Well, Cessnas do all seem to flare at a higher deck angle than pipers.
I've been in the backseat of a 172 that was being landed in a
crosswind by a commercial pilot, and I can understand exactly what he
means. Pipers do land more airliner-like IMO.


I haven't been in the back of a 172 since I was five, and the only times
I've been in a 182, I jumped out the door at 5,000 feet and watched it land
beneath me next to the drop zone. Definately something I want to do soon,
to better experience what passengers feel back there.
