+1 on what Ken said, all good info especially getting your approach set up correctly. A good approach yields a good landing.

Practice your approaches a lot and watch your air speed as you are making your approach. As Ken said start slowing down on your cross leg , that will help you see what your speed is , then you can adjust ( fine tune ) on your final. When practicing , try to make a long approach if you can , that way you have plenty of time to adjust your speed. I find that if you SQUARE off your pattern instead of rounding it off , you have more time to adjust.

Now that we went through that~~ you need to practice practice Practice your approaches until you can make nice smooth passes straight down the runway, all the time adjusting your throttle to set up the proper speed for a nice smooth pass . After you get that straight , a nice smooth landing can follow right where you want it.

Apology noted and accepted . Thank You. Good Luck ENJOY !!! RED
