Talking to the aircraft really does help! I do it all the time : )
" you Bitcx I am in command here " works wonders.
Shame I can't do the same with women : )
LOL. I do that in the flare, my words are usually 'Sit down you bitxx..'
FWIW at my club we call final before we turn final, about 3/4 of the way down base leg. Don't ask me why, one of those weird RAF things. So if I'm landing at a 'normal' strip somewhere I have to remember to call final when I'm actually on final.....
Grob Queen are you at Cranwell? Sometimes I say 'final' sometimes I say 'finals', depends how stressed I am....
. Hardly worth loosing sleep over.
