Wink Where are you looking?

Several years ago I was given the task of helping a new guy learn to land the 747. Every landing was a very different experience. We talked the seat height, seat rake, arm rest up or down. Then I asked him where he was looking and he said over the nose. The conversation continued. Where over the nose? Over the nose at the runway. Flash, flash, how about looking at the far end of the runway and the horizon. Bang, he wired the next couple. So as we get more experience with a type we maybe bring our focus a little closer, but then we start bumping a little harder, time to get back to basics. Never been on the 37, but years of 727 experience. One would have a nice string on the 72 and then bang, drop one in. Each was l little different. Have fun, fly safe and look further down the runway to the horizon and all will be well.
