Well, back in the air again this afternoon. I'd like to be able to say that all your advice worked and I pulled off a wonder landing, but it went something like this.

Call finals. Birds singing, sun shining.

500 feet: All great. PPRuNe thread runs through my head. Sorted. Gonna be great.

200 feet: Um, am I coming in a bit low?

150 feet: F**k, I am coming in too low!

100 feet: Add power. That'll fix it.

75 feet: Bugger, might have been too much power.

a bit later, still 75 feet: Bugger, Bugger, Bugger.

even later, still 75 feet: Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger.

Instructor: I have control.

So I didn't even get to screw up the flare this time....

Oh well. Personally, I blame the pilot. Or something. Thanks one and all for your advice. Very much appreciated. Remember to check back here early next year when I finally get it....
