My DE told me that if I blew the short field landing, as in it wasn't short,
I would fail. I kinda agree since if you mess that one up on a real life
short field you'll probably drive into some trees. I did mess up the first
approach so I did a go-around and set it up better the 2nd time.

I didn't get the short-field landing right on my checkride either. The
DE told me "that wasn't very short!" and had me park the airplane,
whereupon she passed me.

It's more about safe piloting than it is about perfect piloting. But
my next four landings were spot-on-the-numbers!
