Lesson #2...

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?

That's better. I was going to ask you if that's the exact way they worded
the question.

Your first version:
"How you would approach a runway that was narrower than you were
expecting?"

My answer: Exactly the same way you would a wide runway.

As for your answer "C", that is the correct answer.

That is not an FAA written test bank question, I just checked.

Yep. Badly worded in my blog. So sue me

I'm doing my PPL in the UK, so it's a JAA PPL.
