Thanks, I wasn't being critical -- I'm relatively new at instrument
flying and I wondered how people generally flew circling approaches.

On the contrary, I appreciate you taking the time to notice :-) It's small
details like that can make me a better pilot with the input from others.

Is that because you are flying a Sundowner? I've never flown one but
I've read that if you're even the slightest bit fast you'll float in
the flare. Of course a 10 kt margin is also unusually wide for a stall
horn.

Yes, I am in a 1976 Sundowner. It's designed to fly :-) and excess speed
is your enemy for short field landings. If you fly a Sundowner by the
numbers, the trailing link gear will make you look like a pro!

thanks for all the videos!

My pleasure. If you see anything to help me improve my landings, please
post! We learn by listening!
