You approach at a normal airspeed, full flaps, coming over the numbers at 65 kts. The mains touchdown, followed by the nosegear. Slight right aileron is being maintained into the wind. Everything is aligned properly and on the centerline at touchdown. Dan, a couple other things to consider... Is there just you and an instructor in the plane? How big are you and the instructor? Full fuel, two up front, at 65 kts, your over the numbers speed is too fast. Try slowing to 55 - 60 kts over the numbers. Full stall stall speed is going to be below 45 kts at the lighter weight. Your are drifting because you are still too light on the wheels. Does the stall horn go off as the wheels touch the ground? Do you float down the runway between roundout and touchdown? You should be maintaining pitch attitude as the aircraft settles by steadily increasing backpressure on the yoke. Even as the wheels touch, you continue to steadily pull backpressure and hold it full aft until your in your parking spot and the engine is shut down. |
