landing, wind no factor, I cut power on downwind and glide all the way in.


Me too. Carb heat goes on as soon as I enter the downwind, and the
power comes off when I am abreast my landing spot. I advance the
throttle at least once on each leg for a couple seconds. If I need
power on final, I add it and give myself a D for that landing.

If I glide right in, I give myself a C. If I have to slip, it's a B.

An A is awarded only for a perfect wheelie.

In any event, it's a glide from abreast the landing spot. Never tried
it on a carrier
