I taught myself the "short women landing a 182" trick and my instructor
wanted to throttle me. I trimmed it for the flare and pushed it forward
on short final. I didn't have the arm strength to yank it into the
flare if I was sitting close enough to reach the rudder. About a month
later Rod Machado wrote up pretty much what I had figured out.



That's awesome! I may just try that technique myself, just to see how
it works.


This I don't understand. With just myself in my old 182 the CG is
pretty far forward. Properly trimmed it's a two finger operation to
flare. If you have to yank it you're really doing something wrong.



How far away from the yoke are you? There is a big difference when you
are pulling your arm from close to straight to 90 degrees and when you
start at 90 degrees and have to pull it into your belly. Also I would
bet your upper body strengh is quite a bit more than mine. I stand at
5'2" when I'm lying (5'1 3/4"). A yank for me is a pull for you.

I had three good lines typed out, but couldn't send any of them! g

You win.

You can do that while landing an airplane?

Seriously, why not use some trim tab?

Well, I never measured it but my arm would rest on the arm rest.

Look, I'm just a sweet, innocent, little thing and didn't have any idea
you boys would look at it this way (why I thought you were any different
from ...., oh well). Anyway, as I was trying to say... The closer the
pilot is to the yoke while trying to flare more perceived strength is
needed to bring the yoke to an aft position as it is easier to bring the
arm from fully extended to a 90 degree angle than from 90 degrees to
closer in. I do trim. I trim for the flare and push on the yoke on
short final, release forward pressure and lane. That's on a 182. The
NAVION on the other hand is a PLEASURE to fly and I can two finger that
in all but nasty crosswinds.
