RE: Who Says You Cannot Make your Own Airplane? Series #9: Understand The Concept Of Flight Approach And Landing

If you should touch down too soon, there is a If you should touch down too soon, there is a tendency for the aircraft to bounce into the air again. The action you take depends upon your airspeed. If it is high and the bounce is small, release some of the backward pressure on the control column and allow the aircraft to descend. When you are at the correct height, fly out into landing attitude. If the airspeed is low and the bounce is high, apply power to resist in the fly out to prevent stalling. If the fly out is premature, the aircraft may start to climb. Check the backward pressure on the control column and descend to the height. If the airspeed is too low, apply more power. Close the throttle before trying to regain the landing attitude and then fly out into the landing attitude again. Also, keep in mind that recovering from bounce will mean you will have to produce any necessary drift correction.tendency for the aircraft to bounce into the air again.

Amazing, you write it like an experience. You definitely have all it takes to be a pilot if you aren't already.

The crosswind landing seems daring.

Highly daring. But you cannot do without it. Crosswind landings take most percentage of the landings. With practice, you gonn get used to it.

Thank you for this @synick. So good to see you here.

You're welcome buddy
