Landing a 172
Well, waddya know.
Conventional wisdom, and what other people have said here, has it that the problem a 152 pilot has when trying to land a 172 for the first time is that the thing floats like b*gg*ry.
It does too, I discovered on my first attempt.
But I thought about this and had another go ... and discovered that if you approach at the right speed the 172 lands itself, exactly as advertised.
From which I deduce that the phenomenon we're actually seeing is that the 172 is a lot less tolerant than the 152 of the pilot who approaches five knots too fast.
Have I got this right then?
