When ever the flair height and where to look discussion comes up it never ceases to amaze me at how few Instructors understand the subject.
If you are not capable of accurately judging the flare height and the hold off height you are guaranteed to have poor landing skills.
The biggest problem in teaching landings is looking in the wrong area to judge height..... it is as simple as that.... if you cannot accurately judge your height above the runway you are not landing you are arriving.
And it is not possible to accurately judge height above the runway by looking at the far end...... period ......
I know this is the private pilot thread, however that does not mean that private pilots should not understand how to land properly.
The problem of course is poor instructors.
