Default Me being a passenger - Video

Second landing was much better and mains settled first. On that
landing, talked her through my "landing trick" of just before wheels
touch, to add a touch (like 25 rpm) of power, which gave her more
time to effectively flare. The chirp on the second landing was the
nose wheel settling. Mains came down nice and soft.

On looking again, I agree there appeared to be some flare on the second
landing. I suspect the "chirp" was really from the mains. Encourage her
to flare consistently to avoid a damaging nose strike or porpoising with
possible resultant damage. A three-point is a hair away from one of
these scenarios.
