Spoiled landings
Hi vdehart,
I would say that, especially at your stage of training, if ANYTHING goes wrong with a landing don't continue it. Get the power on, (which will instantly give you control authority,) and do a go round.
And if, having done a go round, you have something go wrong with your next landing, DO THE SAME AGAIN.
And be prepared to do go rounds until you get a landing you are satisfied with.
I learned on tail-draggers where this advice was perhaps more emphasised because tail-draggers are more tricky to land; (they tend to bounce with very little provocation).
The modern tricycle is so good at making a poor landing work that pilots tend to expect always to be able to complete any landing successfuly, no matter how ropey. This is not good practice because sooner or later you will have a landing that can't be fudged by relying on the poor, abused, undercarriage to save the day.
Good luck!
BP.
