landings (off topic)
Sorry for the off topic question, but I suspect there are quite a few
of you that could help me: I'm looking for good techniques for teaching student pilots how to handle the final phase of landing. In particular how to get students to recognize when the airplane (a Cessna 152 or 172) is sinking or rising during the flare, then take appropriate action with pitch and possibly power. I find that it is really hard to get them to anticipate the loss of lift and control effectiveness that occurs as the airspeed decreases. I don't know whether they don't recognize the sink or just can't translate the recognition into action. I've tried things like having them look out the side of the airplane and giving "auditory" feedback. Not much seems to speed the learning process. So my question to instructors and instructees is: are there any special exercises that you are aware of that can help in this recognition process? |
