Continuation video of yesterday's flight. A compilation of my
landings ranging from:

Normal Landing
Soft Field Landing touch and go.
Simulated Engine Failure
Go Around
full stop normal landing

All landings begin with final except for the first one and the engine
failure where I begin that turning base as well.

Comments most welcomed to improve my technique here or on the video!

Why the touchdown?

No criticism, just curios. Did you cut short to final (by turning from
base more quickly) because you would expect to do so in this scenario or
did you do it for the obvious safety reasons?

Yes, I did this as if it was the real deal.

I can always "lose altitude" by slipping and landing longer should I
have still found myself too high on short final, but most importantly,
I didn't want to get out of "gliding range".

No such thing as "standard pattern" on a simulated failure, you do
what you have to do to bring it down safely.

Hmmm, no touchdown on the go around. I went down to about 1 to 2 feet
above the runway???? Watch the nose drop slightly as I retracted
flaps as I throttled up.
