I'll never forget coming in for a landing....I got about 15 feet over the runway in stormy conditions...the 20 mph headwind went poof, my air speed said "whut the heck" we went plop and I couldn't stand up quickly for a week.  My FI said after the flop " wanna go around again?" I said " are you f***ing nuts?"  This makes me look like a wisker biscuit.   :salute


I wouldnt try this if I were in a rubber ball.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

Timing.... The pilot had to wait until deck motion was the least and get it down quickly... Superior skills....
My regards,

You should know to cut your headwind in half and add that to your approach speed.
Just saying.. :aok

Musta been Burt Reynolds or something.
