the book, ''stick and rudder'' is the best book you can read, so do it...it talks about landing quite a bit.
now this might sound odd, but think about it...assuming you know how to drive a car, you probably learned how to stop at a stop sign (do the australians have stop signs?)
how did you judge the stop?
early on you overshot the stop sign
or stopped too soon and came up short
but eventually you got it just right (assuming it isn't raining or a bunch of kangaroos get in your way)
its the same sort of thing judging the flare...so play with it
oh
and except for the danger to your knee, go to a department store. Ride the escalator (is that what they call the moving stairs in Australia ?) down.
You judge getting off the escalator in the same way you will judge the FLARE in landing.
I have a feeling many will laugh, but you give it a try...see how you change the gaze of your eyes as you land off the escalator.
so, go to the book store, buy "stick and rudder" by langweische, read it a whole bunch of times, and maybe take the escalator down while you are at the mall.
