For example, whenever I fly, I find that when I bank the plane, I lose sight of the target during the turn. It took a while before I could line up with the runway at the end of a turn without making a few adjustments. And putting the landing gear on a certain point on the runway took about a dozen touch-and-goes before I succeeded. Yeah riiiight.... Why do you insist on proving that you know nothing of flying ? |

He's either a student of simmer. Trying to land on a spot and hit that spot are two very different things. To land on a spot usually takes a few hundred trys althought luck will bring up a few sucesses some where in there. To hit a spot you just point at it. If it's a big tall building it'd be even easier, particularly if you aren't fussy where you hit it.

Which same is why he posts this drivel a looong way from flying groups I doubt that he's a student. from the errors in his aviation claims Trying to land on a spot and hit that spot are two very different things.
