using less spoiler just before the flare???
Gary Emerson wrote:
Any other thinking as to a benefit in reducing spoiler just before the flare? a) Some gliders (not the Duo 8^) cause sufficient sink rate at full extension to make for a rather firm arrival if not reduced. b) Some gliders actuate the wheel brakes at full extension, and some instructors are known to get overly concerned about generating a screech and a nice puff of smoke.
