Landing KMBO - Shallow S turns on final Video
Absolutely the rarest of rare days down here. CRYSTAL clear
conditions, can see the edge of earth. Took 3 others up for a overflight of their home and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jmd1aaXH9U was the landing. Since I had that extra weight that I was not used to, I carried a touch more power then needed on base to final and had to do some shallow S turns on final to lose the extra altitude. Cameraman did something different and turned the camera on us on very short final. Funny to see no reactions on landing, which I take is a good thing :-) At least now some can put a face to a posting anyhooooo...... Allen |

Your approach looked like a flat low power glide. Why not raise the nose and add a bit of power to increase the sink rate? Cheers |

Cheers Main reason I didn't raise the nose is I was already trimmed for landing and my CG was toward the rear. I didn't feel comfortable adding more nose up at that given moment. The light thermals prevented some of the sink rate that I was anticipating as well. Had it been pristine conditions, your way would work just great as well. |
