Karl, your post makes no sense to me. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		 
		
	
	
	Every landing I make, in my '64 235, is as soft as a baby's ass! True, many people don't know how to land it, as typical Cessna indoctrination won't do! The technique I use, is chop it (throttle), and drop it (steep approach), then a progressive flare to a touchdown so soft, you feel like you landed on a baby's ass! (80 lbs in the baggage compartment helps the flare). The rollout on this type of landing is one-fourth to one-eighth of a 182's landing rollout. (Pilots around here roll 182's to the far end of the runway, for a really long taxi-back). At Pine Mountain, (Q45), landing runway 27, I make the first runway exit direct into the parking lot, no 182 ever does that! I just did it yesterday, and I'm still trying to figure out which is softer, my landings, a baby's butt, or the "rack" on my favorite stripper! Too bad some people never "get it"!  |
