Landing into a short field with obstacle on Final-The "window" method
I remember John Good (?) mentioning somewhere that when landing out he plans his pattern so that on final he passes through an imaginary window a bit above the final obstacle, at the right speed and aligned with the runway.
Wonder if someone has more information or can expand ? Dan

Dan Dan take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXIm...8&spfreload=10 I think the most important thing is to always have an aim point, for every landing on your home field. This way when you land at another airport or field you will be able to spot land. Remember an obstacle on final will shorten your landing area by 8 times the height of the obstacle. For many pilots the aim point is the runway!

I thought your aim point should be the bottom sill of that "window" and than another aim point on the runway.
