With Jim Watson CFI on my FHT. Demonstrating my super skills on an ‘emergency short field landing’. Low and slow, somewhere up the back of the drag curve and 6 ft above the numbers.
Unfortunately the power ‘chop’ was a little premature. Resultant arrival was full 3 point but very firm.
“Congratulations Stewart, that was the shortest landing I’ve ever experienced in a Condor. Don’t ever do it again with one of my F.....ing aircraft, you’ll have the oleoes up through the wings!”
I passed!
