Do you have any tips on how to do this or is it really just a case of practice makes perfect?
no such thing...but its a nice myth..and something to aspire to..
there are good landings, bad landings and greasers...the latter is as close as you will get..each one is different...even for people doing it day in day out.remember the last time someone tried to plant you in a large jet??...it happens....just as it does in a 172 training....
but it gives you something to aspire to and work towards.
practice helps but just when you think you've nailed it..along comes a day with windshear or turbulance and thats followed by a satisfying feeling or humility...your choice..so nail that speed to the correct numbers..get the rate or descent right and practice..
i have a book called ''make better landings'' by alan bramson.have a look for it...might give you some help....
he autographed it '' to *** who has never made a bad landing ''....so even if i do....i have a certificate to prove that i do'nt do it..!!!!
