Default RE: How to slow down plane while landing?

ORIGINAL: byrne1157

After having read all of these posts, which give excellent feedback, I have only one suggestion. Make sure you land from right-to-left as well as you can left-to-right. We have a few guys that have long rollouts at our field, because they can only land from left-to-right. Sometimes this is not a good thing, because they are landing with a tailwind, instead of a headwind. Make sure you are landing into the wind...
Dang right this is not a good thing!

What happens when a pilot, who knows how to land with the wind, is flying with another pilot who can only land in one direction, regardless of wind direction?

Long rollouts are for dumb thumbs....
