I have long strings of good and bad ones. But largely, when you grease it in, people comment on how bad it was. When you prang it on, people comment how good it was.

A couple days ago, I was flying with a student that was really having a hard time stablizing his approach. I explained to him that a great landing always starts with a great approach. So, I took the plane and demonstrated a perfect traffic pattern, and banged it down onto the numbers on the spot - carrier style. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

So, it's his turn and he flies his weird, funky pattern and makes it to the runway - where he makes the smoothest landing I've seen in weeks.

"Good lesson, Timmy - I'm going to eat a little bit more crow now..."
