One of my new PPL members lost confidence in landings after a bad one. So we went up and i said i will show you what i call the trial lesson landing, actually soft field landing.
Leave the power on short final at 1300-1400 rpm, full flap and had them use both hands on the control wheel. I know they shouldn't but there seemed some difficulty keeping the wings level. After 30 mins they regained confidence so next flight we will start to back off the power in stages to a normal landing.
The problem started with chopping the power too soon with full flap and the aircraft dropping onto the runway due insufficient flare.
