Student practices landing with gear up

I have a hard time getting below 100 without putting the gear
down.

I, also.

I know Bonanza pilots who are deathly afraid to ever get below
100 unless their wheels are inches from the ground.

We've discussed this before, but you may recall the previous owner of my
aircraft had a cow when I was flying him a few years ago and the stall
warning horn chirped as the wheels touched. He is one of those pilots who
has to land fast.

I enjoy the challenge of landing the Bo in the shortest distance possible,
so I don't have a problem crossing the fence at 60kts.

Matt, what's with the cranky tone? I prefer not to stir up any hard
feelings with you, especially after I thought we settled our differences
last year.

I did and I thought it was the perfect opportunity for a Bob Newhart-style
comeback. Sorry, a smiley there would have ruined the delivery.

15 is the bottom of the green, I like 17 because going below
that can shock cool the cylinders.

No such thing.

Full power, hot cylinders, power back to 12 inches,
cylinders cool fast, also turbocharged engines make that
turbo damage with big fast power reductions.

Agreed. To clarify my statement about doing the same thing every time,
I should have been more specific. A quick GUMP check will always keep
you out of trouble regardless of where in the pattern you do it.

This is a fun read

Some of you are so anal it makes me want to return to the bathroom for a
second wipe job to see what I am missing.

Wouldn't that be ...a smelly?

Just matching your cranky responses to those who pointed out the
mathematical inconsistency in your statement. :-)

You are excused now, Montblack! :-)

That is where you were mistaken. I didn't intend to convey a terse tone.
It was deadpan humor.
