Lesson #2...

Hi,

I'm in flight school here in the States and that question/topic has never
come up. I would have no idea how to answer that question other to say you
should know exactly how wide the runway before you land on it and make sure
you land on the centerline.

Ok. I think I worded that wrong in terms of the question. The question is
more like:

'When landing at a runway that is narrower than originally expected, the
pilot may:

A Make a higher than normal approach and overshoot the threshold
B Make a higher than normal approach and undershoot the threshold
C Make a lower than normal approach and undershoot the threshold
D Make a lower than normal approach and overshoot the threshold

The correct answer (I think!) is 'C'. Because the runway is narrower than
you're expecting, you'll try to get closer to it to make the 'picture' look
the same.

Does that explain better what I was trying to explain in my blog?
