I'm a new student learning with a DA-20. Got most things mastered
except for the landings...most important, no? haha
Seems that most of my landings and I have only tried 9 times thus far
are not very well executed. My CFI sez that I am doing two things
wrong:
1) I am flaring too late.
2) When I flair, I am not quick enough on the stick.

I was thinking about the whole thing and have theroized that my CFI is
only telling me to flare when he is sure I am not going to do it on my
own and he wishes to remain alive. And here I am waiting for him to
tell me when to pull back. It seems that this combination might result
in a late action everytime. We need to discuss this next trip out.

When it appears that I am at the correct height, I pull back on the
stick and end up in a float, then I sense the fall and pull back one
again ending in a bounce or otherwise non-perfect result.

I will return to my CFI for more advice when I get another chance to
bang up the leased-back airplane, but in the mean time...anyone out
there have any advice on landing this thing perfectly??

Thanks in advance!
