As a segue from off airport landings....how about precision? Can you
consistently touch down at minimum speed with your regular aircraft
within a 50' mark? Can you do it with a short/soft/XW/ Obstacle? Can
you do it with any configuration of flaps and or power?

And in addition to this type of landing without power, how about when you
have power, but have to make a rapid reaction to change you spot at the last
moment. What comes to mind, is at OSH on 9/27, when at the last moment the
controller (or other circumstances) calls for a change to touch down one dot
early or one dot later that what he said at first, and now you are feet from
the ground, trying to make it work.

As a spectator at OSH, it seems like some people are totally unprepared for
precision spot landings, and some practice would be in order. Good idea for
a thread.
