Thank God I'm Young!

Well, I can't say I fly a Triple 7 or a 73' (actually I fly VH-HXK - A Piper Warrior at Horsham) and while I might only have 8.6 hours flight time - I'm pleased to say that I'm learning how to land (at least better than my first few attempts!). Cut the power over the fence, glide, hold off, hold off, hold off, back pressure, back pressure, back pressure... Ahh, Got it down! And what's more, I'm on the centreline and have plenty of black stuff in front of me (and only a little behind me!)

Interesting thread - I love reading about how you guys in the majors do your thing - hopefully one day I can join in threads like this with the knowledge of an Airline Pilot.

Cheers and wish me luck.

Soulman.
