Short Field Landings...
Hey there, i was reading someone else's post and they were talking about how they failed one of their flight tests because of a short field landing... this brought up a past memory of mine by one of my past instructors who really thought short field landings really shouldn't be taught even tho he taught it to us. Because if u teach a student to land on a field which is just barely big enough to land on.... technically, the field wouldn't be big enough to take off on? That got me thinking that take-off usually does take a little big longer than landings... just thought i'd like to hear you guy's opinion on the issue about short field landings and stuff...because i know we've all been through the agony of trying to set up a perfect approach for those short field landings with the low airspeed that u know if u encountered just the slightest windshear, your plane would literally drop out of the sky =)
