Gboulton,

Just out of curiosity why do you teach landings before takeoffs? I usually teach the other way. My rationale is that the student must be able to control the airplane on the ground at "high" speeds upon landing, so I teach taxiing and takeoff first. I feel that landing is a natural extention of takeoff. Plus students usually find landing more daunting, so learning to takeoff first will ease their concerns a bit.

Again, I'm not criticizing - just curious.
