What's the lowest altitude you can start a flare and still make a proper landing ?
Depends on the airport elevation.
That made me spill my coffee
I hope KayPam et al. can appreciate the occasional sarcastic jokes in this thread instead rather than taking it personally
KayPam, the flare is very much black magic, a seat of the pants skill that cannot be thought by reading a book. A slow flare from 50 ft may have the same result as an aggressive flare from 15-20 ft. I sometimes brace myself for impact as we come down and I cannot detect any appreciable flare from my colleague. Expecting a real crusher. The result? A kisser. The landing is one of those things you never get better at over the course of a career
