Thanks
Guys,
Thanks for the input; I wish that some of the guys I fly with spend as much time thinking about what is a good landing.
Close to home, its pretty sad when you see a continuous stream of C172s and PA28s doing circuits, at a local military airfield; floating with too much speed and landing apparently with power on to get that "greaser".
I reckon the following quote from the U.S. Navy's Approach Magazine (May '82) says it well:-
[COLOR=blue]It is a true confidence builder when a pilot can make a landing nose high; on centreline; in the first 1 000 feet of the runway, with zero thrust at touchdown. When he can combine a "great" landing with a soft touchdown, the multi-engine pilot will experience a feeling so good it's almost indecent. And do you know what the best part of it is? It'll be a SAFE LANDING with PROPER PROFILE TECHNIQUE[COLOR=blue]
Aye,
