- floating: i actually had more problems floating in the 172 than the
warrior, go figure.


Me, too.


As my CFI used to say:

"If you float, you've got too much airspeed. Fix it."

A C172 with one person and partial fuel, landed at "book" speeds
instead of weight-adjusted speeds, will float.

Ditto for a Warrior IME

If you really want to see float, try landing a Grumman w/ "5 knots
for Grandma and 5 knots 'cuz I was nervous and I think more speed
is safer" tacked on.
