All,
Occasionally, I find myself in the following situation when landing. I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. I fly over the numbers at the proper airspeed, and on the (VASI) glideslope. I flare by putting the cowling to the horizon and holding off unitl touchdown. After touchdown, I find the plane drifting to the left, while the nose is pointing to the right. Applying further right rudder seems to result in a squirrley/sliding feeling (not sure if I am acutally sliding though, just afraid to push it any further). Applying brakes at anything more than very slight pressure results in skidding. At this point, I find myself rolling down the runway, unable to slow down fast enough and trying to control the drift. This could happen in little to no wind conditions. What am I doing wrong? I'm not a beginner, but occasionally this happens and I can't seem to figure it out. Do I need to.... A. Crank in aggressive alieron to the right. B. Apply lots of back-pressure to get more weight on the mains to allow breaking. C. Something else....? Dan |
