Default RE: Slowing Down to Land

You're probsbly diving at the runway. It's a common reaction with new flyers who aren't comfortable with being near the ground. I try to be less than 3 feet off the ground and level when I get to the end of the runway when it's windy, and as low as a foot when it's not. The more wind there is, the more dive you can get away with.
