia vanished.
In my case, I found the trick was, not to fix your vision on the tarmac in front of the nose, but on the far end of the runway, that way you can feel when it is ready to "sit down". Worked (most times) for me.
