Doesn't it also have something to do with less convective turbulence
at night?

maybe a little but generally the more bumpy it is, the further
I extend the downwind just to set up and trim out the plane
more for a more stable final leg. I think it is more mental than
anything.


Then again, today I did my mountain checkout in an Archer (also
the first time I flew the Archer vs. Warrior) and had my best
landing yet with the textbook definition of a greaser.
Someday I'll be able to grease them all flying my BBJ.
