Tiger-ing
WS.
Wonderful!! Sounds about right...simple, reassuring instructions are what I found best. And keep highish on final too....you can always slip it in if you need to.
Even today 2-way communication in a Tiger is a bit hit & miss at best. Had a big sortie scrubbed in a DA40 the other day because the instructor couldn't communicate with ATC....jeez in a Tiger, on navex's, there always seem at least one of the two pilots (you need two these days....) who can't hear what's going on beyond the cockpit!?!
What struck me on the Tiger is how much a role peripheral vision plays in the flare. Following the lead of the instructors, I now find myself peering over the side when she's about ready to touch....in fact, I notice they usually prepare themselves for that very thing by opening the bijou little door Mr DH provided.
Whatever works....god I miss taildragging...think I need to phone the Tiger Club....where's that mobile?!?
