Default Re: Landing in a high wing (C172)

Excellent advice in the last post. The biggest thing that I think helps make for consistently good landings is a consistent approach. Airspeed is the biggest variable, and the closer you can keep this to the speed recommended by the book or the speed at which you know you can produce the desired effect is where you want to aim for. Once you can control the airspeed at which you begin your flare, everything else should fall into place.
