My landings had somewhat deteriorated in that I tended to balloon all my landings and then getting the attitude too flat where it nearly became a three pointer.
Next flight went with the instructor.He corrected my mistakes:
Landing attitude was solved by me not holding off long enough during the''hold off'' phase.Another words I was not waiting for the ''sink-back pressure-sink-back pressure routine.
So 'round out' breaks the glide,'hold off' bleeds or washes the airspeed off and back pressure is applied during the sink relative to the sinkrate, i.e how fast the tarmac is rushing up to meet you.
Back in the groove now ...
