Gasax,

I don't like your comment about too many baby airline pilots. You cannot diss flying the numbers. High speed approaches are the cause of numerous nose gear collapses amongst inexoerienced pilots.

You also say, 'What is very important is looking at the touchdown point', well only up to a point, but then this has beaten beaten to death before so we shant go into that here.

As for power, I think thats absolute bull. There is no need for power in the round out in light singles, maybe in a heavy single or light twin when rate of descent is high. Power will simply increase the landing run. It is perfectly possible to round out and flare without power, it simply has to be acurate because the aircraft will decelarate more quickly than with some power. Power will do nothing to help Flying For Fun's landings.

Just my oppinion and experience of course!
