For me, that's a close second to hearing the tower controller's "Good
job, welcome to Oshkosh" when you put it on the appropriate dot/numbers.


NOTE: Short final, keep your hand cocked on the throttle, ready to push
it up smoothly and quickly. (power, pitch, flaps, gear)
Depending upon what and who you may be following, if they decide to land
on what is beneath them instead of where they have been directed ahead
of them, you must be ready to go around.
Decision time is not, "Oh, look at that! He/she just landed where I was
told to."
It is a mile back, when you are watching the aircraft ahead of you and
observing how well they maintain airspeed and separation.
If you are catching up to them, and you are still two or three airplanes
from the threshold, your decision is already made.
Your Arrow will not slow down with the 172's and stay in the air.
Push it up, initiate a climb, sidestep to the right while cleaning up so
you can keep an eye on things ahead and beneath you, then break into a
climbing turn to join an appropriate downwind. Watch for traffic and
maintain any separation.
You are a low wing aircraft so you will want to fly/cross under any
traffic on your climbout so you can maintain visual contact. Kick it out
wide for separation. Tower will see what has happened and sequence you
back into the flow.
Do not hesitate to go around. You do not need to say anything on the
radio unless asked. Just follow Tower's instructions.
