Default Re: Kellwolf's Pinnacle Updates

Great tips! Thanks guys. Basically, I've been flaring too high and running out of a/s. A couple of landings, the OE captain commented that my flare looked great, though. A couple I didn't hold the nose wheel off long enough. Right now every fiber of my being is screaming "lawn dart!" on short final, though.

As far as the AP/FD, on about the third visual approach I realized the FD was distracting me more than helping me, so I just have it removed at this point and go for airpseed, vertical speed and pitch. We can have our TR out all the way to 60 knots, then they have to be at idle, so that helps a bit on the floating problem.
