I was not aware I was watching the shadow of the plane and the plane as I did my approaches. I found out when it was pointed out to me. A guy was watching my eyes dart back and forth from the plane to something and back to the plane. We talked about it and I found I was watching the shadow to see how high I was. The closer the shadow, the closer to the ground.

Angles can cause your eyes to see what is not there. Are you wearing sunglasses? If not try it. My brother does not wear sun glasses much. We was bouncing the plane like a pogo stick until I handed him my shades. He was squinting so hard it effected his vision.

If the wind is giving you problems, try a little faster landing speed. I am not talking a whole lot faster just a tad bit faster then you have been doing it.
