Default A Service ceiling question (Piper 235)

Karl, your post makes no sense to me.

Every landing I make, in my '64 235, is as soft as a baby's ass!

True, many people don't know how to land it, as typical Cessna
indoctrination won't do!

The technique I use, is chop it (throttle), and drop it (steep
approach), then a progressive flare to a touchdown so soft, you feel
like you landed on a baby's ass! (80 lbs in the baggage compartment
helps the flare). The rollout on this type of landing is one-fourth to
one-eighth of a 182's landing rollout. (Pilots around here roll 182's
to the far end of the runway, for a really long taxi-back).

At Pine Mountain, (Q45), landing runway 27, I make the first runway
exit direct into the parking lot, no 182 ever does that! I just did it
yesterday, and I'm still trying to figure out which is softer, my
landings, a baby's butt, or the "rack" on my favorite stripper!
Too bad some people never "get it"!
