Guys, guys, guys. NO WHERE did I say I struggle with my landings. Read my post C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y
"I am fairly confident that I land well on most occasions, consistently."
If I did not know how to land after 180 hours, I would have quit 160 hours ago.
My question was, whether for most guys flying light aircraft, if the last 1-3 feet before touch down is judged on "feel" and experience, or an ability to judge height perfectly. You can judge you are very close to the runway surface, but is it 1 foot or 4 foot. I am talking about the last 2 - 3 seconds of the flight ... which determines whether it will be a greaser or a landing you can feel (firm). I can damn guarantee you that many guys judge this on feeling, and that was what I wanted to know.
OBIE2: Some guys fly for FUN. Not everyone flying a plane MUST go for CPL and MUST become an instructor. If you become an INSTRUCTOR because you MUST, and not because you WANT TO, then please let me know so I can stay WELL CLEAR OF YOU.
DONT HANG UP: Very interesting reply. It certainly gives a new perspective.
AAIGUY: Good to know with 8000 hours behind you you still get the odd hard landing. Makes us low-time guys feel less "guilty" about the odd non-greaser.
