  • Landings are difficult, but there is a moment during training where they start to make sense. After all the botched ones and the go arounds, something finally starts to make sense and students start producing some consistency. Today is that day for JD. Great job brother!
    Enjoy the landings!

    this trick for holding the nose level until it drops away has really helped me... in flight sim. It helps to get in practice going in full power, with no flaps, into a super long runway, (which I know is so against sop irl but this is a simulator) and I just float down the runway until the plane tells me it wants to land, and then I pull back to keep the attitude right and have a really smooth landing

    Was the same for me. Once I realized I had to KEEP pulling back and KEEP the airplane off the ground until ALL of the airplane's energy was gone and the airplane had no choice but to come down...then my landings got much smoother. Two signs you are doing it right: the stall horn is going off and the control yoke is all the way back when the wheels touch down.

    I can relate to this! I started training 3 weeks ago, and last week we started circuits. I've been progressing pretty fast through the material, and I was expecting the same with landings although I faced lots of difficulty with flaring. My instructor and I worked on it in the circuit for a while and I made plenty of hard landings. The next flight and about 2 bad landings in, it randomly clicked with me and I was able to make 3 pretty good landings in a row. I should be going solo in the next 2-7 days!
