Default The right way?

I did a few of those wheel landings Saturday!2.3 more hours in the wind! I
do know what you're saying John Smith. I was in the front seat of a Cub and
could not see out front. Had to make those S turns in taxi , and the guy
that was PIC used the open door as his stall indicator of sorts on landing.
When the open door started rising he said it was ready to land. System
worked very nice for him , perfect three pointers! We did one two wheel
landing and the visibility was alot better that way, but as soon as the
tail goes down it's back to trying to see out of the sides.

The exceptions to the above a

1. high crosswinds, where you keep the speed up and land with power and
reduced (or no) flap
2. short field
3. soft field
4. windshear conditions
5. airframe ice
6. landing into the setting sun, where you fly a very flat approach and
feel the for runway.
7. probably a few conditions that I missed.


8. Taildragger wheel landings--by far easier than the "normal"
full-stall.


Also easier to drop it and bounce it depending on type of gear. I do not
necessarily think that wheel landings are easier. I do not use wheel
landings unless the airplane has a serious tailwheel shimmy or during a
strong crosswind to assist in lateral control.
