REFLECTOR: Interesting Reminder

[John Abraham]

It looks like he was at idle on the engine and just tried to flare at 30 or 50 feet. The Velocity will come down like a pancake if you don't fly in to the runway. I would imagine an EZ will do the same.

He either pulled the speed brake up then put it down or his speed was sufficient to push it up so he should have had lift and control so I'm perplexed.  Would love a explanation so I can learn what not to do.  He made a mistake then pulled up and delayed the power up but did get it done.
