My problem is not so much with landing as with orientation at distance. It is sometimes hard to determine how far out the plane is from me.
Just an idea.
Why not have someone with you (at least initially ) to relate distances/heights. Use these in conjunction with landmarks that are around and in your immediate flying field/area. For instance, if there were a fence about 1/2 way between the edge of the field and the tree line, a "spotter" could tell you, "OK, the plane is xxxx feet out from you." And if you were to see that the plane was in line with a big crotch in a tree at the tree line at the same time, the spotter could also tell you how high up the plane is.
I realize that this is not a complete solution, however, between the sunglasses, a spotter and some memory work to memorize distances/heights/landmarks you have a very workable solution.
