5.0 out of 5 stars
Single best advice I ever had,
By Frederick Pilot (Frederick, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Perfect Landings-00-P (Paperback)
I'm nominating this at the best advice I ever had on landings. His suggestion to always try to be at 400 feet when on final works especially well when away from the home airport. It also is a great help when talking to a tower that grants a straight-in approach. It allows you to make use of the airports elevation, in case you hadn't been using that information. Another tip is to aim for the second stripe and land on the third. Do that at the home airport and you'll be making spot landings exactly where the tower asks you to land.

This review is from: Making Perfect Landings in Light Airplanes (Hardcover)
Was hoping for new insights or suggestions for better landings, but it was just a hash over of the normal teachings.
