In 40 years of instructing, I never had a student pilot that didn't
bounce a few times on landing. When they got upset I told them, Hell if
you made every landing perfectly you wouldn't know how to handle one
that wasn't!
As for professional pilots losing one on landing, without being there
to see it, what do I know about what was going on?
I'm interested to hear the definition of "highly experienced". ??
And, I teach all my students to keep on flying until the dust settles.
