Default Lining up landings

Find landmarks for where to make the turns. The same landmarks will work with almost every airplane you fly at that field. At our field, approaching from the north there's a V formed between two trees. Just lining up in the V is perfect.

The turn onto final... you practically aim the nose of the plane at yourself. That final touch of rudder to line up with the runway will be easy if its comming straight for you an about 100 to 200 yards out.

I had a big problem with always landing 100 ft or more out beyond the runway until someone told me to aim for myself.
