Any instructor who teaches you to look at the far end of the runway does not understand the correct method to judge height and or distance during the most critical part of the approach and landing.


Two responses to this;

1. Surely looking as far ahead as possible is the best way to judge rate of descent - nothing else?

2. Aiming at the landing point becomes a challenge in something like a Super Cub when most of the landing area disappears in the flare.
