Line Up and Wait
The club I belong to has two planes available. I did all of my PP training in our 172. Due to insurance requirements I need 10 hours in the 182 and (obviously) my High Performance endorsement before I can solo it.
Up until now I have about 2 hours in the 182. It's heavier and I don't have much of a problem with the controls (take off and maneuvers) - but what I do have a problem with is the sight picture in the flare.
So far I have a tendency to be way to high in the flare - resulting in dropping it in from a few feet. I know that's no way to impress my instructor! Any suggestions?
I have another lesson this Saturday morning and I plan on using Ben's suggestion and let my instructor do the first landing while I concentrate on the sight picture.
