Student practices landing with gear up

It is not until power is pulled almost all the way back, which in my case typically is less than 50 feet above the runway or about a second before touchdown. You land with a vertical speed of fifty feet per second? I don't think it matters whether it's gear up or down at that point! LESS than. I guess the tears in your eyes from your uncontrollable laughter perhaps prevented you from reading that part.  -- Peter

Even if it was half that, 25 fps is still 1500 fpm, which is a pretty hefty rate of descent that close to the runway. I probably take 6 or more seconds from 50 feet to touchdown. Matt
