The art of landing



It is hard to practice landings when you are at home, obviously, sure you can read about it but you soon realize that actual practice makes better (no one is perfect). Having said that, below are some articles with videos and graphics that allow you to "see" the landing and you can pause to think about it. I love the Sporty's Private Pilot course but if you don't have or want a supplement check this out.

AOPA's flight training magazine Jan 2010 has an article on pg 22 "10 online resources for better takeoffs and landings" by Rob Krajcik that I just read and looked at the sites. Some things cost money , I didn't buy those, probably some great info I am missing??

The links below are free, I looked at them - and liked them and in order that worked for me, each person is different and learns differently.
