Default RE: Final approach.

yep flaring too early/high you gotta let the plane come down dont fight it, you cant land at 2 ft you have to come down another 24 inches. i guess im saying at 2 ft level off to let the speed bleed off, as the plane again starts sinking just feed in some elev. to keep the nose level, doing this will slow the plane down and allow a good decent rate without dumping the airspeed, but hold off on the flare untill you are closer to the ground. BTW the flare is when you lift the nose to land on the mains and to bleed off airspeed just prior to touchdown 2 ft is way too high.

wow tis not easy puttin in to words what is almost second nature
