Kenwayne, you are right there are lots of critics out there and want to bet that most of them have never flown into Catalina before other than on a simulator on their home computer! LOL! I am both acrobatic as well as high-performance rated and I have landed at Catalina almost one hundred times over eighteen years.
just saw GZ catalina landing....i don't like it as much as yours..by a long shot. his approach was fast (probably <10 kts above recommend approach speed) and touch down flat. not very good looking. PA28s can be landed much better than that. he should boast about it!
@wishbone415 You're being a little harsh. Stall warning on the flare is no big deal. Plus you were meandering side to side prior to touch down and off the center line... if you want to be picky.
very nice landing. fuck the critics.. they dont kno how infamous this runway is for being dangerous.

Not bad, too much stall warning, not a good thing! Checkout GZ Catalina landing if you want to see how it's done.
