A student busted one of our 150s years ago by wheelbarrowing it. He'd
tried to land twice before, both times too fast and high, and had to go
around. This time he was going to land no matter what, and that's when
it happened.
A good landing starts on downwind. Get the airplane properly
positioned, at the right speed and glidepath, start the roundout when
still out of ground effect to prevent floating from excessive speed,
and touch down on the mains with the nose high. Not as easy as it
sounds.
