Short field landing problems- anyone help?
Circuit bashing the other day to try and improve my landings (which are seem to be getting worse rather than better), and I thought I'd try short field landings as I could never really master them during my training.
I was taught by my instructor to give it max. flap and a quite steep approach with a very late round out and flare, applying brakes almost as soon as all three wheels are on the ground. In my GFT, however, the examiner wasn't impressed with my technique, saying that I should be doing it long, low and slow (the landings, that is).
What do other people do when faced with a short field? At the moment the only thing I seem to be doing is kangaroo impressions.
