I thought I was the only one until I read Rod's article today! I have
used this technique, more or less subconsciously when flaring larger low wing singles, to coax a greaser out of the landing. If you are slightly on the fast side and you encounter ground effect this comes in handy. If you are slow or right on your desired touchdown speed then I find I use it less. That being the case, I too have found hostility from some instructors or check airmen. "Don't do that....you'll end up porpoising." "Don't do that its poor technique." "But...the landing was perfect?" "Doesn't matter it's poor technique!" (I think thats why I gave up piano lessons years ago...had an instructor who loved to say "that's poor technique") I'm sticking with Rod on this one. PTB |
