When I land something like a Cessna (in reality) I use

Is that because it's dragging on the ground after your nose wheel
crushing landing?
LOL

I think it was Dud who kicked off this thread,
" Psychology and Pilots".
I recall pilots expressing a fear of landings too.
The take-off followed by regular fair weather flying
was pleasureable, but (now that Dud raised the
issue), I recall some pilots expressing stress at
landing, (I never paid attention to that before).

I remind you it was Dud who brought up the
psychology issues, I'm just working his issues
with psychology, it was his call at the OP.

BTW, "wing flaps" I very definitely recommend
an SOP *buy the book* landing, if that how you
want to land.
