Hey Judy,

Welcome to the "Up Periscope" club. Most have been there, done that, got the t-shirt. If your head-set stayed on, it can't have been to bad.

An instructor (on bug smashers) once told me to try and fix the "picture" when you are lined up on the runway for take-off in you mind. That is the picture you need to roughly see when you touch down.

When on final, it helps me to dart my eyes to and from the near end and far ends of the runway. Can't promise anything but it helps me with my depth and approach angle perspective.

Finally, don't listen to the "50,20,10" call the machine is blasting in your ear, that can cause round-out problems when it doesn't call out

Your next flight will be better, remember that.

Cheers,

Chips
