GA Landing Technique...
Hey Everybody,
Forgive me if this has been already posted by someone else but i cant find any info so here i go...
Basically, my landing technique (Cessna 152) has been gettin progressively worse than it has before. I'm 17 going on 18 and at the moment dont fly often enough really to give good continuity in my lessons with my instructor.
I either do not bring the nose up on touchdown to initiate a good flare with the main landing gear (ending with a rather flat hard thump) or have trouble co-ordinating the ailerons and rudder, especially in X-wind conditions to provide a wings level touchdown causing me to stray across the runway touching down with only 1 wheel (which can be quite nerve-racking!)
I was hoping some of you more experience lot out there could give me some tips to ensure a more smooth landing? ( I know about 'keeping the picture' and 'looking up the far end of the runway') but i seem to loose all that thought just before touchdown.
Hope you can help (and hope this is in the right forum!)
