Landing KMBO - Shallow S turns on final Video

[[email protected]]

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......

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?

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.
