Beautiful landing. Looks like the Commander is a doll!

She really is Aaron. One of the easiest and most enjoyable planes I've ever flown. The only learning curve was landing with those Garretts. Normally with most other planes from Cessnas to jets, you bring power to idle during flare. Not this bird. If you do (and I have instinctively), those nine-foot props essentially become drag-chutes as they flatten.

Bang!

The trick is to set power on final and keep it until rubber meets runway. Simple as that.

@JJLouisiana - Very cool, I love airplanes that land well with power on! Can't say I've flown anything as cool as a Commander, but the Piper Seminole does just what you're describing. Very fun and very controllable characteristic once you get it figured out.

Thanks for the reply, and again... beautiful approach and landing.

@aaron8862006 Thanks for the compliment! I hope you get to fly the AC90 one day.

I've never flown the Seminole, but I've heard that it is one of the most stable and well-behaved planes out there. Sounds like an excellent personal aircraft and trainer.

[JJLouisiana]

Not exactly. lol
