Funny about needing RAD ALT calls BELOW 10'

When checking out in the C-5, the IP covered up the RAD ALT--"you need to be able to land without it".
Read it again my friend, I didn't say I needed it, I said it would be helpful.

At the risk of sounding big headed, I usualy achieve a gentle landing within the touch down zone. Sometimes I smack it in, sometimes I float it, but usually it goes OK, and that is without the RADALT callouts below 10' (Obviously, having made that bold claim, my next few landings will be awful, so I apologise to the passengers and the airframes in advance !!)

Fly a couple of years at EGBB in a Dash 8 Q400 and you will learn a great deal about how to do turbulent crosswind landings
