never mind keep at it,

landing at larger airfield from smaller ones is a visual deception, you tend to flare earlier then you should, hence the balloning, it takes a bit of time, but once you get the perspective you will be fine,

don't worry about it, the threshold speed looked OK, just keep at it my friend.

I wasn't the one landing, i was filming. The two guys flying were high time CFI/CFII's, the illusion didn't get them. The fact that he carried a couple extra inches of power on approach added to the float.

Oh I know what happened. It's called a porpoise. The main-gear hits first and it just bounces the nose right back up and then in reaction the pilot pitches back down, causing the same action to repeat. If you porpoise the first time, you're supposed to hold the nose up and flare until you stall-->causing you to land, like in every other landing. People forget that a true landing is supposed to be where the plane stalls inches above the runway, which causes it to settle down nicely.

Agreed toastno6, I've never been worried about prop sync on short final. Props are always forward ready for a go around.

On the small thumbnail of this video it looked like that object up the top right was another plane landing from right to left infront of you.. crazy eyes i have

hey im going to seneca next year for the aviation program i just had my tour today.. seneca looks amazing, fascinating 172s and the twin engines and the bonanzas also i flew the crj200 sim amazing

@Rybread34 wow.

[Rybread34]

That game has pretty good graphics. Resolution is a bit bad though.

captain cangaroo air lol

we all have a bad one

@sk8drumdie0116

That will work in smaller aircraft where your Vref is at a much slower speed (close to stall speed). But in a larger aircraft under a Bravo, traffic is in and around 170kias to the diamond and flaring until a stall is impractical. In fact an ILS approach will be mostly pitched down 2.5 degrees while simultaneously decreasing the throttle. A gentle rounded flare with no power should land you under 50fpm before the 1000ft line.

@Lineguy04 lol @ high time CFI's......thats friggin funny.

LOL! I think this vid helped me a bit

Student pilot learning 'circuits' and landings. I've always feared landing after my first attempt because I thought I came in hard and almost broke the plane, even though I came in with main wheels touching first.

Was so scared, I did every landing nose wheel first after that, to the shock and horror of my instructor...

by my count he landed 4 times.
