- 2 bounces then go-around, don’t wait to be told.
- after touchdown, keep the stick easing back until you hit the stop and hold it there.
- don’t look inside or at taxiway exits during the landing roll until you’re at taxi speed. That includes resetting flaps / trim.

these notes aren’t too bad.

what type will you be flying?
Thanks for those tips! trying my hand in a decathlon, and did some aerobatics in it last year (about 5 hours) but never landed or took it off, only taxied and flew the thing upside down a bit, but I have caught the bug and am chomping at the bit to fly it!
