Its amazing how a bad landing can ruin your day too. I went up on my second official instrument lesson the other day, did everything well, pretty much to PTS standards. Made a decent landing over at Monroe County. Came back to PDK, tracked the VOR to the field, set up everything just right... then flared too high and pranged it in.... and that landing was all I could think about for 2 hours [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]

Its like they say... theres way more to flying then landing, but landing is what the general population will judge you on.
