@pinkelephantsnz Agreed. I had a real engine failure, and dealing with the variables is what is required. Sadly, my lack of experience (50 hrs) ruined front gear. Happily, my training and fledgling skills did help me get it down as safely as I could. @zimrossco I did keep my airspeed higher than I should have, and it cost me. I did't stall, which was weighing heavy on my mind, BUT I landed long from my intended spot, went into the mud and ruined my f gear. :-/

perfect!

@oibal60 I BEG TO DIFFER.. YOU DEMONSTRATED A GLIDE Approach just then, or sim of a failed engine in the down wind. you dont a;ways have to go for your 67kts because there are so many variables involved.. eg 20kt HW compared to 5kt HW, the wiehgt of the plane etc..
its all mostly visual and up to pilot judgement/experience

Wow,.. very flat approach.... good practice, but remember you still do have power this time and don't be afraid to add it back.

Very good landing Bravo.
Nice landing, can I ask, do you always try to keep the airspeed higher than normal on an unpowered landing? Just learning to fly now....

Hi - Thanx.
Nope, always *immediately* pitch (up or down) to establish 'best glide speed' and then TRIM THE PLANE FOR THAT SPEED. If your airspeed is all-over-the-place then so too will be your pitch and your groundspeed. If you keep the a/s constant then you can more accurately adjust the 'HORIZONTAL track' the plane makes over the ground as well as use devices like 'flaps' and a 'forward slip' to more accurately adjust the 'VERTICAL track' the plane makes as you descend.
