Many thanks to you all for your contribution to help my landings.
There is now more comprehensive information on landing in this thread than I have seen in any textbook or been taught!.
I hope this also helps others who are fine tuning their landing proceedure.
Having read all your posts I now recognise that my problems are:
1) Speed too high over the threshold
I stabilise the approach speed at 75knts with full flap (flying school requires this). I do find that trimming to a very slight forward pressure does help when it comes to the flare as the column naturally wants to go in the direction I should be moving it in.
I have been closing the throttle as I come over the numbers, I think I will try trickling the throttle off slightly earlier.
2) Not fully completing the flare
Earlier balloning experiences have made me reluctant to pull back. I now appreciate that I need to keep increasing that angle of attack gently as I detect sink.
Wow, I don't have any excuse for messing up in the lesson tomorrow! I will let you know how this works out
Slim_Slag: thank you for the Landing doc !
