I think part of the problem is that we are at the start of the good weather & people are taking to the air after a few months off. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .. .Sounds a lot like me yesterday. Realising this before starting, I done some circuits and, like your friend, some of the first landing were a bit fast & further down the runway than I would like <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> . And unlike your friend, I did go around once ( twice more due to ac on the runway <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> ).. .. .I think that, at this time of year, we all have to be a bit cautious. One of my enforced go arounds was due to an aircraft landing too far down the runway & not getting off in time. The other was due to an ac getting on the runway to take off & sitting there.. .. .And finally, I just thought I'd mention. I finihed off with my last 3 landings on or v.near the numbers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> . .. .BtB
