Wind shear on very short final of L26

L26 is known for gusty winds and terrain-induced windshear / turbulence. We experianced gusty winds with loss and gain of airspeed on final, and heard stall horn buzzing on very short final. I will make a better landing next time.

Gr8 safe landing. well done!

I found that if the winds are bad it is easier to approach at 80kts until short final, then pull out all the power and float a few feet above to eliminate the risk of a sudden loss of airspeed. This of course is ONLY safe on a long enough runway.

Where is there???

[hammerogod]

Some day someone is going to market a Stall Warning that doesn't sound like Oompa Loompas farting through a tin horn.

haha that sound at 1:52, the stall horn reached its threshold. usually ya don't wanna hear that when landing, just the typical buzz at 1:45.
