A miss is as good as a mile.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
Any landing that you can fly away from is a great landing.
Nobody panicked even if they didn’t nail the landing.
Once you become a glider, your options are limited, and although all private pilots train for engine out emergencies, it’s hard to get over the instinct that altitude is good.
Once upon a time, a man spun in and landed his single engine plane inverted in a field, with his family onboard, near where I lived because he thought that it was better to press on regardless at the edge of an approaching hurricane rather than sit it out and await better weather the following day.
The plane looked pretty good, aside from being upside down and somewhat crunched. No survivors.
