We have the luxury of being in powered flight. If a landing is going wrong, go around, to swallow your pride is to cost you thousands. I too learnt that the hard way.
These things happen! You know yourself where u went wrong but thanks for putting up the vid. I did something simular but in a crosswind. I think all of us trike pilots can say "i wont do that again" in a particular situation. Anyway safe flying!
Well said Homeboy73. These "errors in judgement" are invalueable to all that wish to persue microlight flying. I'm glad to hear all are ok. Thanks for posting. :)
Hey, thanks for sharing. It always asks character to to publish mistake where other microlight pilots (like myself) can learn.
Looks like you turned into final bit too late and steep, which eventually lead into "wide" base leg and last moment corrections. Maybe pull up would have been the best option during final.
We'll I',m sure you know all this already. So much easier to comment these afterwards. Anyways, nice correction and happy outcome. Thats what matters.
@trondklock Exactly what I was about to say.

Goes to show how a number of apparently minor things can have devastating consequences.
Let's all learn from this! I'm very happy you and your passenger weren't hurt (oh, and that you didn't prang your kite of course!)
