Spot Landings
Can you land to a spot within 100' of the designated spot without
power? If not you should do some serious practice or get some good training until you can. What happened to the old time spot landing contests that were taking place regularly on weekends? It appears that Pilot Proficiency has gone down the tubes in favor of technology. |

They are still required for the commercial pilot ticket. It is still my favorite part of training commercial pilots. It gets a little, you know, competitive... :-) -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

Where is this coming from? Is this what this group has degraded to? All we get is spam, MX, and posts about hypothetical situations.
