REFLECTOR: Landing Technique

[Richard Affenit]

As you make your approach you are reducing power. As you do that the nose tends to fall and you land holding the nose up slightly with elevator and when the mains hit - BAM. Try just a little bit of back elevator trim before the mains hit and you can really control the nose falling. Not too much trim however! Try a little at a time until you get it right.

  Starting to get a few more landing under my belt and things are getting a LOT smoother.  One thing that I seem to be suffering from is where I touch down smooth on the mains, hold the nose off, but can't seem to lower it gently.  The nose comes down and then bounces back up.  Any suggestions?
