COMMON ERROR: Dropping the nose to land
is commonly caused by attempting to recenter a
rising ball in close.
COMMON ERROR: Holding off is commonly
caused by reducing power or carrying
insufficient power during the latter portion of the
approach and attempting to correct the resulting
“settle” by pulling back on the stick.
COMMON ERROR: Attempting to take a “cut”
at the ramp for a “high” or a “climb in close”
results in excessive sink rates and long deck
rolls.
