Good job with power/pitch deceleration (slow enough to sink to so dynamic throttle for glide angle, elevator for deceleration) to eliminate need to round out which results in float in hold off. While headwind will provide free relative wind and allow even further ground speed reduction, watch for sink under the line of wind stream like water as the wind comes off the mesa. Of course sink is good to bring the throttle into dynamic play for exact glide angle and rate of descent. We just don't want more sink than throttle. Prop blast is part of what makes the power/pitch approach the best short field approach. It works with the steep glide angle as well, over trees or to be above the declination line (line of wind flow off the mesa.) We are going for an airspeed, in low ground effect, well below Vso, and out of ground effect number. Done well, we will touch down slowly and softly with power exactly on the desired spot. Again, good job. Done well.
I just noticed your name. Is the Zoom from Stick and Rudder's "law of the roller coaster?" Without zoom reserve, kinetic energy, don't pull on the elevator. Use potential energy of altitude, dynamic neutral stability, to make 1 g turns at any bank angle (don't pull on the elevator.) On that 1,300 runway takeoff, Wolfgang would want us to still be at level and 2' AGL at the end of the runway with zoom reserve energy. Yes, he said try to hit the tree and then zoom over, but no tree to just clear so save all that good airspeed. Airspeed, not just enough altitude to kill us, is life down low. Again, good job.
Bro, can u share ur landing tips? I find ur landing video is really nice and smooth. Would like to know more about how did u judge ur flare. I have been always struggling with the flare part. Thanks so much
Nice landing, especially given length and the optical illusions you can get from the airport being on the hill like that. What was the elevation of the airport?

That was awesome dude. What a nice little air field.

Awesome 😎 🔥🔥🔥
You love that airstrip and are getting valuable practice every time you fly in and out of it. Keep it up !

Nice landing and a nice Archer. Where is this airport?
I'd love to know as well! Looks like a fun place to visit in MSFS

Do you have to get permission to land there ahead of time?
