photonic;
you write that you have to land correctly first time or you will fail. I'd like to hear people's opinions on this.
I would like to know I had the margin to fly by if need be. But I also remember taking my driving test as a kid. You only got one shot at it, and you either did it right or it didn't count. So I suppose it's the same thing. But in the real world, you can usually scrub a bad approach...but then there's the deadstick. You only get one shot at that. So maybe it is a neccessary requirement.
