Bounce landing recovery technique
I would have thought that practice (and patter) at bounced landing recovery - or high round-out recovery - should be part of the instructor course syllabus of training. Was surprised to find out that some flying schools do not advocate training for this manoeuvre and in fact there are a few PPL and CPL holders that have never been taught how to recover and land from a bounce. In turn it means that many instructor graduates have never done a bounced landing recovery yet they are supposed to teach students all aspects of aircraft handling near the ground. A case of the blind leading the blind, maybe?
The feeling is that it is too dangerous and that a go-around is always the best thing. A very low speed full flap go-around after a series of bounces can be a tricky handling manoeuvre particularly if the nose is left cocked high. Surely it is easier and safer to just add a touch of power and land gently off the bounce.
And some flying schools have a policy of never allowing solo stall recovery practice. This means a student has only ever done it dual. If by definition the student has been certified competent via the Day VFR Syllabus (Australia) to recover from all types of stalls then why do some schools prevent solo practice in say the C150, C172, Jabiru, Warrior and suchlike?
