Help with night flying!
Hi everybody. I'm halfway through my PPL training and yesterday I had my first lesson for Night Qualification. I must say it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life! I almost got tears in my eyes. It was truly amazing....except for the landing...
I basically flew the plane into the runway since I had no experience judging the flare height at night, I thought we were much higher than we were. My CFI said it was ok, since everybody does it the first time. How ever, the second and third landing went a bit better, still it was very hard to judge the height. We also had a bit of crosswind and windshear and that didn't make things easier.
Has anyone any tips and hints to make the landing a bit easier??
Or perhaps it will come to you eventually, how to judge the height?
Thanks!
Henrik
